New Canadiana :: Smoki Tygr – Cybrtygr

Smoki Tygr - Cybrtygr
Smoki Tygr (a.k.a. Smoky Tiger) was sent on a mission to follow the gospel of our holy prophets and save the rest of Manitoba, the prairies, and possibly North America. Meanwhile, he’s fighting with copyright laws for the good and entertainment of the common person, leading an ornery crowd in a sing-a-long and making them roll around in laughter, incapacitated. Finally, after a long bout of crime fighting, at some drinking establishment or art space, he sings our Canadiana lessons. Yes, ‘tis nothing but a peaceful day here in the greater Manitoba area, thanks to Smoki Tygr and his robotic companion.

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

Dixies Death Pool - The Man With Flowering Hands
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 :: Catbag – Creamweaving

Catbag
Creamweaving
(Claire Dragon Records)
Halifax, NS
::web/sounds::


From the cream weaver of Aaron Levin:
Apocalyptica within Halifax’s midnight Tiki bar. Your math professor is wailing on a saxophone while the pulsing flares of cosmic debris pierce the midnight sky. Sweaty palms grip the last vestige of a shattered harbour. Shells. You sip fruit loops from a half-back crab bowl; sour flashes of crustaceous laced sugar cubes course through your glands, sifting through your intestine. The droning, violent saxophone and battered drums usher the completion of digestion; unwilling to push forward within the rolling, thunderous bass. Languish. Until the waves of post-millennia nu-lounge tether you to oblivion. OBEY.

Review :: Makeout Videotape – Eating Like a Kid

Makeout Videotape
Eating Like a Kid
(Self Released)
Vancouver, BC
::web/sounds::


From the pocketed mesh-back of Aaron Levin:
It’s our future babylon: yuppies and junkies coagulating to celebrate their mutant post-human hedonism. And in some grande irony, the lounge-garage stylings of Makeout Videotape will part every velvet curtain to entertain the new world’s last taste of love; vocalist Mac DeMarco’s million-dollar smile and soaring croons calming their insatiable desires. Eating Like a Kid is a mesmerizing departure from Makeout Videotape’s onslaught of red-line garage-punk; the hooks are intelligently buried while its melodies leave traces and flashbacks to Mac’s ageless smile. If there is love in the future it’s the sudden realization that they are speaking to us and as we turn around from our slot-machines, cocaine, sex, pizza, and peep shows – as we turn from our epicurean lives – we will see Mac smiling and know: death is all right so long as someone is singing. Mac’s golden voice is floating atop rivers of reverberating guitars, sailing Makeout Videotape into this new future America and we’re all on board.
