Jakalope took its name from the mythical jackalope, and it was the brainchild of Dave "Rave" Ogilvie, a Canadian industrial musician and producer best known for his studio work with Skinny Puppy, David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson. He started the group in 2003, and what he made with it was a surprise: indie pop and rock, dark around the edges but built on melody rather than menace.
It Dreams, from 2004, is glossy and moody, with Katie Biever in the early lineup and Sean Stubbs on drums and electronic kit, and "Feel It" and "Pretty Life" hum with the dark sheen of a producer who knows his way around a mixing desk. What really spread the word was television: their song opened Degrassi: The Next Generation from season 4 through season 7, and the band's popularity grew with it.
