My Friend Wallis When the Blue Turned Yellow (Self Released) Victoria, BC ::web/sounds::

Bowling: the sport of burnt deadheads and psychedelic journeypersons littering every dead-end street and alley-way available. Fact: there are no bowling lanes in Victoria. Thus, without a central force attracting acid-casualties and other tailings of any healthy psychedelic mise-en-scène, it’s surprising to find the summery-yet-somber lysergic melodies of My Friend Wallis emerging from Canada’s retirement wasteland. My Friend Wallis is the creative vice of Cyrstal Dorval and When the Blue Turned Yellow is the result of a Pacific Ocean beach party sans hobos, shenanigans, skatepark heros, and trashy tourists; a peak-of-dusk serenity when the whole world is easy on the eyes and every ukulele-strum, delayed vocal, and marimba shake brings us closer to tomorrow’s hangover-mistake. It’s beautiful, dreamy, ethereal, and every other word used to adjectate breezy summer evenings. So maybe it’s not surprising they come form a city without bowling lanes.
