Exclaim.ca premieres long-lost video for MISPLACED →
Almost a year after it was shot, we recently unearthed our video for Misplaced from our 2010 album, No Ghost. It was shot in late-February in Sandbanks Provincial Park by Graham Rapsey.

Enjoy! rk

Thank god for @spaikin. Have been hearing of shit like that going on all afternoon but, of course, is not being reported on.
Just passed 1,000,000 scrobbles on last.fm! That seems like a lot to me, so thanks anybody who chipped in. Humbling, to say the least.
#earthquake in Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal. Acorn members live in Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal. Coincidence?
