<b>From the diocese of <u><a href="http://weirdcanada.com" target="_blank">Aaron Levin</a></u></b>:<br />
On (possibly) their last release, PiG drill into a heady mix of miscreant-skiddery and <u><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nt-efRpjlQ" target="_blank"><i>Lorca</i></a></u>-era Tim Buckley. It&#8217;s sundown at the crest of oblivion and PiG remain defiant, twisting the threads of their home-brewed, basement psychedelia for your voyeuristic pleasure. Their spastic death-punk has fermented into an outerworld sonomoly; a dialectic entombed by Matt Samways&#8217; fearless <u><a href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/review-view.aspx?id=7560" target="_blank">mantra</a></u>. &#8220;Tragic Venus&#8221;&#8216; piercing bass and shimmering clamour populate your neural pathways with the lysergic elements required to process the droning &#8220;Imminent Deity.&#8221; This new, indivisible sound is surrounded with &#8220;Outro&#8221;&#8216;s industrial racket and solidifies their shrine within Canada&#8217;s fringe vortex. PiG remain a huge inspiration for Weird Canada. For that, and so much more, we will miss them dearly. XOXOGRIPXOXO.<br />

From the wispy ashes of <u><a href="http://www.numerogroup.com/catalog_detail.php?uid=00329" target="_blank">guitar soli’s</a></u> earthic remains, Bronze Leaf’s lysergic embers warm our minds to the emerging angles within acid folk.

Armed with guitars, delay pedals, and looping mechanicals, Bronze Leaf joins the new wave of psychedelic folk artists transcending Canada into the bewildering nether-zone of fringe success.

<b>From the acidic archives of <u><a href="http://weirdcanada.com" target="_blank">Aaron Levin</a></u></b>:<br />
The Acid Archives is the definitive guide to North America&#8217;s musical underground. In succinct and thrilling prose (from which Weird Canada took much inspiration) an entire generation (1965-1982) of diy and minor-to-major-label long-playing visionaries across all boundaries are captured and documented. Scattered within the 5,000+ reviews of fringe-psych curiosities lies the ultimate guide to the Canadian underground. From <u><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDXaGe-b6Ak" target="_blank">Aaron Space</a></u> to <u><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3zBr57cYl0&#038;feature=related" target="_blank">Warpig</a></u>, <u><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIKchScHPRc" target="_blank">Bent Wind</a></u> to <u><a href="http://waxidermy.com/lost-john-lyle-and-the-lonesome-ornery-polecasts-bootleg-powerhead/" target="_blank">John Lyle</a></u>, and <u><a href="http://jeremydormouse.com/" target="_blank">Jeremy Doremouse</a></u> to <u><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX3Q6lhjKi8" target="_blank">Christmas</a></u>, the Acid Archives enshrines vintage Canada&#8217;s unique indie soundscape. It&#8217;s a crucial document of vintage Canadiana and a must own for anyone remotely interested in the indie culture of yore. I estimate approximately 400 reviews of archaic Canadiana. The 2nd Edition is a welcomed improvement on the black-and-white original; 400 colour pages, 1,000 additional reviews, essays and the fan-favorite top-ten lists. There are two <u><a href="http://weirdcanada.com/?attachment_id=4462" rel="attachment wp-att-4462" target="_blank">Weird Canada references</a></u> in the book; if you can find them I&#8217;ll send you an LP reviewed in the archive. An exciting and phenomenal read. If you&#8217;re on this website, you should own this book.</p>

<b>From the seductive text of <u><a href="http://www.chuo.fm/" target="_blank">Joni Sadler</a></u></b>:<br />
After playing in numerous Ottawa bands over the past decade, Mark Alexander McIntyre has finally gone and released a solo record. As it turns out, <i>Situs Inversus Totalis</i> was worth the wait: McIntyre’s slow-burn <u><a href="http://lysergia_2.tripod.com/lamaInterviewDigIt.htm" target="_blank">acid folk</a></u> possesses a unique and eerie sense of timelessness that is rare in so much of the music being produced today. Waves of queasy feedback stand in nice contrast to simple acoustic guitar and sparse vocals, and the whole record &#8211; right down to its plain cardboard sleeve and Xeroxed liner notes &#8211; remains nicely <u><a href="http://www.discogs.com/John-Bender-Plaster-Falling/release/597528" target="_blank">minimal in style</a></u>. Ultimately, McIntyre channels the influences of sonic bros like Greg Ashley and Sir Richard Bishop through a haze of druggy sadness so damn well that all we’re left wondering is why it took him so bloody long to make a solo album in the first place.<br />

<b>From the Russian imports of <a href="http://www.weirdcanada.com" target="_blank"><u>Aaron Levin</a></u></b>:<br />
These two Russian hippie-bros emigrate to Ontario and release an album celebrating the pastoral scenery of their new home. With thick, stilted <u><a href="http://totemsongs.blogspot.com/2008/10/brazda-brothers-brazda-brothers-1973.html" target="_blank">Ruskie accents</a></u> and strange instruments (Cordovox?) they weaved twelve streams of folk-rock textures in dedication to our unique landscape. Their foreign perspective is the album&#8217;s greatest strength; take their journey and visualize the vast industrial heartland through outside, lysergic eyes. The resulting innocence, both serene and moving, place the Brazda Brothers alongside other nationalized fringe-folk canon whose trails into uncharted territory shaped our anomalous soundscape (<u><a href="http://tyme-machine.blogspot.com/2009/09/riverson-riverson-canada-1973.html" target="_blank">Riverson</a></u>, <a href="http://www.lionproductions.org/all.html#PTARMIGAN" target="_blank"><u>Ptarmigan</a></u>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perth_County_Conspiracy" target="_blank"><u>PCC</a></u>, etc). The band claims that 5,000 copies were pressed but the number of known copies states otherwise. Released on a budget label concerned mostly with fiddle and children LPs. I flipped my lid when I found a sealed copy of this!<br />
