New Canadiana :: Depatterning – The Blasted Health

Depatterning - The Blasted Health
From the monstrous constellation of Jesse Locke:
Wist Rec.’s clever Book Report series earns a crackling, bubbling 3” CD soundtrack from prairie elder label chief Gary Mentanko. The stately soundwaves coaxed through the ether of H.P. Lovecraft’s 1927 tome spew forth from the disk tray with m-Log outerspacials, disembodied radio plays and guttural gurgles from the belly of the bog. A cherished grip for literati and object fetishists alike.

New Canadiana :: White Dog Family Band – Escape the Mystery II

From the munchkin motorik of Taylor Burgess:
Chris Jaax, the patriarch of Winnipeg’s noise scene, is also the patriarch of the White Dog Family Band. More motorik than mere mortals, his eight-year-old munchkin Magnus meanly rocks the mic, mocking music as you know it. You’ll be thrust headfirst into hypnotheraphy through this cassette, the final White Dog release and one of his easiest on the ears. Obey the mountainous composition and its ganja man “de-mix” version on the flip to escape all mysterious matter into hyper-awareness of the meaningful mendacity of your senses. White Dog, what is your secret?

Departures :: Lightdreams – Islands in Space

  • Lightdreams
  • Islands in Space
  • (Self Released)
  • Victoria, BC
  • Originally Released: 1981
From the spacial colonization of Aaron Levin:
As I begin my journey east I have begun reflecting upon the westward strangers whose lysergic testaments have shaped my own vision. Paul Marcano, with his ode to a future bursting with space colonies and solar winds, is first in mind. Recorded in his secluded studio outside Victoria, BC, Islands in Space is a testament to the forward-thinking creative consciousness existing within the New Age cosmos. Ragged guitar, searing leads, layered vocals, and dense electronics synthesize Islands in Space into one of the great psychedelic canons of the north. As an experience that begs meditation and continuous listening, I challenge readers to take a dive into Paul’s universe. Islands in Space is a pre-cursor to Lightdreams’ tape-only release 10,001 Dreams.

New Canadiana :: Kyle Bobby Dunn – Ways of Meaning

From the canonized canyon of Jesse Locke:
Kyle Bobby Dunn makes morose music for candlelit shivers in a craggy mountain cave, as the wind howls at your back and you wonder how you’ve ended up there. It’s lonely, sure, yet there’s a clandestine quality of wistful nostalgia shimmering in marshmallow focus within his snail’s pace ambience, making you believe you’ll return home one day. Live performances are rare, yet this talented sound-sculptor maintains a recording pace on par with Old Faithful. DRIFT.

New Canadiana :: Élément Kuuda – Flight 2

From the flight simulator of Jesse Locke:
When he’s not busy blasting out wasted summer megahits, Montreal’s Christian Richer lifts off into his primary plane of milky way mellow. The dazzling sequel to last year’s Flight features two new sidelong synthscapes, both transcending background sound to shimmer on your front burner. “Exosphere” gurgles like an infant extraterrestrial in a playpen made of moonbeams, while “Gravitating Capsule” casts twinkling lights to illuminate celestial bottlenose. Come sail away.

New Canadiana :: Mark Templeton – Scotch Heart

From the guru static of Aaron Levin:
Drags of electrostatic enigma fluctuate on the periphery of Scotch Heart. Mark Templeton’s latest offering is a dense mass of ambient exhortation. Throughout the short c20, melodies wither into quad-screwed chorals laced with an endless, undulating current of drones, static, and processed lullabies. The sweat lodge appropriately recommends listening in total immersion. Blissfully gripped!

Video :: ARCSECONDS – Astronauts [dir. Moduli TV]

From the astro-pop sounds of Aaron Levin:
Moduli TV, the videophonic arm of Hobo Cult Records, has been pumping out eye-piercing visual manipulations at an astounding rate; fifty videos (and counting) in the last nine months, an average of almost two videos a week. Their latest, for Calgary-artist ARCSECONDS, transcends the beat-up betamax manipulation, mutating the moon-lading granular into electronic waves of cosmic debris. The trip is a brilliant match to the ascending harrow of “Astronauts,” whose mellow genesis gradually descends into ambient revelations.

New Canadiana :: No UFO’s – Mind Control

From Ohrian dance of Aaron Levin:
No UFO’s gestating modular reflections continue to mount the impressive fortress of ambient perfection. Radiating from the disturbing lair of Winnipeg’s Dub Ditch Picnic, their latest magnetic phenomenon is a heavy slug of new age perturbations. Phased distortions of aberrant horns cruise into arpeggiated abandon, parting synthetic waters for a new cult of electron. Side two digs deeper into the sub-90s consciousness, grinding our sensors with a heady cut-up of Fingers-esque clurb bangers. Totally and unequivocally rad.

New Canadiana :: Markus Floats – Untitled

Markus Floats
Untitled
(Dream Sequence)
Montreal, QC
::web/sounds::


From the train of thought of Jarrett Samson:
For the first release on Planet of the Tapes’ 3″ CD offshoot, Dream Sequence, Silver Dapple bassist Markus Lake delivers a two-song chiller seemingly designed to accompany riding public transit alone at 3 a.m. “GrownDown” begins with the sound of undistinguishable voice and movement before receding into a single shimmering drone, in turn melting into minimalist electronic radar, mirroring the opening. “One Take 3, take 33″ comes on as a lullaby guitar orchestra, layering leads one over the other in a harmonic yet chaotic arrangement. One couldn’t find a more appropriate start to a project known as Dream Sequence. Good night…

New Canadiana :: Alex Durlak – Rural Route No. 4

Alex Durlak
Rural Route No. 4
(Standard Form)
Toronto, ON
::web/sounds::


From the rural nodes of Aaron Levin:
Alex Durlak’s submission to Standard Form‘s 3″ MiniCD Rural Route series is a heavy, heavy, heavy transmigration into the shearing heights of processed guitar. Alex takes every fibernetic mode to a synthetic extreme, processing this single-take improvisation through a jungle of granular synth patches to produce the dense, meditative excursion. Recorded at the tail end of a bleak Canadian winter, this is as deep as it gets. Wonderfully packaged in the eco-friendly, non-glue fold-out. Heavy grippage.
