The debut album from the most Canadian-sounding band imaginable is here. Mounties features Hawksley Workman, Hot Hot Heats Steve Bays and Limblifters Ryan Dahle, and their album Thrash Rock Legacy arrives on March 4 through Light Organ Records. Ahead of time, though, its available to stream in full on Exclaim.ca.

With 14 tracks a running time of an hour, the album is stuffed with ideas. There is a huge range of sounds, from dreamy synth twinkles of Tokyo Summer to the brash rock riffs of If This Dance Catches On and the quirky reggae of The Twig the Tree.

In an Exclaim! interview, Mounties explain that the songs were born from extended jam sessions at Vancouvers Greenhouse Studios.

Within a day, well have probably about seven 40-minute jams, Dahle says. And within those 40-minute jams, sometimes we have probably five songs or one song thats lots of parts.

Workman adds, When theres a hook that starts to materialize, everybodys mind goes into emphasizing that hook. So when were listening back to an hours worth of playing, its not about guitar solos and drum solos and extravagance. Its really about mining those moments that are hooky enough to become a song.
