New Canadiana :: Drainolith – You Paid For It b/w Deepwater, PA

From the hood jammery of Aaron Levin:
Psychic Handshake digs deep within thee outernet to conjure this 7″ from AIDS Wolf git-hub Alex Moskos. Soaked in a bewildering avant-croonery, “You Paid For It” double-declutches into a ramshackle sinkhole of pinball shreddery, multi-throned oscillators and 8-bit digitalis. This transmigration through polyrhythmic hood jams continue as “Deepwater, PA” devolves into clamouring solos of synthetic marvel. A huge dub-tee-eff from all angles. Grip sic widdit.

New Canadiana :: Yamantaka // Sonic Titan – YT//ST

From the commingling of Aaron Levin:
In an fantastic parade of taxonomic bewilderment, Yamantaka // Sonic Titan obliterate all genre formality by conjuring a liquefaction of musical licentiousness. The self-proclaimed “Noh-Wave” coalesces a transderivational morphology through J-Pop, prog, black metal, Iroquois social songs, Chinese opera, Noh theatre, noise, and hard rock. This trans-cultural orchestra of post-data shreddery is a testament to the limits of human sensation. YT//ST reset the standard for every creative visionary. They’ve put the whole damned system on trial. GRIPPPPPPPP.

Review :: Tonstartssbandht – Midnite Cobras 7″

Tonstartssbandht
Midnite Cobras 7″
(Psychic Handshake)
Montreal, QC
::web/sounds::


From the digital pyramidi of Aaron Levin:
Midnite Cobras is a static departure from Tonstartssbandht’s choralic maximalism. They’ve emerged on Psychic Handshake with a pounding matrix of digimax psychedelia. Tremelodic falsettos soar above driving bass riffs and digital morphisms; a chaotic assemblage of divergent forces pushing diamond-tips to their aural limits. Synthesizers, harmonies, leads, distortion, and tape-warble abound, the brotherly duo file another bewildering disadjectified triumvirate of wave-forms. Do not even question the grip.

Review :: Dead Wife – Dead Wife

Dead Wife
Dead Wife
(Psychic Handshake / No Vacation)
Montreal, QC
::web/sounds::


From the DxWxSxYxHxF of Jesse Locke:
Copping the speed, angst and Xeroxed b&w paste-ups of classic 1980s crust, Dead Wife’s latest 7” hearkens back to the time when a stuttering robot reigned supreme. There’s a healthy dash of Riot Grrrl in their breakneck skuzz as well, and these brats could go toe-to-toe with anyone lurking in East Van’s weirdo punk grotto. Co-released by the always hep Psychic Handshake, newcomers No Vacation and recorded with the help of Choyce from Red Mass, this is a must-grip for the whole family now that Mom is worm food.

Review :: Red Mass – Red Mass

Red Mass - Red Mass Red Mass
Red Mass
(Psychic Handshake)
Montreal, QC
::web/sounds::


In some dank Montreal basement lays a dormant time-machine once used to transport Danzig into an alternate future. Encapsulated in blistering walls of noise, terrifying amounts of vocal delay, and a pulsating bass-line churning the earth below this nether-now, Red Mass channels the greatest parts of Danzig’s baritone insanity into the type of anthemic punk whose mere existence creates time-signatures in our musical cosmos. Thus, there is no point of reference for Red Mass’ debut EP. It is everything all the time at all times, now and into the future. Psychic Handshake really outdid themselves with their second release here, taking a risk on ex-CPC Gangbang‘s Choyce and his 10+ collective comprising Red Mass. And to top it all off, someone is playing a melodica on Terrorizer, one of the most driving rock songs of this decade. The MP3s do not give the low-end on this EP enough justice, so try to find the vinyl. Killer.

Turbo future.

The Wicked Awesomes - Punk Holograms The Wicked Awesomes!
Punk Holograms
(Psychic Handshake)
Edmonton, AB
::web/sounds::

NBA Jam for the Sega Genesis was the second most punk sports game ever (the Mutant League series taking number uno). If you got three dunks in a row some dude yelled out “HE’S ON FIIIIIRE” and you burst into flames and did quad-flip slam-dunks. Weird dunks. Now imagine that basketball player is on fire, wearing fluorescent Nike’s covered in time-shit and crystal-snot, death sunglasses, an 80GB ipod, hens teeth, and a jersey from Nowheresville, Ghost Beach. Take a ramshackle of insane kids in the remote recesses of Edmonton’s hoodlets and have them dedicate an album to this space-streaming-intelligent basketball player and you might come close to the brilliance of The Wicked Awesomes!’s LP debut Punk Holograms. The album lacks any pretense and obeys no boundaries; from burnt puke-garage to psychedelic mizrahi-surf, the red-lights on your stereo will burst with wrecked synth-lines and skirt-chasing guitar-riffery. It’s a beautiful pawnshop display-case of wastoid-punk. Brilliant. Amazing. Fantastic. Wicked. Awesome. A sure-shot contender for best album of 2009 on any continent.
