Toronto-based indie-poppers Ohbijou delivered their long-awaited (I suppose it was only 3 years) sophomore album “Beacons” this past year, following-up on their 2006 debut release “Swift Feet for Troubling Times”. Make It Gold can be found in the oft-controversial #9 position on the album, and is gorgeous number that begins by feeling almost underscored (by Ohbijou standards) before swelling into another one of their orchestral masterpieces. For more from the 7-piece ensemble, consisting of sisters Casey and Jennifer Mecija, Heather Kirby, James Bunton, Anissa Hart, Ryan Carley, and Andrew Kinoshita, check out their MySpace below. The band also keeps a fairly updated blog where you can follow them, which is also posted below.

Keep on, moving never took so long
These legs are bricks and rip through sheets
Steaming underneath the clothes we wore
Now on the floor, it’s true
Bring back wickedness
Bring back temperaments
Bring back the wind that blew the fire into
The woods where I wait for you
The nights are bare, we kiss like thieves
The air is sharp in evergreens
I stretch like waters bring this ship to harbour
We’ll brave this storm and come out new
Bring back wickedness
Bring back temperaments
Bring back the wind that blew the fire into
The woods where I wait for you
We’ll blow this smoke and make it gold
We’ll blow this smoke and make it gold
These songs get old, these songs get old
We’ll blow this smoke and make it gold
