The Courtneys Are Better at Songwriting Than You or I

If that episode of Rick and Morty where that giant, yellow head comes down to earth and says "SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT" and Earth has to have a band play for the lives of all humanity happened IRL, I'd probably nominate the Courtneys as our representative. Seriously, I don't know how the Courtneys learned to write songs, whether they were born with it, or took lessons or something, but someone let me know so I can bottle it and make a fortune. Their latest video is a reverse one-shot (shout out "Lucas With the Lid Off") slice of East Vancouver slacker culture that probably makes more than one person yearn for the summer on the west coast. It's a decent visual representation of what they're about: half smirk smiles that are more genuine than most.
