New Canadiana :: Apollo Ghosts – Money Has No Heart

From the ultra koolness of Paul Lawton:
To quote the press release, this single is “an homage to the Vancouver punk scene circa 2007-2010… i.e. a post-30 interpretation of Nu Sensae/B-Lines/Chris-a-riffic… an allegiance to the Nanaimo 4-track scene and Lethbridge garage.” The new wave of adjective-punk has arrived folks — post-adjective-punk, or perhaps more fittingly, subjectivity-punk; the end result of talented individuals swimming in the ocean of access, filtering music like baleen whales filter krill. Success in this new musical epoch will require talented people (people like Apollo Ghost’s Adrian Teacher) to actually do something creative with all of this excess. It’s not even December and I will already declare this the best 7” to come out in 2011. Impossibly good musics.

New Canadiana :: Various Artists – Bloodstains Across British Columbia

From the park-side rippery of Aaron Levin:
In a show of ridiculous viscosity, Mammoth Cave have focused massive gravity waves on the festering Vancouver fringe-punk milieu, condensing their sinusoids into ten bursts of minute-long mayhem. It’s the second in their Bloodstains series of Provincially-minded polaroids capturing this psychotic wave of ADD. Bands include: Nü Sensae, Role Mach, White Lung, Shearing Pinx, AHNA, Shipyards, Needles//Pins, B-Lines, Manic Attracts, Indian Wars, Young Mums, Timecopz, and Student/Teacher. Shred.

New Canadiana :: Aunty Panty – AP EP

  • Aunty Panty
  • AP EP
  • (yo’ mama$ ¢redit ¢ard rekkid$)
  • Saskatoon, SK
  • ::web/sounds::
From the red-ink briefs of Aaron Levin:
Scanner-destroying sans-wave from the antagonizing wastelands of Saskatoon. Aunty Panty’s digital halo debut is a dualic descent into derelict guitar destruction and vocal annihilation. Hammered strikes against their metallic strings clangor amongst the concrete waves of red-lined vocals and four-four drummery. A severe peak into the marginalized sounds running rampant in our wheat-filled prairies.

New Canadiana :: Shearing Pinx – Void White

From the steady doggin’ it of Aaron Levin:
Wrapped in the searing red-line of low-end distortion, the dualic Pinx are entombed for the first time on polyvinyl. Even as a duo, the cavernous cacophony of their sinusoids are preserved; null waves of guitar shreddery percolate every trough and groove while a pounding machine gun fires upon skin-covered cylinders into adjective-oblivion. “Dired-Out” captures their corse ritual with precise dignity, offering two minutes of harsh improv before descending into a swinging western narrative with droning vocals and pulsating guitar rhythms, ushering our frayed minds into a static groove. They. Just. Won’t. Stop. VOID GRIP.

New Canadiana :: Young Santas – BEEN-HUR VHS EP

Young Santas
BEEN-HUR VHS EP
(Self Released)
Edmonton, AB
::web/sounds::


From the chariot riding of Aaron Levin:
Buried within this A-Frames-inspired jaunt through angular hell is a brilliant vocal-morphing of popular magic and succinctly details the brilliant shapes conjured from this post-everything blip on the Edmonton radar. Guitar wrenching, gutteral chortling, and swashes of western abandon litter the EP’s difficult humour, pushed to further limits by the absurd video that accompanies the whole travesty. Awesome.

New Canadiana :: Fist City – Hunting You

Fist City
Hunting You
(Dead Beat Records)
Lethbridge, AB
::web/sounds::


From the meth municipality of Aaron Levin:
The gnarly, driving pop sinusoids of Lethbridge’s Fist City have finally entombed themselves in one eternal polyvinyl groove. Their catch drips in the ecstatic distortion flowing through the Southern Albertan hotbed, but it’s Hunting You‘s torrid leads and dualic vocals that make them a beacon for all things adjective-punk. Well tuned heads will be plugged into their ardent pop sensibilities and otherworldly weirdness, levitating their grey matter to the next level of pop consciousness; a B-Side burner you’ll be playing in the shower, popping on a two-wheeler, and jamming down main street throwing fists and launching space rockets. Quintessential grippage from the small library of beautiful no-field Canadiana.

New Canadiana :: AIDS Wolf – March to the Sea

AIDS Wolf
March to the Sea
(Skin Graft Records)
Montreal, PQ
::web/sounds::


From the rented catholicism of Aaron Levin:
March to the Sea explodes with seven oppressing manifestations of philosophical guitar violence. Crushing armies of viral slot machines channel Chloe’s undulating vocal pandemonium into an ear wrenching death-camp for cosmic noise hippies. Rhythmic death warrants churn this chaos into a miasma smelting your grey matter with fractal impurities. Days later their majestic penetration shall rear its polluted palette with beautiful results. Phenomenal. Canada’s most divisive band? Indeed. Their cover of Throbbing Gristle’s “Very Friendly is devastating. But I’ll save that for future enthusiasm. Until then…

Review :: PIG – Magnetic

PIG
Magnetic
(Campaign For Infinity)
Halifax, NS
::web/sounds::


From the magnetic eyes of Aaron Levin:
Continuing with their general disregard for genre fortification, PIG return with a c26 frothing with ataxic punk and chaotic sludge. After a side of perilous adventures through mires of improvised drones and guitar destruction, the quadro deliver a full blast of 90s doom-punk occultism. Part Altered Beast, part Ghosts and Goblins, Magnetic synthesizes the darkest parts of adjective-punk and coagulates them into an eerie resin of fractured sounds. A rare gift stolen from the hand of Moira. NO CONTINUES. GRIP++

Review :: Shearing Pinx – Weaponry

Shearing Pinx - Weaponry Shearing Pinx
Weaponry
(Divorce Records)
Vancouver, BC
::web/sounds::


The past three years have seen Shearing Pinx focus their creative blasts from harsh noise-punk to decimating experimentalism, tying together streams of sans-wave, noise, 90s-whatever-rock, and experimental every/any/something. Weaponry, Shearing Pinx’s first of two slated albums on Halifax’s Divorce Records, is by far their most meditative release and leaps into the unchartered netherlands of post-ritual druid-wave; ruminating vocals pierce through our cosmetic musical barriers and channel sinusoidal rhythms embedded within searing pleas of release (I’m really trying to convey a feeling I’ve had while listening to this record for the past four days straight and it’s hard). Fourier would be proud as the album converges; inspiring, leading, and transcending national boundaries in an effort to present the world with one the best adjective-punk records of 2009. My highest recommendation.
