New Canadiana :: Moonwood – River Ghosts

Moonwood - River Ghosts
From the choleric woes of Aaron Levin and Jesse Locke:
Borne on the fever dreams of aquatic explorers, Moonwood journey fringeward through the fourth underworld. Their mesmerizing pursuit of exotic minimalism is peppered with gourd flutes, lap harps and ekatantari to give their forlorn excursions final entry within nature’s infinite drone. Music for water borne disease, indeed. Clear-blue vinyl for the pure of grip.

New Canadiana :: Escapists – HPPD Island

Escapists - HDDP Island
  • Escapists
  • HPPD Island
  • (Hobo Cult)
  • Montreal, QC
  • ::web/sounds::
From the archipelago of Jesse Locke:
Swaddling their inaugural cassette in a surgical glove cocoon, Montreal’s newest modular synth and electronics power duo scramble brains like Ramsay does eggs. The inspired mind-meld of Frank “Hobo” De Gallo and Jesse “Meat Parade” Osborne-Lanthier oozes from ear to ear with effervescent washes, high-pitched squeaks and interplanetary gabber in a post-space-rave chillout room. The totemic objects encased within offer a time capsule from the year 2046. O.R. They?

New Canadiana :: Au Vol – Apothecary

Au Vol - Apothecary
  • Au Vol
  • Apothecary
  • (Self Released)
  • Thunder Bay, ON // Ottawa, ON
  • ::web/sounds::
From the twisted Messendres of Aaron Levin:
Canada’s cantankerous centrifuge (read: Thunder Bay) births another industrial mammoth. Rolling in throws of topological warble and droning magnificence, Au Vol soaks the diligent mind in patterns of pseudorandom bliss. Apothecary is not without its minimal ambience, bringing a truer vision into the audio dialog coursing through the Canadian Shield.

New Canadiana :: Dixie’s Death Pool – The Man With Flowering Hands

Dixies Death Pool - The Man With Flowering Hands
From the wilting wisps of Jesse Locke:
Shuffling and smiling through a moon-hung Ren. Faire when the dandelion wine has kicked in for the minstrels, electroacoustic jazzbo Lee Hutzulak dips into that crazy river. Tucked underneath his faded poncho, the twinkle-eyed lifeguard of Dixie’s Death Pool unleashes a squadron of steam punk arachnids to undertake his mystical bidding. Rev up your electric flute, grab a Mackie Blackjack and get jiggy.

New Canadiana :: Bitter Fictions – Looper Pedal Blues

  • Bitter Fictions
  • Looper Pedal Blues
  • (This Is Shaking Box Music)
  • Calgary, AB
  • ::web/sounds::
From the strange nerves of Jesse Locke:
Revelling in the unabashed pleasures of record collection rock, alt-weekly barnstormer and vinyl slinging stalwart Devin Friesen has hit a stride with his effects-laden solo flight. Looper Pedal Blues is one of two new cassettes from Friesen’s own Gerogerigegege-inspired imprint, pairing epic instrumental fuzz-outs and guitar-damaged confessionals abuzz with post-SY hookery. We love the jams and the jams run free.

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?

New Canadiana :: Velvet Chrome – Hall of Mirrors

From the toxic concoction of Jesse Locke:
Just in time for tour, Frank Hobo and the infamous guitar shredder JLK drop this CD (remember those?) of haunted ramblings down the dustbowl backroads. As Velvet Chrome, the power couple combines sensibilities to create a toxic concoction of No Wave skree and ugly Americana laced with hits from the cosmic blotter. Though the majority of these workouts are propelled by primitive drum beats and detuned six-string strategies, seven-minute drifter “Glass Maze” is a primarily vocal-based drone, and closer “Miles Away” is one of the most beautiful pieces of Motorik bliss this side of Neu! 75. A merch table must.

New Canadiana :: AHNA – AHNA

AHNA
AHNA
(Soldier Pumps // Broadway to Boundary)
Vancouver, BC
::web/sounds::


From the cult of Aaron Levin:
In the valley between post-apocalyptic nihilism and ritual suicide resides a devastating sonic philosophy bred for mental undoing. Push the needle into AHNA’s polyvinyl debut and let this doomic celebration course through your mental veins. As the threads of fybre binding your consciousness burn away, AHNA’s desolate bellowing will forge new paths within the fermented entrails of your guttural chaos. Sip the froth of your own undoing and relinquish AHNA’s morose gin. \m/GRIP\m/

Music :: Mongst – Kamira

Mongst
Kamira
(Isolated Now Waves (INW 226))
Vancouver, BC
::web/sounds::


From the genital fusion of Aaron Levin:
Kamira sees Mongst traversing the dualic streams of Glassian multi-part ambience and melanic guitar exertion; both avenues percolating his soundscape with dialectical conviction. Let the hypnotic minimalia of “Or Does It Explode” take your mind through a 12 minute trip into ancient ambient pastures, climaxing with a heavy dose of tranquil string dronage. The whole passage seems serene when compared to “The Riverboard Caroline”‘s avant-occult shreddery, and thankfully the contradictions don’t stop there. A brilliant strip of experimentalia from one of Vancouver’s finest.

Music :: White Dog – White Dog

White Dog
White Dog
(Prairie Fire Tapes)
Edmonton, AB
::web/sounds::


From the dogless white of Jesse Locke:
Barking at the moon from the heart of middle Canada, White Dog’s Chris Jacques doubles as the co-founder of Prairie Fire Tapes and its off branch Dub Ditch Picnic. This four-song c30 is the latest ear-clot from his ambient/drone project, and finds Jacques in a meditative mood while maintaining trademark murk. Following three storm and stress instrumental creepers, the clear culmination is closer “A Forest”. Here, haunted vocal samples sink into plaintive acoustic plucks, mystical wind chimes and ominous horror movie hums for a spirit animal ceremony that’s both mesmerizing and mysterious.
