New Canadiana :: Das Amore feat. JLK – Lo sveglio del estasi

Das Amore feat. JLK
Lo sveglio del estasi
(Los Discos Enfantasmes)
Montreal, QC
::web/sounds::

From the disco-limbo contest of Pam Haasen:

To describe Lo sveglio del estasi as “weird” is almost unfair. The subjectiveness of this far-out nightmare turned disco-limbo creates a genre of uncertainty, which is so sexual that I’m afraid I’m the only one who feels this way. I feel naked and awake but in a trance-like state, swaying and bobbing in a slow motion dance alone in Parts Unknown. Das Amore and JLK sound simultaneously natural and synthetic, with drum beats that come from the knocking of a headboard. This trip takes you out of yourself for the shortest half hour of your life and drops you off wanting to ride again.

New Canadiana :: Gold Zebra – Debut EP

Gold Zebra
Debut EP
(Self Released)
Montreal, PQ
::web/sounds::

From the plaster lights of Aaron Levin:
Categorical mellow-burner worth it for the aptly-named nine-minute arpeggiating shredder “Trans Desert.” Steady synth tones weave through the heavy drum machines to deliver an italo banger dripping in sleepless sex-talk. Julie’s strangely French-accented sexual whispers are uncomfortably addictive and work in tandem with the disco-desert theme to hasten the untimely arrival of our fluorescent future. Limited to 50 copies. Grip.

… This Week In **Space …
COSMETICS
Vancouver, BC
File-Under: Cosmic minimal disco
::web/sounds::

OK, I apologize for not posting a review yesterday. I was too busy trying to see Lethbridge’s weird-science-punk marvella Endangered Ape, Calgary’s what-is-going-on-in-that-city Hunter Gatherer, and hobo power-popper Nobunny. All of this spread over two venues and many hours. Endangered Ape and Hunter Gatherer will be coming very soon to a Weird Canada nearest you.

In the meantime I’ll posted my latest **Space obsession. Maybe I’ll even start a “This Week in **Space” for those great bands that don’t have releases yet.
