New Canadiana :: Each Other – Taking Trips

Each Other - Taking Trips
The boys of Long have taken another extravagant excursion into progressive pop. Their lysergic sequencing of addictive time signatures reaches an all-time high on Taking Trips, as their heroin leads throw us deep into their opium sanctuary. While we dream along their subtle-island vibes, the slow churning fabric of our pop reality begins to fragment, buckling under weight of Each Other’s glorious clamour. Crucial grip.

New Canadiana :: Claudio – Long Weekend

Claudio - Long Weekend
This new supra formation of fringeward minds takes a slice of sleaze from Man Made Hill and channels his sexual purity through a classic electro lens. Claudio sees our favorite synth-funk predator fuzed with Bennifer‘s Jacob Harwood, a pairing of extravagant space and narrative that grants Long Weekend solice amongst rare instrumental jammers of its calibre. Guaranteed to jack your Radioshack™ speakers and sizzle the chromium dioxide plating their groove. Lovingly packaged in a die-cut J-Card and produced for maximum dance-floor overdrive by Brandon Hocura.

New Canadiana :: Elsa – (1)

Elsa - (1)
Between the blanketed 90s vibez lurks a definitive mellow eschewed by these Toronto mysteries. Layered guitars glide along powdery tracks paved by staccato bass and infinite drum machinery, making it too easy to whirl endlessly within their chorus of liquid vox. Quite frankly, the dub see has never been softer.

New Canadiana :: Not The Wind, Not The Flag – Esoteric Cycle

Not The Wind, Not The Flag - Esoteric Cycle
As categorical explorations within our unified consciousness, Not The Wind, Not The Flag encompass the simple liquidity languishing within cultural disharmony. Mellow meditations arise with the conjuring of their euphoric harmonies, and the entangled clamor of strings and kalimba oscillate with sublime frequency between free jazz and private issue new age. A glorious grip of the next age.

New Canadiana :: Self Surgery – Psychedelic Cadaver

Self Surgery - Psychedelic Cadaver
If your parent’s parents were terrified by the satanic vibes emanating from backward playing records, they best stay away from Psychedelic Cadaver all together. The hiss sticking to the back of your throat may cause discomfort, but the feedback drowns your ear in micro-waves that erase all memories of silence. It’s music for people who love airports mixed with Chalupa and cigarettes. This album is what’s under your car in the parking garage and leering at you from the window as you baby sit. Cry if you want, but the demons will never rest.

New Canadiana :: F Hood – Gloomy Labyrinth

F Hood - Gloomy Labyrinth
This is a diary entry from my cousin’s recollection of her first acid trip. I think it applies here:
Crying will do no good. I am on the brink of everything. Tears well up and overwhelming joy tingles through my body like a hacky sack teeming with ants and funny bones. Moving my fingers is the most graceful thing in the world and a stream underneath IT ALL sends a wake that my brain can wind surf on. I’m laughing now like I’ve been hypnotized and my memory is in shock. I wish my hair was a little longer, though.

New Canadiana :: The Pink Noise – White Buildings

Minimal snaps and snips of the crash and burn generation are captured in this dimension, as songs heard in the underground dance clubs of Orwell’s 1984. We feel the bleak disgust of Mark Sauner’s mind, but he refuses to step it back. This is as classy as he’ll get, back alley hustler, smoke screen. On “Garden Times”, you know he’s trying to show you the way, but you don’t get it. And you never will—this is his nightmare. Broken and torn in two, needing an escape that isn’t possible. The end of the world already happened, and this is the soundtrack.

New Canadiana :: Escapists – HPPD Island

Escapists - HDDP Island
Swaddling their inaugural cassette in a surgical glove cocoon, Montreal’s newest modular synth and electronics power duo scramble brains like Ramsay does eggs. The inspired mind-meld of Frank “Hobo” De Gallo and Jesse “Meat Parade” Osborne-Lanthier oozes from ear to ear with effervescent washes, high-pitched squeaks and interplanetary gabber in a post-space-rave chillout room. The totemic objects encased within offer a time capsule from the year 2046. O.R. They?

New Canadiana :: Rhythm of Cruelty – Demo

Rhythm of Cruelty - Demo
Skulking through distilled collages of glassy dreams are two lovers basking in high/low downstroke flanges and the beguiling hypnoses of analog motorik. Re-envisioning the heavier aural tropes of past projects, they tear down an oft-aped distinction to construct unencumbered bricks-and-mortar post-punk. Rhythm of Cruelty is a beautiful trashy-dash of battleship grey upon a black and white world.

New Canadiana :: Sean Nicholas Savage – Flamingo

Sean Nicholas Savage - Flamingo
If small town fairs were hip to the culture of cheap thrills and cheese appeal that speaks to my inner child, I’d hear Flamingo on the tinny speakers beside my head while I wait in line for elephant ears and ride vouchers. Sean Savage is calmer and quieter here than I’ve known him to be. These are vaguely erotic hand-holding and ferris-wheel-secret-telling songs. I want to win the big bear prize for my gal and make promises to her while the sun sets. Lovely meets funny as Sean trills, woos and oohs you.
