New Canadiana :: Actual Water – Latoya b/w Latoya (A Cappella Mix)

Actual Water return with flourishing pop familiarity. A veritable anthem for teen lovers (and burnt, middle-aged adults yearning for a sip from the fountain of popular youth), “Latoya” is an instance source of vibronic sensation, driving romantic conviction through your ectoplasm into the eternal core of your quad-valve palpitator. Steady twelve-string madness, insatiable marimba, and a hilariously rad back-up vocal bonanza complete the ridiculously summery attitude, granting this fifth lathe the title of “infinite jam.”

New Canadiana :: Bruised Knees – Badwater & Holy See’s Horror

Yet another face-melting insertion within the Scotch Tapes and Young Guv lathe series. Two slabs of soylent plastic were necessary to capture the wikked vibrations emerging from Toronto’s Bruised Knees. Eerie, synthetic mellowtones are sandwiched between cultic clamor and shattering shimmer, spinning psychedelic sinusoids around our sonic horizon. The Huckleberry influence runs deep within the wincing metal and triplic drummery; thud, thud, thud, thud, burn burn burn burn. What else lay dorment in Guv’s lair? Grip before the patina groweth.

New Canadiana :: Young Governor – Pizza Face

Young Governor
Pizza Face
(Scotch Tapes)
Toronto, ON
::web/sounds::


From the ate too many chocolate bars of Aaron Levin:
Young Governor soars to anthemic heights on this six minute post-pizza buffet. Its jangly rhythm bursts with gusto, jamming the radio glam treachery of cult heros into a reverb-soaked elucidation. This day-time special is crafted for all your teenage fantasies; let it seep into your pores and shake the foundation of your pubescent ethos. A fantastic voyage into 80s pop-punk anthemy. Hand-cut lathe on “pizza glass” by Scotch Tapes. Sounds rad at both speeds. Eat it up!

Review :: Huckleberry Friends – Testing

Huckleberry Friends
Testing
(Scotch Tapes)
Toronto, ON
::web/sounds::


From the 6.5″ pink flexi of Aaron Levin:
The inaugural 6.5″ fluorescent flesh of Scotch Tapes and Young Guv‘s Lathe Cut Series is a gothic reconnaissance into the arcane marshes of numinous folk-garage. The first 90 seconds of Testing begin the mystic ceremonies of your private mind garden before launching into a fury of tribal magyks and recondite rhythms. It’s a brilliant realignment of the English folk tradition into the disparate, atonal now; an arduous ceremony cut on a 6.5″ slab of pink plastic and limited to 50 copies. Highly recommended.
