New Canadiana :: Tonstartssbandht – Hymn

Wholly boys, these brothers can shred like angels. So it goes on their new tour tape, Hymn. Kicking it off with “Suzie” and “Jesse,” get excited for a whole lotta love: best classic rock guitar tone EVER, echoed hawk calls, phased drums, and rolling toms. They rise to new levels of godliness with two (plus a hidden) hymns, in which New Agey synths are laced with choir singing and cinematic communication from above. (Am I sensing Purple Rain vibes in “Hymn Our Garden”?) Tonstartssbandht are apparently willing to sacrifice themselves to any genre. Expect their iconic layering and weird chanting but born again and with some psychedelic fuzz. WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE! from the annals of classic and soft rock radio.

Fly, fly, fly, baby, bye, bye, bye.

Edmonton, AB
::WFMU Record Fair::

That is correct. Tomorrow I will get on a Jet Plane and fly to New York City to attend the WFMU Record Fair. Me and my pal $50-Sevier will be splitting a table and I’ll be selling the last copies of CHANDRA and various Weird Canadian stuff I’ve ordered in triplicate, as well as displaying previews of the upcoming Daily Dance reissue on Cantor Records. This means there will be no reviews until November 1st. I will certainly miss you all and I’ll try to update the site with photos of Weird Canada peraphenalia while I’m in New York.

New York readers: Please visit my table at the WFMU Record Fair. I don’t know where it is, but I’m tall and I have a big nose and there will be lots of waxidermy people around.

I’ll be writing you all soon!

Hearts,
