Review :: False Face – I Tried to Think Like Gaboury b/w Less Ambitious Man

False Face
I Tried to Think Like Gaboury b/w Less Ambitious Man
(Self Released)
Kingston, ON
::web/sounds::

From the less ambitious man that is Aaron Levin:
Kingston’s nihilist pop trio returns with another fantastic challenge to the art-rock consortium. Granulized beds of static carry their symphonic pop to unabridged heights, leaving the atonal guitar tomfoolery behind to deliver insane levels of cascading noise. They’ve once again skirted the unwieldily threat of identifiable genre and stayed true to their adjective hyperbole. Kingston, man!

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).
