Former Spoons and Honeymoon Suite keyboardist, Rob Preuss has whipped up a sizzling summer banger for Canadian synth band, Church of Trees!

It's Over (ft Heather Brazeau) mixes a touch of British New Romantic with a hint of 80's Spoons, all deftly wrapped in ABC-style production.

Off their latest album release, Transience, It's Over may have listeners thinking it's another 'bad relationship' song but, in fact, it's a comment on the state of the world.

"I was interested in penning something that sounded like one thing but is, in fact, about something completely different" says CoT songwriter, Bernard Frazer.

"But there's no one left to say goodbye
no one, cause it's over, yes it's over
There's no time to hide
No time for lovers
Because it's over, it's over"

Beautifully sung by Church of Trees' powerhouse vocalist Heather Brazeau (Pet Sematary, Where Is Love), "It's Over" pulsates with a high-powered beat as Rob Preuss' patented pianos and synths cut through like diamonds.

The It's Over single officially drops Friday July 12 on most streaming services.

Sandy Horne ( bass, vocals) and Gord Deppe ( guitar vocals) are two of the most under-rated and best players in Canadian music history.

Being the only band in Canada that Nile Rogers chose to produce an album and EP is history-making enough but to continue a 40-year career by releasing a new record that speaks to their growth as musicians and a band; still relevant to their fans and making new fans worldwide is pretty cool.

I am from Montreal, where while at Chom-FM, I played every Spoons record ever made and the Quebec audience loved them. The latest offering from The Spoons features their best collection of songs since "Arias and Symphony".

Full of hooks, cool fun tunes and great production by Sandy's husband Jeff, if you were ever a Spoons fan you will not be disappointed but pleasantly surprised by the songs and production.

In 1980, Gordon Deppe and Sandy Horne made Spoons a different kind of household word...

They would help define the sound of pop and new wave in the 80s with hits including “Nova Heart”, “Romantic Traffic”, “Old Emotions” and “Tell No Lies." Their album Arias & Symphonies would go on to be named one of the 20 Most Influential Albums of The 80s by The Chart Magazine, and their song “Nova Heart” was recently included in Bob Mersereau's book The Top 100 Canadian Singles.

Not bad for a bunch of kids from Burlington, Ontario.

And now, evoking all the fun of their most notorious ear-gems of hits, their newest 12-track missive lands the band firmly in 2019. 

Starting off strong with the signature Spoons sound fans new and never-waning come for, the opening song “All The Wrong Things (In The Right Places)” is set and ready for instant anthem status. Trivia buffs will want to know: its final mix was a collaborative campaign after an online contest had listeners nation-wide submit chants to be mixed into the song’s chorus.
