Young Galaxy was an indie pop/dream pop band formed in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 2005 by Stephen Ramsay and Catherine McCandless. The duo, escaping the confines of their previous musical ventures, sought to carve out their own niche within the Canadian music landscape. Young Galaxy's ethereal soundscapes coupled with evocative lyricism has earned them a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim within the indie music scene. Their lush, often synth-powered arrangements are a blend of enigmatic melodies and layered textures that bridge the ethereal with the approachable.

Over the years, Young Galaxy's sound evolved, incorporating a diverse array of electronic and organic elements. Following their self-titled debut in 2007, they saw a steady stream of releases leading up to their final album, "Down Time," in 2018. Albums like "Ultramarine" and "Falsework," along with singles such as "Ready to Shine" and "Were You Ever a Dreamer?", showcase the band’s commitment to pushing their creative boundaries while maintaining a distinctive, immersive sound. "Down Time" served as a self-reflective work, marking a turning point as the band ventured into the realm of independent artistry, free from the traditional label system. As Young Galaxy announced their hiatus, they left behind a legacy of introspective pop that challenges the listener to dream and delve into the depths of their sonic universe.
