New Canadiana :: Various Artists – The Lemon Tape

Various Artists - The Lemon Tape
From the citric acid flashback of Jesse Locke:
Paisley rays of avant-pop sunshine emanate from this overflowing homage to the Age of Aquarius. Montreal’s best and brightest contribute a tune (or two, or three) under a variety of guises, all filed under psych, cosmic and library music taxonomy. From Brave Radar’s hazy afternoon bliss-outs to JLK’s biker blaze and multiple turns from label founder Christian Richer, this meticulous mixtape is a tie-dye dream come true. All in all, Asaël Robitaille steals the show and proves his secret weapon status with a grip of winners from his various projects. Wake up sucking on a lemon with a grin from ear to ear.

Video :: The Haiduks – Use Up My Time [dir. Moduli TV]

From the time wastidity of Jesse Locke:
Like a third generation DGC Rarities boot melting on Kevin Shields’ dashboard, the debut transmission from Montreal’s Haiduks is the sound of a popsicle turned to sweet, sweet sugar juice. Switching planes from the ambient bliss-out of his primary project, Élément Kuuda, Christian Richer kicks his amp into overdrive with this unstoppably awesome shoegaze pop fist-pumper. The accompanying visuals from Frank “Hobo Cult” Ouellette flick through sun-bleached memories from a found-footage family vacation, serving up a pitch-perfect song/video combo. I want to jump in a lake.

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 :: JLK – Cold City Country

JLK
Cold City Country
(Hobo Cult Records)
Montreal, PQ
::web/sounds::


From the country karaoke of Aaron Levin:
Blown-out wastoid guitaroke from the femme half of Velvet Chrome. Using forgotten country tapes as a back-drop for her destructed guitar explorations, Jane L. Kasowicz croons for the disparate nihilism of urban cowboys. Swirling vocals float above dusted guitar riffs while the steel clamour of JLK’s exploration drills into your psyche. Her western reconnaissance hits hard mid-way through “Shake The Devil Out” and solidifies the experiment as a piece of reverberated genius. SADDLE UP.

Review :: Parallel Pyres – Parallel Pyres

Parallel Pyres
Parallel Pyres
(Self Released)
Montreal, QC
::web/sounds::


From the fast-build of Aaron Levin:
Another Montreal-Beijing connection reigns supreme here at Weird Canada HQ. Parallel Pyres’ self-titled debut is a looping pop fantasy of eccentric panoramas. Busted Casio drums slowly build into a brilliant hooked-filled chaos of repetition that shines through the churning fidelity. The wide palette of pop simplicity will grant heavy doses of play in both sweat dripping basements and Casino lobbies. There is a Hobo Cult connection and it makes a lot of sense.

Review :: PRADADA – Phantasy Visions

PRADADA
Phantasy Visions
(Hobo Cult Records)
Montreal, QC
::web/sounds::


From the phantastic visions of Aaron Levin:
Phantasy Visions commandeers the disturbed ritual-waves emanating from the depths of a cosmic jungle-vortex. Busted drums churn through a minor-key cult-fest that rivals The Pink Noise for its basement-macabre. PRADADA wins by reaching new levels of phantasmic antipathy within the layers of echo and destruction. A disturbing record not for the light of spirit and a certified contender for strangest album of the year. Forward all psychological damage claims to Hobo Cult mainstay Francesco de Gallo.
