New Canadiana :: Silver Dapple – English Girlfriend

From the psychocandy of Gabriel Jasmin:
Caked from top to bottom in a thick simmer of fuzz, Silver Dapple choose to fight amplifier feedback with massive walls of unclean guitar overdrive. English Girlfriend’s honey dripping sounds echo back two decades at Black Tambourine’s feminine noise-pop, its finely wound songwriting tangible through humble hooks and fairly removed expressionism. À dévorer à pleines dents.

Video :: Silver Dapple – (Pauses) [Dir. Moduli TV]

From the mild drug dependence of Michael Deane:
Cut up collage comp vids of found footage and cable access standouts are good even when they’re done lazily, and they’re endlessly entertaining when someone puts in the effort. Moduli TV has done it well for Silver Dapple, infusing random clips with a thematic narrative. There’s purpose and flow in the shaking, distorted images, and it’s matched by fuzzed-out shoegazing guitars plus stomping and running drums. With strange breaks, disconcerting dance and exercise videos and quick excerpts of VHS garbage, the video is a stand-out on its own; it changes enough to keep you guessing, and every frame seems picked for intrigue and discomfort. The song itself is a mild drug that slowly builds dependence. Female vox soar over thick guitars and bass and the punctuating drums make you pay attention. Altered collage rock done right, and a full-length coming out soon. Get ready to grip, or grip now in advance.

Video :: The Haiduks – Use Up My Time [dir. Moduli TV]

From the time wastidity of Jesse Locke:
Like a third generation DGC Rarities boot melting on Kevin Shields’ dashboard, the debut transmission from Montreal’s Haiduks is the sound of a popsicle turned to sweet, sweet sugar juice. Switching planes from the ambient bliss-out of his primary project, Élément Kuuda, Christian Richer kicks his amp into overdrive with this unstoppably awesome shoegaze pop fist-pumper. The accompanying visuals from Frank “Hobo Cult” Ouellette flick through sun-bleached memories from a found-footage family vacation, serving up a pitch-perfect song/video combo. I want to jump in a lake.

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.

Cooley high.

Caves / Stephen Cooley Caves / Stephen Cooley
Caves / Stephen Cooley
(Jazz Farm?)
Saskatoon, SK
::web/sounds::

Weightless jet-streams of chords soak every minute of this odd split cassette from Saskatoon that clocks in at an astonishing 90 minutes. Caves projects his shoegazing kite along these contorted winds to produce pop-scapes that stretch our emotional imagination. On the flip, Stephen Cooley scales it back to traditional ambient themes that seem to weave between the reverberated vocal echoes and field recordings. Both Caves and Stephen Cooley are quite active in the Saskatoon scene, playing in a number of weird projects (Lion Stab, The Foggy Motions, A Gentle Forest, etc.) I look forward to more from these SK basement weirdos.
