New Canadiana :: Bloodshot Bill – Thunder & Lightning

Bloodshot Bill has the speed and old country rhythm of a steam locomotive, with the voice of a smoking straw boss crying for that old moon on a dark and lonely street. His vocals echo in between the legs of every woman who hears him while their soda jerks hold on tighter to keep them from slinging bras and roses. Elvis by way of death-growl peppered with bee-boppa-boppa is the music you can’t sit down and listen to. Take your bongo beatin’ baby to a sock hop, or just to park. Rinse. Repeat.

New Canadiana :: Lantern – Deliver Me From Nowhere…

Lantern, c’est le duo Zachary Fairbrother et Emily Robb, deux expatriés canadiens partis vers la Ville de l’Amour Fraternel. Mais pardieu, brisons-nous vraiment les règles de Weird Canada ? Oui, peut-être, mais ils ont encore leur passeports canadiens. Aussi faut-il savoir que cette première cassette est trop savoureuse pour rester silencieux. Six compositions qui empruntent au folk et au vieux blues américain, où l’on passe de la solitude désolante à l’harmonica jusqu’au fuzz-wah anéantissant de << Crude Vessels of Sound >>. Carburant à la guitare, c’est un beau retour aux sources du proto-punk et du blues sauce psychédélique, cover de Hasil Adkins inclus.

Review :: Futensil – Futensil

Futensil
Futensil
(Campaign For Infinity)
Montreal, QC
::web/sounds::


From the swampy high-life of Aaron Levin:
Between the legs of a warped B-52s / Cramps hybranoid exists the maligned and twisted vibrations of Montreal’s Futensil. Their atonal jungle of mystic wyrdabilly shivers beneath Emily’s shrieks while Psychic Handshake CIO Graeme Langdon chants his way through a distant spell of psychedelic conjure. The overall emotional damage is an addicting aural experience for any futurotic voodoo voyeur.

Review :: Omon Ra II / Dirty Beaches – Omon Ra II / Dirty Beaches

Omon Ra II / Dirty Beaches
Omon Ra II / Dirty Beaches
(Campaign For Infinity)
Montreal, QC // Vancouver, BC
::web/sounds::


From the staff of (omon) Ra, as wielded by Aaron Levin:
Omon Ra II lands in Montreal and immediately unleashes a seething explosion of post-hyperbole psych-punk: relentless equalizer rejection and blazing guitar shreddery battling for every magnetic millimeter. Meanwhile, Dirty Beaches departs Montreal for sunny Vancouver and metamorphoses into wild nullophonic mystic rockisms; wasted, minimally-greased rockabilly for deadbeat cowboys and vintage thuggery. An odd paring, but this isn’t the first time the Omon moniker sat beside something equally disparate. Mind = blown.
