Departures :: Do Make Say Think – Demo

  • Do Make Say Think
  • Untitled
  • (Self Released)
  • Toronto, ON
  • Originally Released: 1995-1998?
  • ::web/sounds::
From the Phil-Mode Squad of Christopher Bateman:
Visitors to Weird Canada being thwarted in our direction via CBC Radio 3′s Searchlight contest may very well be aware of celebrated instrumental (decidedly not using the word post)-rock group Do Make Say Think. However, it’s safe to say you’ve never seen or heard this. My bestfriendforlife Phil came across this cassette – a very early DMST demo tape – amid a giant collection of rap 12 inches in a Toronto Sally Anne. The cover art is home-made (decidedly not using the letters DIY), the liner-notes written in pen and 2 of the cassette’s 5 songs have yet to see the light of the Internet until now. Rerecorded versions of the other 3 tracks eventually found their way onto the first DMST album, with one of the more notable differences being a freaky synth-out at either the tail end of “The Fare to Get There” or the beginning of “Disco and Haze”. Grip.

New Canadiana :: False Face – Lifeboat / Bad Coach / I Channel The Animals

From the flesh mask of Jesse Locke:
Kingston’s six-string kill crew burst from the stabbin’ cabin with axes at the ready, soundtracked by the three songs of this hair-raising c10. Sweating through a feverish brand of man-rock on the Albini axis, False Face blur wrists and whip necks in an overdriven bloodbath. Five-minute centerpiece “Bad Coach” is the calm before the shred-storm, amping up in intensity like a slasher clan stalking babe in the woods hitchhikers. If this quickie tape’s any indication of the upcoming LP, prepare to be slayed.

Review :: False Face – I Tried to Think Like Gaboury b/w Less Ambitious Man

False Face
I Tried to Think Like Gaboury b/w Less Ambitious Man
(Self Released)
Kingston, ON
::web/sounds::


From the less ambitious man that is Aaron Levin:
Kingston’s nihilist pop trio returns with another fantastic challenge to the art-rock consortium. Granulized beds of static carry their symphonic pop to unabridged heights, leaving the atonal guitar tomfoolery behind to deliver insane levels of cascading noise. They’ve once again skirted the unwieldily threat of identifiable genre and stayed true to their adjective hyperbole. Kingston, man!

Review :: Gown – The Old Line

Gown - The Old Line Gown
The Old Line
(Divorce Records)
??, NS
::web/sounds::


The Old Line is dense; a desolate bus-ride on the midnight express to nowhere, culminating in the heaviest, trance-inducing psychedelic yogi-chant ever documented. Gown, the solo project of Thurston Moore collaborator Andrew McGregor (now residing in Nova Scotia), is not your paltry foray into distorted minimalism. Having cut the fabric of space-time and emerged as its own cosmic entity, Gown self-assimilates the reverberations of our universe and rebroadcasts them as soundtracks to our imagination’s self-deprecated autobiography. All the reverb-soaked, red-line meanderings underneath Andrew’s atonal murmurs resonate with the basement of our psyche. It’s challenging and absolutely impressive how deep The Old Line penetrates. I’ve spent three days with this record and I’m not yet ready for the world.
