Review by Johnny Black, first appeared in Hi Fi News.
Described as 'an independent rock collective from Calgary, Alberta', Woodpigeon enjoyed considerable acclaim for their first three albums and this one certainly deserves more of the same. When Woodpigeon rev up, as they do on Children Should Be Seen And Not Heard, they can display a visceral, primitive rock consciousness, but mostly they're operating in the sensitive singer-songwriter vein dictated by founder Mark Andrew Hamilton's delicately-wrought songs and his fondness for clever, often classically inspired arrangements and unusual sonic textures. Those who enjoy Arcade Fire or Fleet Foxes will find much to cherish in Woodpigeon's strange little world.
