New Canadiana :: The Cable-Knits – Twins

The Cable-Knits - Twins
From the pre-burner afterthought of Jesse Locke:
Calgary’s Cable-knits play summery skate jams for when you got dumped by your brace-faced teenage girlfriend and just want to bust a boneless into the pool. Knotty threads of guitar drive the duo’s junk-fi pop into a swift set of sugar rush head-boppers. Turns out Stalwart Sons plus Hunter Gatherer equals hook city.

New Canadiana :: Bataille Solaire – Baal Shamash et Son Char Céleste

Bataille Solaire - Baal Shamash et Son Char Céleste
From the histoire de l’oeil of Jesse Locke:
Asäel Robitaille drifted listeners into an earthbound psych-pop lull on The Lemon Tape, but on this solo expedition he fires up the thrusters into uncharted space. Time-shifting arpeggios and soft comets of synth create a vessel for his sidelong explorations, seamlessly flowing from one zone to the next. Montreal main-stay Félix Morel contributes a perfectly tripped collage for the foldout, part Mati Klarwein and part Barbarella. A+ all around.

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.

Tournée Banale :: Dirty Beaches – On The Road To God Knows Where 2

  • Dirty Beaches
  • On The Road To
  • God Knows Where 2
  • [Dir. By: Alex Zhang Hungtai]
  • (European Tour 2012)
  • ::web/visuals::
From the dangerous liaisons of Jesse Locke:
For the past six weeks, my life flipped from Weird Canada editor to Dirty Beaches drummer/driver on a motorik expedition through Europe. The montage above (filmed by Alex Zhang Hungtai on iPhone’s 8mm video app, ‘natch) gives a glimpse into the 23 hours we spent each day in-between shows, including white knuckle mountain drives, parking lot slow dances, basement bro tats in Copenhagen, behind-the-scenes footage from a food blog in Belgium, sexy wallpaper in Rotterdam, and a potentially NSFW truck-stop washroom purchase. Meanwhile, the soundtrack provides snippets of our in-car listening: Alice Coltrane, Liaisons Dangereuses, Mac DeMarco, a Nick Cave audiobook, etc. Big ups to Elias, Jakob, Etienne, multiple Chrises, Francesco, Line, Edda, Brando, Michael, Yann, Tess, Tara, and anyone else who made this tour a blast. Viva Europa!

New Canadiana :: Matthew A. Wilkinson – sSs EP

Matthew A. Wilkinson - sSs EP
  • Matthew A. Wilkinson
  • sSs EP
  • (Self Released)
  • Grand Prairie, AB
  • ::web/sounds::
From the magnetic fields of Jesse Locke:
Quick as a cricket, Grand Prairie’s holiest warbler zaps us through the post with his latest enchantment. The sSs EP picks up right where the spellbinding Namers left off, spiraling into black echoes for a series of cinematic miniatures, scraped strings, plucked banjos and touched electronics. The creeping horror culminates in “Cen eTe neR”, a nine-minute scorched earth awakening of cooing kitties and the post-rock dawn of its “secret song.” Discover Alberta.

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 :: Puke Eyes – Puke Eyes

From the tonsil toss of Jesse Locke:
Red Masstermind Choyce delivers a triple-gulp of pavement pizza with wildman drummer Edouard Laroque on this abdominal assault of improv-psych splatter. Whether tearing into chainsaw riffs or veering into a nomadic void, Satan’s van never stops a-rockin’. As a clincher, “Museum of Death” hands the megaphone to gonzo poet Richard Ritalin for a tale of ritual evil à la “The Gift.” Beurk!

New Canadiana :: Various Artists – Visage Musique Vol. 1

Various Artists - Visage Musique Vol. 1
From the stone cold of Jesse Locke:
Wipe that icy sweat off your brow and vogue like a vampire. Visage Musique’s late 2011 salvo sends out a coldwave of shimmering shivers with minimal emotion and maximum satisfaction, spanning the label’s extended family, WC fave Femminielli and a fresh cast of freaks. Black light aerobics and arena anthems pump it up like Pavel Bure while the witching hour survivors get their kicks. G to the RIP.

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.

Tenderness - The Axe Is Ready At The Tree
  • Tenderness
  • The Axe Is Ready At The Tree
  • (Self Released)
  • Toronto, ON
  • ::web/sounds::
From the grace under fire of Jesse Locke:
Free-floating memories of Sunday morning devotionals merge with the holy ghost of Ann Peebles on this earth-rattling rave-up in the name of. Fresh to def with instantaneous heft and a front-to-back set of unshakeable tunes, Chrissy Reichert’s pitch (and paradigm) shifted bangers twist up Tranzac avant-squawk with dusted brother ‘No C’ Zukerman, including feline sound effects guaranteed to freak out your cats. Tenderness could be 2012’s sonic salvation. Get ur grip on.
