New Canadiana :: Femminielli – Carte blanche aux désirs

  • Femminielli
  • Carte blanche aux désirs
  • (Los Discos Enfantasmes)
  • Montreal, QC
  • ::web/sounds::
From the softcore erotica of Jesse Locke:
Under the blinding stage lights, Carte blanche aux désirs illuminates Bernardino Femminielli’s complete transformation from levitating shaman to the sexiest man in subterranean show biz. Whether whispering, commanding or crooning in his signature lusty leer, Femminielli’s vocals follow in the Gainsbourg tradition of aged lechery set against an alien chorus and skin-chilling space-scape of pulsating synths. It’s the soundtrack to a future softcore erotica permeating the now thanks to Montreal’s newest tape label, Los Discos Enfantasmes.

New Canadiana :: Deadhorse – Deadhorse

From the pentatonic reverence of Mark Teo:
Wedged in the purgatory between stations on the AM dial, Deadhorse’s ghostly Canadiana inhabits the interstitial gaps between smokehouses and smoke lodges. Celestine space waltzes (“Interstellar Remedies”) spike the punch of pissed-up blues stompers (“Glam Central” and the Jello Bia-fried “Big Blew Sky”), while “I’m a Lawyer” jitters like “Baba O’Riley”, were it an incantation to the open skies. Throughout, co-vocalists Jen Crighton and Danny Vescarelli weave Rigellian tapestries in pentatonic reverence that, somehow, avoids Crazy Horse Pentecostalism. Call it a collision of Calgary past and present, but this much is clear: Deadhorse understands that roots are meant to grow.

New Canadiana :: Bulldog Skin – Blue EP

From the steady doggin’ it of Aaron Levin:
Searing glam-pop encrusted in the gritty ooze of Toronto’s cold-hearted concrete labyrinth. Mired in trebbly four-track cassette moves, the bleary power-pop magyk ensconced inside Blue punctures every aural orifice with impressive jabs of catch. It’s a timeless summer crib for slackers seeking refuge from the hurly burly whirling within the centre of the world. Hand-painted covers for the extra grip factor.

To Live and Die in LA

After losing my car in a Chinatown parking lot and receiving an impromptu studio interview on KPFK, I’m feeling a bit Judgement Night. Thankfully, no rap-rock is anywhere near my eardrums, but, unfortunately, the whirling Canadian underground shall not bestow itself upon this page until tomorrow.

Yours in LA,

Aaron Levin

Searchlight :: We Are Northernly

We won. This is not a small victory. This is a leap through hyperspace into a new world order where fringe reigns supreme. We’ve received the golden nod; the sphinx posed a riddle and you answered. And as our ragged lizard government grants clemency to the wyld sinusoids burrowing within all of us, it is time to acknowledge your monumental role.

You made this happen. This is our moment. And well shall never forget.

Hearts,

Aaron Levin
Weird Canada

PS – There shall be no posts today. Today we nap. And on the weekend we rise again. There shall be many polemics. And even more exaltation of Canada’s underground.

New Canadiana :: OmmaCobba – Police Man b/w Up & Run

From the secret police of Aaron Levin:
It’s been a year since I received a humble e-mail from OmmaCobba containing a soft-focus view into the paranormal meanderings of an ex-OmonRa marijuana ensemble. Finally, languishing within my grip is a cassingle dripping in organ-driven low-end and dazzling rhythm. With a lysergic drawl that engulfs a fantastic journey through trans-planar mellow, OmmaCobba tweak you into a new wavelength of future-hippie regalia. All of it tightly packaged in a silk-screened cassingle care of Craft Singles. GRIP.

New Canadiana :: GIGAS – Tied Down to the Ones You Love

From the bonded lurv of Aaron Levin:
With unprecedented strokes of pop hyperbole, GIGAS’ lazer love show is a prophetic vision of our micro-mall future. Only a roaming pack of teens soaked in the tainted innocence of a ouija-board romance could conjure such divine pressure waves; blown-out casio digitalia, cardinal vocal swaths, and a fantastic deus ex drum machina driving every track straight through your heart. Wrap your wounds in their twilight gauze and dance the death away beneath the hidden rapture of a Kate Bushian groove.

New Canadiana :: Makeout Videotape – Ying Yang

From the cough cloud Jesse Locke:
Draped in the gauze of reverb reverie and soft-focus mid-fi production, Makeout Videotape bring an ace combination of songwriting and sonics on their debut cassette from Totally Disconnected. Between easy-bouncing groovers, tie-loosening crooners and the dreamy drone of “Brian” (drifting through a cough cloud from the Black Sabbath bong stem), these strapping young lads prove themselves capable of mastering whatever style they see fit. Take a spin on Ying Yang and pretend the snow has already thawed.

New Canadiana :: Various Artists – Khyber Compilation

  • Various Artists
  • Khyber Compilation
  • (Self Released)
  • Halifax, NS
  • ::web/sounds::
From the steady doggin’ it of Aaron Levin:
Halifax’s premier fringe-art playhouse has pulled together a mammoth compilation capturing the recent wave of do-it-with-everyone artists roaming the Haligonian landscape. Where other cities devolve into scene sectarianism, Halifax bursts with cross-genre vigor, laying the streetwork for steadfast artifacts like the Khyber Compilation. Similar in spirit to the Emergency Room comp., Khyber wins for the sheer spread of pressure-waves; from the red-lined raw-fi of Fuck Montreal to the casio-blown R&B of Pastoralia, it seems that every buckeyed freak managed to explode with colour beneath the Khyber’s magnificent arches. Includes many new-jacks to the scene, too! Proceeds from the tape go to future renovations at the Khyber. Bands included: Cousins, Soaking Up Jagged, Fresh Flesh, Special Noise, Cactus Flower, It Kills, Secret Colours, Fuck Montreal, DUZHEKNEW, Bloodhouse, Trash Heap, Play Guitar, Mean Wind, Bad Vibrations, Datacave, CROSSS, Catbag, The Rhythm Method, and Pastoralia.
