New Canadiana :: Puke Eyes – Puke Eyes

Red Masstermind Choyce delivers a triple-gulp of pavement pizza with wildman drummer Edouard Laroque on this abdominal assault of improv-psych splatter. Whether tearing into chainsaw riffs or veering into a nomadic void, Satan’s van never stops a-rockin’. As a clincher, “Museum of Death” hands the megaphone to gonzo poet Richard Ritalin for a tale of ritual evil à la “The Gift.” Beurk!

New Canadiana :: Various Artists – Visage Musique Vol. 1

Various Artists - Visage Musique Vol. 1
Wipe that icy sweat off your brow and vogue like a vampire. Visage Musique’s late 2011 salvo sends out a coldwave of shimmering shivers with minimal emotion and maximum satisfaction, spanning the label’s extended family, WC fave Femminielli and a fresh cast of freaks. Black light aerobics and arena anthems pump it up like Pavel Bure while the witching hour survivors get their kicks. G to the RIP.

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.

New Canadiana :: Lantern // The Ether – Lantern // The Ether

Lantern and The Ether Split Cassette Cover
Lantern’s burning proto-punk and wah-wah workouts provide a much needed headbang session to strengthen those aging neck tendons. Their cover of this trashcan anthem further proves the cutting-edge theory that silverface fuzz blows away synth-banjo, any day. Meanwhile, The Ether’s destructo-wave ripples into black holes, a dense mass constantly on the verge of implosion. Here and there, a sparse guitar lead escapes the confines, a split-second before the void pulls you back head first into its crushing fury. Must grip!

Tournée Banale :: Tournée Banale Avant-Garde 7 & 8

We’re blowing out the last two episodes of AIDS Wolf‘s venture in tour banality with a double-shotgun blast of inanity. Moskos explores European tour cuisine, a bouncy-castle paradise, and a new age toilet before plotting Drainolith‘s 700th tour. The inane vibes are summarized brilliantly by Episode 8′s exploration of an ant infestation within Chloe’s sugar. It’s a beautiful closure to the wolf’s Europen journey through documentary vérité. Perched high upon our digital chalice we implore those outside the 100-sided die to heed our message: bring us your banality and we shall broadcast it to the world.

PS – This incredible feature would not have been possible without the hard work of Alex Moskos and AIDS Wolf. Thank you so much.

New Canadiana :: Dan Foley – Fredonne Noël

Après trop de semaines de jingles des fêtes sans arrêt, Dan Foley perd la boule et régurgite son mal de cœur de son ton le plus morose. Un late night à fredonner tête à tête avec GarageBand, un malaise monotone qui fait frémir, tout comme les conversations ennuyantes avec grande-tante au cours des jours à venir. Joyeuses fêtes, les weirdos!

New Canadiana :: The Brabazons – Cling On b/w Ma Babby

Montreal’s storied scriptures of garage rock sass find its latest disciples with this smirking fuzz-punk trio. “Cling On” lurches to a start amidst raspberry blasts of guitar, Manzarek organ and lock-step drums before settling into the brand of smashed groove you’d hear pumping from the DJ booth at L’esco. “Ma Babby” ups the hook ‘n’ tackle factor even further with a deluge of pedal effects, tempo shifts and howling monkey vox. Stuff this in your stocking and smoke it.

New Canadiana :: Dirty Beaches // Ela Orleans – Double Feature

Canada’s prime officer of cool meets England’s queen (of baroque pop), sibling solo sculptors of static foggy goodness. Dirty Beaches’ Badlands b-sides find a home here, living through Super 8 memories and dissolving time into slow swaying cigarette smoke. A strung out cinematic soundtrack for a long overnight train ride.

New Canadiana :: Prime Cuts – Prime Cuts Hammond Ri

Hammond Ri - Prime Cuts
The simplest sandwich can be a delicacy in the right hands. So it is with Prime Cuts. Synthesist Nick’s aqueous tones conjure up Mile End Machu Picchus while drummer Riley masters the art of percussion-as-hook, stretching across the sky with single bars of rhythm from your favorite Sub-Saharan freedom fighter cassette. But what really grabs the heart are the chanted Zen laments for undergrad living: “Nothing is working/I wish I were surfing/Lonely in college.”

New Canadiana :: Shaker Hymns – Dub Sawyer EP

Shaker Hymns - Dub Sawyer EP
Imagine following that silly rabbit down a hole and never finding the bottom. A soundtrack to your descent may sound frightening but in fact, after about two minutes of free falling, a sense of peace licks your brain and you forget what it feels like to keep two feet on the ground. Shaker Hymns whoop and flip chords to penetrate typical guitar riffs for the ultimate in desert spy movie darkness. A voice squelches from behind a dune but the bass ‘n’ drums are your canteen of agua. Lifesavers in a strange place that leave you afraid but intrigued. A plane in the sky writes a message that reads: “keep going”.
