New Canadiana :: Babysitter – Tape V

It’s no secret. The shadowy lizard government pulling the strings behind Weird Canada HQ is fully brainwashed by Babysitter’s revolutionary rhetoric. The fifth chapter in their ever-evolving saga of sub-island urban wastoids is a fully realized dogma of red-lined rock absurdity. With western flair they drive through 60s mellow with surprising seriousness, espousing their living word in trinkets as clear as “I’m riding on a plane / a real astral plane“. The blend of rural-rock, 90s hair-pop, and completely burnt punk has never been weirder, as tracks like “be cool” and “sex pet” rip asunder fledging notions of genre. A serious favorite in the nation of fringe. GRIP AND GET FREE.

New Canadiana :: La Part Maudite // Dios Mio! – Our Balls Are Like Dead Suns EP // Leçon practique d’hypnotisme

POTT 004 est au-delà de toute description. Chaque face révèle les travaux d’un groupe qui repousse les limites du genre, de la musique, et même du son. Dios Mio, en utilisant une guitare, un clavicorde, un theremin et un magnétophone à bobines crée la bande sonore pour un film qui n’existe pas. C’est le 115ième cauchemar de Franz Anton Mesmer. Sur la seconde face, La Part Maudite crée cet espèce assez rare — une fusion agéable à écouter. Il se produit une synthèse qui emprunte également au thrash-punk et au jazz. Imprimé en édition limitée, ceci est une cassette qu’il faut gripper immédiatement.

Video :: Jesuslesfilles // The Peelies – Á demain // Medication

Jesuslesfilles // The Peelies
Á demain // Medication
[Directed By: Phil Console]
Montreal, QC
::web/visuals::


From the intellipop of: Michael Deane:
Jesuslesfilles bring Metz to Montreal, infusing blown ’90s college-guitar-rock with sing-along thumping psych-pop-punk. Weirdly infecting vocals earworm their way into your being — popping, pulsing and breaking into off-kilter patterns of inspired intellipop vocals. The Peelies pick up on the softer side, mingling fuzzy guitars, warped riffs and pronounced, staccatotized vox; spitting sweetness on top of the scuzz. This tune brings Back To The Future-basics, introducing naïve pop to garage-punkitude and rock ‘n roll’s go-go-ing playfulness. These bands meet in the middle of excellence, matching each other’s influences and energy in a constructive complement. A seamless two-song teaser for the upcoming split from Planet of the Tapes.

New Canadiana :: Markus Floats – Untitled

Markus Floats
Untitled
(Dream Sequence)
Montreal, QC

From the train of thought of Jarrett Samson:
For the first release on Planet of the Tapes’ 3″ CD offshoot, Dream Sequence, Silver Dapple bassist Markus Lake delivers a two-song chiller seemingly designed to accompany riding public transit alone at 3 a.m. “GrownDown” begins with the sound of undistinguishable voice and movement before receding into a single shimmering drone, in turn melting into minimalist electronic radar, mirroring the opening. “One Take 3, take 33″ comes on as a lullaby guitar orchestra, layering leads one over the other in a harmonic yet chaotic arrangement. One couldn’t find a more appropriate start to a project known as Dream Sequence. Good night…

Review :: Silver Dapple / Les Beyond – White Door By Carl

Silver Dapple / Les Beyond
White Door By Carl
(Planet of the Tapes)
Montreal, QC
::web/sounds::


From the white doors of Aaron Levin:
Two Albertans find each other in Montreal during a French class while an ex-Shearing Pinx member embarks on a solo project of ambient processed guitar and French language learning. Unexpectedly, the two groups, Silver Dapple and Les Beyond (respectively), share the sides of a brilliant c10 that forges the hidden links between 90s femme-pop and cerebral guitar work-outs. Silver Dapple inject their pop mastery into the hidden teenager scheming within your mind-sphere while Les Beyond thwarts your tomfoolery with twilight mellowtude. All of this accomplished in under 20 minutes care-of Montreal’s latest addition to the cassette scene, Planet of the Tapes.
