New Canadiana :: Depatterning – The Blasted Health

Depatterning - The Blasted Health
Wist Rec.’s clever Book Report series earns a crackling, bubbling 3” CD soundtrack from prairie elder label chief Gary Mentanko. The stately soundwaves coaxed through the ether of H.P. Lovecraft’s 1927 tome spew forth from the disk tray with m-Log outerspacials, disembodied radio plays and guttural gurgles from the belly of the bog. A cherished grip for literati and object fetishists alike.

New Canadiana :: Shaker Hymns – Dub Sawyer EP

Shaker Hymns - Dub Sawyer EP
Imagine following that silly rabbit down a hole and never finding the bottom. A soundtrack to your descent may sound frightening but in fact, after about two minutes of free falling, a sense of peace licks your brain and you forget what it feels like to keep two feet on the ground. Shaker Hymns whoop and flip chords to penetrate typical guitar riffs for the ultimate in desert spy movie darkness. A voice squelches from behind a dune but the bass ‘n’ drums are your canteen of agua. Lifesavers in a strange place that leave you afraid but intrigued. A plane in the sky writes a message that reads: “keep going”.

New Canadiana :: Indigenous Nudes – Cleaning Up For Al

Tech Supporters Nicholas and Cheddle channel all thoughts of “kill roommate” into buzz, wind, fire, distortion and incantations. Indigenous Nudes play with heat guns as séance sounds churn from their guts; writhing a full-term demon baby from underwater delivery through the annals of time/space. Cheddle’s glasnost lingers in the box on the floor that reads “fragile” while ichola scoops up broken glass to throw at anyone who gets too close. To listen is to watch a candle burn with the TV on while mother bakes rotted mincemeat pies and calls from a distance that dinner’s ready.

New Canadiana :: Bitter Fictions – Looper Pedal Blues

Revelling in the unabashed pleasures of record collection rock, alt-weekly barnstormer and vinyl slinging stalwart Devin Friesen has hit a stride with his effects-laden solo flight. Looper Pedal Blues is one of two new cassettes from Friesen’s own Gerogerigegege-inspired imprint, pairing epic instrumental fuzz-outs and guitar-damaged confessionals abuzz with post-SY hookery. We love the jams and the jams run free.

New Canadiana :: Duchess Says – In a Fung Day T!

Machete-cut chunks sliced straight out of the post-punk ether, Duchess Says reiterate their whirlwind shrieks and jabbing throbs, rousing your tendons into unconditional muscular praise. Join the noise-wave church of switchblade synths and bass bullies, their tortures involving dissonant Moog squelches, sweaty mosh pits, frantic dancefloors and a few slower songs. Oh, and of course everything singer Annie-Claude hurls at you.

New Canadiana :: White Dog Family Band – Escape the Mystery II

Chris Jaax, the patriarch of Winnipeg’s noise scene, is also the patriarch of the White Dog Family Band. More motorik than mere mortals, his eight-year-old munchkin Magnus meanly rocks the mic, mocking music as you know it. You’ll be thrust headfirst into hypnotheraphy through this cassette, the final White Dog release and one of his easiest on the ears. Obey the mountainous composition and its ganja man “de-mix” version on the flip to escape all mysterious matter into hyper-awareness of the meaningful mendacity of your senses. White Dog, what is your secret?

New Canadiana :: ManyMental Mistakes – Trois

Music to weld to. I can accomplish many things whilst listening to Trois, such as rebuilding a motor, base-jumping or scrambling the shit outta eggs. Let ManyMental Mistakes take you over the edge of reason. Come screaming down from Mount Royal and fear no wrath, for you are a titan of the urban jungle with a battle-axe to shred and bleed onto. If MMM is your conscience, listen and run, jump, stab, flail, surf and Kill Kill Kill. Faster, Pussycat! You can’t outrun the devil forever but you can beat him at his own game.

New Canadiana :: Jom Comyn – Sunstroke EP

Mentioned before are the utterances and inspirations one communicates through simple habitation of an isolated, brutalist centre like Edmonton. Pleasantly mercurial, Jom Comyn’s disparate croonerism makes us venture not waaaaaaay up, but way in; another rural-reared summation of despair, darkness, love and family. Sunstroke fuses steady melody (“Hatchet in the Garage”), sharp-toned proggy instrumentation (“Heatstroke”) and neighbourly back-up; all of course lathed with that familiar subtly of Jim Cuming’s monochromatic vocals. Wherever your tiny existence rests each night, remember to collect dust, soak up the eternal cold and take heed of your surroundings.

New Canadiana :: Chief Thundercloud – June Street

A collected batch of strung out six string slumps, some barely audible and some blown-out noisy, sewn together to give a rough impression of Chief Thundercloud’s inner demons. At times so very close and personal, it feels like listening in through a door crack to your roommate playing silently. Side A holds 19 short originals and the B side is 12 surprising, hollowed-out cover songs, ranging from the Spice Girls to CCR to the most uncool, anti-wanker version of Freebird ever recorded.

New Canadiana :: istagamble! – Which House?

Wedding hip-pop beats to the screams of mortally wounded modems, itsagamble! is the arbiter of an arranged marriage (“Do you, fried circuit board, take this fat beat…?”) that has blossomed into love. Leaving behind flora and fauna, Rob Ross chronicles the mating rituals of robots: the tentative caress of electrons across a breadboard, melodrama chopped then screwed to a wall of electromagnetic interference (“Baby Maker”), and slow jamming (“Fox”) that builds breakbeats out of sex-chimes, all glazed in Kraftwerkian synth flavours. Which House? hops valences quicker than a supercharged particle but keeps it somewhere within the sphere drum’n'bass’n'saw wave’n'laser’n'I could go on… Tin foil chewers, bite down on this.
