New Canadiana :: Bird World – No Wonder

Bird World
No Wonder
(Self Released)
Halifax, NS
::web/sounds::


From the wondrous forms of Aaron Levin:
A dreamy, psychedelic gauze wraps Bird World’s debut into a crunching bundle of 90s excursions. The soaring vocal hooks and burning guitars flutter around strange pop-psych flirtations, cultivating a bewildering anti-genre of catchiness. Sinusoids of this calibre originate from only one source: Halifax. Bonus points for being Long, Long, Long-related. Spectacular cover art, so grip with the quickness.

Departures :: King-Beezz – Found and Lost b/w Now

King-Beezz
Found and Lost b/w Now
(Quality)
Edmonton, AB
Originally Released: 1966


From the Lost and Found of Aaron Levin:
The King-Beezz’s third single is the toughest polyvinyl artifact from Edmonton. “Now”‘s snarling, wrangled guitar leads, put-me-down harmonies, and screaming, postured ad-libs trash every punk archetype in the purest teenage pursuit of attitude. On the A-Side, “Found and Lost”‘s jangly, loner lament, bass-walkery and bedroom percussion craft a brilliant bizarro pop-psych excursion into the recesses of vintage fringe culture. Just ridiculous stuff. ‘Twas the bees-knees (!) finding a copy complete with the glorious Quality company sleeve. A full history of the King-Beezz can be found here.

Reverberations :: Flash Palace – Some Misinterpreted Sunsets

Flash Palace
Some Misinterpreted Sunsets
(Mayan Chorus)
Vancouver, BC
::web/sounds::


From the flashing teenage fantasies of Aaron Levin:
Brilliant genre-pollination from this out-of-left-field Vancouver quartet. Their highly visceral pressure waves ooze a strange hybridized pop-psych with flashes of electro digitalia and sampledelic cut-ups. The blotted magnetic threads of Flash Palace’s debut tape are filled with this phenomenal pilgrimage into pomo-pop principalia and has me excited beyond most hyperbolic means. A voyeuristic adventure into a genre-less future. GRIP÷0.

Departure :: Jack Hennig and The Breaking Point Group – Busy People b/w Maybe Tomorrow

Jack Hennig and The Breaking Point Group
Busy People b/w Maybe Tomorrow
(Cupid Records)
Edmonton, AB
Originally Released: 196?


From the breaking point of Aaron Levin:
Obscure lyrsergic artifact from the totally unpsychedelic pastures of 60s Edmonton, Alberta. Jack Hennig’s second foray into the world of self-released 7″ obscurity left us with two syrupy, drug-induced pop-psych laments. Maybe Tomorrow‘s classic garage-punk woes pull the untamed ears to oblivion while the faux-sitar and pop harmonies on Busy People win me over with vintage diy conviction. Jack Hennig would go on to be a country singer of national renown and now resides in Edmonton having forgotten almost everything about his hip-trip maneuvers with The Breaking Point Group.
