Montpelier... timeless Australian indie-pop.

If I was a thoughtful, modern man and wanted to be a band with integrity and class (and I was a good singer and could write great music) then I'd probably record earnest songs about love with subtle string arrangements and slow building crescendos. I'd also set them to uncomplicated visually arresting film clips which are about love too. Wouldn't you?

There's something about Montpelier which to me smacks of class. The name of the band, the beautiful packaging of their EP, the unresolved nature of the love story in this film clip and their songwriting. There's a subtlety there that tells me that they think hard about their music, their web presence and themselves. Big things I reckon, that's what's going to happen to Montpelier.
