Toronto — Kingston, Ontario’s quick-rising duo, PS I Love You, will tour North America upon the release of their brilliant debut album Meet Me At The Muster Station. The 26-date tour sees the band travel across Canada and the United States including a stop at CMJ in New York City. The band will be sharing the stage with the likes of Japandroids, Ladyhawk and Frog Eyes along the way. Paper Bag Records will release the album October 5th on CD, digital download and limited-edition 180 gram clear vinyl.

Meet Me At The Muster Station is a relentless listen that grips and pulls the listener through just under thirty-minutes of squalling Marshall feedback, searing solos, soaring melodies and rock-steady beats and will surely be considered one of this year’s finest debuts.

PS I Love You have been extremely busy over the past couple of years having already released two acclaimed 7″ singles. The first was a split 7″ with friend Diamond Rings in August of 2009. Earlier this year, the band released a 7″ for ‘Starfield’ before wowing audiences at their Canadian Music Week and NXNE showcases. Recently, the band has shared the stage with the hottest indie acts including label-mates Born Ruffians as well as Japandroids and Wavves. The PS I Love You EP is now available through iTunes and Paper Bag Digital and contains no material from the full length album.

PS I Love You was originally the solo project for multi-instrumentalist Paul Saulnier who has performed in everything from a country-rock band to an improvised noise duo. PS I Love You was intended to be his experimental, pop music outlet using guitar looping pedals, keyboards with some gadgets and gimmicks. The addition of Benjamin Nelson on drums suddenly transformed PS I Love You’s little songs into mini, soaring rock anthems.

What folks are saying about PS I Love You:

With PS I Love You’s Meet Me at the Muster Station slowly but surely becoming one of our most anticipated releases of 2010, it’s nice to see more tracks from the Kingston, ON’s debut being offered for public consumption. Today, our taste of the upcoming Paper Bag release comes via the record’s third track, “2012.” The track shows the duo’s knack for anthemic call-to-arms throw-downs, which they mix with just the right level of teen angst and down-and-out melancholy. – Exclaim

The record isn’t out until October 5th, but since I got my copy I’ve had trouble turning it off and I’d wager it’s going to crack countless year end lists. At only 30-minutes, the record is concise and for a debut it’s remarkable that the band never stumbles or lets up. They absolutely blew my ear drums out at Gus’ Pub opening for Apollo Ghosts, but in a bit more controlled environment – like a properly recorded LP – you really get to hear the genius moments of guitar hooks and fuzz. – Herohill

What are blogs for, if not to make hyperbolic prophecies about how an up-and-coming band is going to take over the world and becoming the biggest thing since __________? Here goes: PS I Love You is going to be Canada’s next indie sensation. I mean, the band is already on its way. But after the debut LP, Meet Me at the Muster Station, is released on October 5, this shit is going to seriously blow up. – Chipped Hip

From the record comes “2012,” which is a terrific introduction to their vaguely dissonant, distortion-blasted, and insatiably catchy style. Saulnier’s vocals are abrasive and passionate, providing a great foil for guitar licks that sound kind of like Cursive’s Domestica run through the pop ringer. – Prefix
