The Old Soul was a Canadian indie rock band formed in 2003 in Toronto. The ensemble was founded and led by Luca Maoloni, initially as a solo project. They perform an eclectic variety of instruments and styles, with critics drawing comparisons with Broken Social Scene the Polyphonic Spree. In Torontonian circles, they are known for live lyrical and musical variations on album standards.

History

Maoloni studied piano at The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, and went on to complete a degree in Music Theory and Composition at the University of Western Ontario. In 1988 he completed aMusic Industry Arts collegiate degree in recording. Prior to The Old Soul, he was a member of Hollowphonic and White Star Line.

The self-titled debut album was released in 2004 (and reissued two years later by Universal), and followed in 2006 with She's Got Party Davis Eyes. Third album Gold was released in 2007.
