The Young Empires are a band out of Toronto with an already impressive catalog.  They are also known for making some great videos.  I posted this song once before, in a new Canadian release post, but I liked it then, and I like it now.  Their sound is very Arcade Fire like with a dash of Coldplay.  Enjoy White Doves.
