New Canadiana :: Bad Vibrations // Bloodhouse – Bad Blood

Bad Vibrations // Bloodhouse
Bad Blood
(Brotherhood Cassettes)
Halifax, NS // Halifax, NS

Du mauvais sang et de la maison des vibrations de Benoit Poirier:

D’un côté, Bad Vibrations délaisse quelque peu le power-pop-punk tordu qui caractérisait son premier maxi pour s’exposer la flanelle sur un sentier cagneux de fuzz mélancolique, de tambours itératifs et de voix éthérées et dit « allo » au grunge c88-90 d’un air à la fois triste et fâché, parce que le grunge c’est compliqué. De l’autre, Bloodhouse se magne le punk, amincit son mur du son pour laisser passer plus de fun dans son psych-garage et incite sérieusement au tapage de pied jusqu’à ce que ça saigne, entre un John Dwyer d’avant et un de maintenant. Halifax l’a, l’affaire.

From the melancholic fuzz of Benoit Poirier:
On one side, Bad Vibrations turn their twisted power-pop-punk down a little bit to show off their flannel shirts on a bumpy trail of melancholic fuzz, iterative drums and ethereal voices. They say “hi” to c88-90 grunge with a look both sad and angry at once, because grunge is tough. On the other, Bloodhouse turn the punk up, making their wall of sound thinner to let more fun into the psych-garage. They compel you to until-it-bleeds foot-stompin’, halfway between a John Dwyer of then and now. Halifax shines again.

New Canadiana :: Various Artists – Khyber Compilation

Various Artists
Khyber Compilation
(Self Released)
Halifax, NS
::web/sounds::

From the steady doggin’ it of Aaron Levin:

Halifax’s premier fringe-art playhouse has pulled together a mammoth compilation capturing the recent wave of do-it-with-everyone artists roaming the Haligonian landscape. Where other cities devolve into scene sectarianism, Halifax bursts with cross-genre vigor, laying the streetwork for steadfast artifacts like the Khyber Compilation. Similar in spirit to the Emergency Room comp., Khyber wins for the sheer spread of pressure-waves; from the red-lined raw-fi of Fuck Montreal to the casio-blown R&B of Pastoralia, it seems that every buckeyed freak managed to explode with colour beneath the Khyber’s magnificent arches. Includes many new-jacks to the scene, too! Proceeds from the tape go to future renovations at the Khyber. Bands included: Cousins, Soaking Up Jagged, Fresh Flesh, Special Noise, Cactus Flower, It Kills, Secret Colours, Fuck Montreal, DUZHEKNEW, Bloodhouse, Trash Heap, Play Guitar, Mean Wind, Bad Vibrations, Datacave, CROSSS, Catbag, The Rhythm Method, and Pastoralia.

New Canadiana :: Secret Colours – Blackest Blackest

Secret Colours
Blackest Blackest
(Brotherhood Cassettes)
Halifax, NS
::web/sounds::

From the blackest black of Aaron Levin:
Totally washed-out cultic vibrations beam from every inch of Secret Colours’ magnetic debut. It’s the perfect weirdo basemental projection radiating from the brightest fields of cassette culture; blankets of ethereal synth, tape-warbled choralic vocals, and Tresvant sensitive low-end. From the brilliant mind of Evan Cardwell. Double grip!
