They released their album We Are an Empire, My Dear on January 27, 2009 in Canada on their own label Night Danger.
The group met while undergrad students at Mount Allison University, in Sackville, New Brunswick, however the group members are natives of several provinces, including New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec.
The band released its debut EP, Vacation Land, in 2004. They subsequently signed to Emm Gryner's Dead Daisy Records, and released their full-length debut album, The Coast Is Clear, in early 2006. The Coast Is Clear was produced by Warne Livesey and the band, and has garnered airplay on CBC Radio 3 and Halifax rock station Q104.
The band toured across Canada in the spring of 2006 to support both recordings, and completed a tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland in the fall of the same year. They recently completed a Canadian tour with fellow rock band Raising the Fawn from October 25–November 24, 2006. It was their second tour across Canada with Raising the Fawn.

The award-winning video for "Coast Is Clear" was released in 2006 and received regular play on Muchmusic and MuchMoreMusic in Canada. It was directed by Drew Lightfoot and filmed on the south shore of Nova Scotia.

Library Voices is a ten piece pop collective from Regina, Saskatchewan. Blending tremolo soaked guitars with analog synths, vintage organs, circuit bent electronics, accordion, saxophone, strings, theremin, Tenori-on, and glockenspiel, their songs play out like an AM radio jingle; mixing the best of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and today.
Since forming in spring of 2008, the group has operated at a feverish pace. They’ve been heralded by SPIN as an “undiscovered band you need to hear now”. They have been featured in The New Yorker. They have shared the stage with Stars, Chad Vangaalen, Plants & Animals, and Blitzen Trapper. They have performed at Sled Island, Regina Folk Festival, WCMA, CMW, and Ness Creek. They’ve received generous airplay on the CBC and BBC, reaching 3 on the Radio 3 charts and breaking the top 30 on Canadian campus radio. They also won a Radio 3 Bucky award, have been mugged twice, and had their van robbed once.
Library Voices debut EP. Hunting Ghosts & Other Collected Shorts, offers a clear and concise introduction to the collective. The groups song writing objectives are evident, bridging sophisticated pop hooks and melodies with complex harmonies and anthemic sing along choruses. Lyrically the album strays from bubblegum, addressing late night escapades, panic attacks, and the construct of home. The record is also laced with pop culture references, including nods to Tom Waits and Evan Dando, as well as contemporary literature notables Paulo Coehlo, Franz Kafka, Milan Kundera, Nick Flynn, and the late Kurt Vonnegut. Hunting Ghosts & Other Collected Shorts was produced by Library Voices and Orion Paradis at SoulSoundStudios in Regina. The studio was constructed in a century old structure that once a Jewish funeral home. The control both had served as the room where bodies were prepared. An inscription still rests above the entrance that translates to “house of truth and loving kindness.”
