Bataille Solaire
Baal Shamash et Son Char Céleste
(Los Discos Enfantasmes)
Montreal, QC

From the histoire de l’oeil of Jesse Locke:

Asäel Robitaille drifted listeners into an earthbound psych-pop lull on The Lemon Tape, but on this solo expedition he fires up the thrusters into uncharted space. Time-shifting arpeggios and soft comets of synth create a vessel for his sidelong explorations, seamlessly flowing from one zone to the next. Montreal main-stay Félix Morel contributes a perfectly tripped collage for the foldout, part Mati Klarwein and part Barbarella. A+ all around.

Heachaches
Dirty Hairy
(Self Released)
Edmonton, AB

Is it OK to call this pop? The sound is not pop. The approach is probably not either. But there are melodies and rhythms and (possibly) vocals hidden within the streams of prepared piano, coloured noise, and delayed guitar. It’s another bend in a flow of records straddling the line between ambient soundscapes and subtle pop; a movement started by Arthur Russell. For a cassette with 18 tracks of experimental excursions, the album provides a more than enjoyable listening experience; you will travel with Headaches through ambient pastures as the roaring hills of processed sound permeate your auricular life-space. And some of it’s catchy! It’s important to note that the j-card states: PS – It’s real.
Headaches – Warm Up
Headaches – Home Is Where … ?
