Tenderness - The Axe Is Ready At The Tree
  • Tenderness
  • The Axe Is Ready At The Tree
  • (Self Released)
  • Toronto, ON
  • ::web/sounds::
From the grace under fire of Jesse Locke:
Free-floating memories of Sunday morning devotionals merge with the holy ghost of Ann Peebles on this earth-rattling rave-up in the name of. Fresh to def with instantaneous heft and a front-to-back set of unshakeable tunes, Chrissy Reichert’s pitch (and paradigm) shifted bangers twist up Tranzac avant-squawk with dusted brother ‘No C’ Zukerman, including feline sound effects guaranteed to freak out your cats. Tenderness could be 2012’s sonic salvation. Get ur grip on.

New Canadiana :: THOMAS – Janela

From the divine celebration of Aaron Levin:
Janela burns eternal; an outlier within the data-set of cosmic dance musik. Layers of its breath carry our spirits, buoyed by waves of emotional grace. Each listening a ceremony; a christening for THOMAS’ ascension. Every song a Eucharist; a celebration for the last feast of genre. And each movement brimming with quanta of popular majesty, shimmering in sync by the union of the jazz. It is heaven. It is joy. It is love. Janela is our last supper. And our revelation. Join hands, minds, and hearts with your neighbour as our spirits dance with ecclesiastical smoothness into the heavens of rhythm and bass.

New Canadiana :: Babysitter – Tape V

From the middle class skiddery of Aaron Levin:
It’s no secret. The shadowy lizard government pulling the strings behind Weird Canada HQ is fully brainwashed by Babysitter’s revolutionary rhetoric. The fifth chapter in their ever-evolving saga of sub-island urban wastoids is a fully realized dogma of red-lined rock absurdity. With western flair they drive through 60s mellow with surprising seriousness, espousing their living word in trinkets as clear as “I’m riding on a plane / a real astral plane“. The blend of rural-rock, 90s hair-pop, and completely burnt punk has never been weirder, as tracks like “be cool” and “sex pet” rip asunder fledging notions of genre. A serious favorite in the nation of fringe. GRIP AND GET FREE.

New Canadiana :: Babysitter – Tape III

From the sibling rivalry of Joni Sadler and Aaron Levin:
Babysitting is a rite of passage for many suburban teens, much like drinking covert beer and jamming the Stooges is for many more a rebellious youth. It’s not a stretch to think that the dudes of Babysitter spent their formative years doing just that – listening to beer-drenched shreddery built from minimal beats, lacerating riffs and howling vocals. Thankfully, they play it all with enough recklessness and discipline to make it seem genuinely wild, permeating your mind with brilliant teenage nostalgia.

New Canadiana :: Shearing Pinx – Live Thunder

Shearing Pinx
Live Thunder
(Bruised Tongue)
Vancouver, BC
::web/sounds::


From the living thunder of Joni Sadler:
After last year’s killer Weaponry LP, Shearing Pinx one-up themselves with this live recording from a gig in Thunder Bay. Anyone who’s been lucky enough to witness these Vancouverites tear up a basement on one of their cross-country ventures knows that their live show is a blistering, noisy affair; this tape is a testament to the sheer distorted force that is Shearing Pinx in their element. Choice cuts from Weaponry take on a whole new sense of urgency when they’re drenched in this much grit and fuzz. Get your hands on the tape or better yet – catch the band next time they hit your town and watch this shit go down in real life.

New Canadiana :: GOBBLE GOBBLE – Wrinklecarver b/w Nemo

GOBBLE GOBBLE
Wrinklecarver b/w Nemo
(National Archive of Records)
Edmonton, AB
::web/sounds::


From the neo-fabric of Aaron Levin:
Shards of electrostatic brilliance pepper the cover of GOBBLE GOBBLE’s prodigious digi-pop wonder. Their latest 7″, which has permanently littered Weird Canada HQ with a glorious supply of sprinkles, will meld to your subpopconsciousness, becoming the immutable neon barnacle bursting infinite within every spurt of creative marvel. Nothing is more perennial than its majestic polyvinyl form blasting sinusoids at 45 rpm. “Wrinklecarver” is beyond hyperbole. TRIPPGRIP.

SONDE :: Long, Long, Long – Shorts

Long, Long, Long
Shorts
(Self Released)
Halifax, NS
::web/sounds::


From the quantized oscillators of Aaron Levin:
Halifax’s hypernetic double-pop quartet continues to push the limits of catch. This time the eccentric youngians are deep-ear diving in a power-pop tornado, channeling chaotic waves into torrential harmonies and six-string rhythmania. They’re conjuring a vortex of guitar leads with every steadfast listen, so hit play and dance until their magnetic overtow engulfs you.

Review :: Long, Long, Long – Long, Long, Long

Long, Long, Long
Long, Long, Long
(Self Released)
Halifax, NS
::web/sounds::


From the loins, loins, loins of Aaron Levin:
From the ashes of York Redoubt‘s blitzkrieg through Canada’s art-pop continuum, Long, Long, Long have emerged a deliciously sauteed phoenix. More ambitious, weird, angular, and, dare I say, funkier (maybe?) than York Redoubt, Long, Long, Long is a wild continuation of the brilliant stream of pop cognizance festering in Canada’s mathematical east. Long, Long, Long is a marvel of price-per-hook insanity and is brimming with narrative, noise, and every pop sensation known to humankind. I suggest you grip. NOW. A+++(infinity).

Review :: Mess Folk – This is Mess Folk

Mess Folk - This is Mess Folk Mess Folk
This is Mess Folk
(Self Released)
Sydney, NS
::web/sounds::


From the vaguely fluorescent Aaron Levin:
File-under: cassettes blaring from Master Blaster‘s tape-deck while executing a ’64 impala drive-by. So get your leather chaps, crawl on the hood of your mom’s minivan and run drive. Mess Folk has grown into a fierce teenager fighting against Canada’s industrial wasteland (read: Sydney) and unleashing their terrifying Salmagundi of adjective-garbage in the process. It’s scary, chaotic, brutal, and extremely poppy. Every song an anthem for derelict dogs, chimney sweepers, knitting factory women, P.O.Ws, Trotskyists, and any victim of industrial pillaging. This is Mess Folk is the ugly side of capitalism; the underbelly of mutant-punk; the smegmatic 9mm pocket-protecting vomit gun. It’s nine songs of unfuckwittable pain and anguish; an anthemic veneration for the depressed and lonely; the product of a forgotten city, time, and existence. On the East coast everything is missing. But we have this tape. Twelve songs. Every one of them a winner. I told my friend Jazzowita the other day: “the new Mess Folk cassette is good.” He agreed.
