In 2006, Toronto-based Broken Social Scene performed 7⁄4 (Shoreline) on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. 7⁄4 indicates the complex time signature of the composition. By listening closely to the drums, one can count out the seven beats. In addition to that, there is a half-beat pause before the accented cymbal, on the seventh beat. The musicians are counting: | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 | - which is also revealed by the drum pattern.
Feist fans will be able to recognize the vocals of band member Leslie Feist, who is currently signed with a major label.
