New Canadiana :: James Leroy – Distinction

James Leroy
Distinction
(Scotch Tapes)
Lethbridge, AB
::web/sounds::


From the power pop distinction of Jesse Locke:
Since the dawn of the aughts, Lethbridge music mainstay Paul Lawton and songwriting partner JL Hankey have been cranking out infectious little pop tunes under a variety of aliases (James and The Giant, Coruscant, Light Years and James Leroy). The pitch-shifted vox will turn heads first, yet the duo’s tweaked backdrops include everything from slacker jangle to AM radio breeze, canned crowd sounds to Rapture-ous debauchery (when’s the last time you heard that comparison?). Distinction collects the cream of the crop before the pair’s latest project The Ketamines drops its debut LP on Dead Beat Records, plus 7-inches on HoZac, Southpaw and Odd Box.

    I’m not sure how I ended up here, but this post alone has convinced me that you guys are so up my alley. It’s kinda weird, but it’s completely catchy–just the way I like it. Cheers.
