On their 2007 full-length, COMPASS ROSE BOUQUET, Michigan-based Great Lakes Myth Society play a varied form of indie rock that shifts from orchestrated chamber pop to intelligent roots rock and back, sometimes in the course of a single track. The band's literate songwriting and expansive production places them in a similar niche as other intelligent pop-rock bands of the early 2000s, including the Shins and the Arcade Fire. Yet the Pogues-esque "Queen of the Barley Fool" and the elegant "March" have a boozy, lovably maudlin feel that evokes long drives in the rust belt night.
