New Canadiana :: Wolfcow – See Hear Believe

Wolfcow - See, Hear, Believe

Greydyn Wolfcow’s freak-scene vicennial continues to whorl in a morphological vortex. This 20-song churn-a-thon sees members of Bile Sister, the ‘cans and Man Made Hill join the bone gang for another round of pop trope perversion. Casio presets have never sounded this sinister, while the vocal affectations range from prime-era P. Orridge to Canada’s shock-opera subcultural ambassador. Grip this shimmy disc and see, hear, believe.

Depuis presque vingt ans, Greydyn Wolfcow et sa bande à part tournoient continuellement dans un vortex morphologique. Pour ce nouveau malaxe-thon de vingt pièces qui déforment allégrement les figures de style de la pop, Wolfcow s’allie à des membres de Bile Sister, The Soupcans et Man Made Hill. On n’aura jamais entendu des préréglages de Casio aussi sinistres, tandis que le chant rappelle autant les belles années de Genesis P-Orridge que l’ambassadeur sous-culturel de l’opéra-choc canadien. Saisissez ce disque pour voir, entendre et croire.

New Canadiana :: Caves – Secretly Dead

Caves - Secretly Dead

Having evolved from the one-man band of Pete Grier into a four-piece, Caves gets pastoral quick on this full-length. Think Flying Saucer Attack’s rural drip-gaze nuzzling up to Yo La Tengo’s midnight skyline drone anthems. “Concrete Teeth” drowns in its own gooey dub treatments, indistinct vocal lines swirling into the keyboard and guitar loops whilst achieving full infinity with a shrug. The overall effect of this laid-back listen is a wonderful assimilation rather than a hobbled clobber over the skull. Pleasant, distant and kinda threatening like driving around the suburbs at dusk. Some fine bleed for the last drink before bed. Geez, now I’m thirsty!

New Canadiana :: Event Cloak – Reprogramming

Event Cloak - Reprogramming

Nick Maturo of Sundrips whisks on his technicolour dreamcloak for this solo excursion into the expanding universe. Gliding throughout the vast expanses of a c52, he shows off a grab bag of tripper techniques from overloaded circuitry to idyllic ecstasis and an unsettling blast of shortwave in the hallowed tradition of “86 Commercial Trash.” Run this shit and reprogram your mind, cuz tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 2274.

New Canadiana :: Man Made Hill – Intercourses

Man Made Hill - Intercourses
Intercourses brings listeners deeper into Man Made Hill’s erotic vortex. Ascend the Tower of Randy and let his warble-funk wash over you for a new form of mind control stripped of any sinister intentions. Local vibe-inducer Isla Craig lends her celestial pipes to the title track, while the kosmische airbrush of Keith Rankin graces its sleeve with a Saturnine gaze into infinitum. Orange Milk has a pattern of bona fide masterpieces from its roster north of the border, and the hits keep on comin’.

New Canadiana :: Quatro – Les éclairs me donnent la vie

Quatro - Les éclairs me donnent la vie
Une croisade space-disco entreprise par des membres des Georges Leningrad et de Duchess Says, ce 12″ unilatéral de 12 minutes de Quatro est le premier d’une tétralogie – comme quoi toute est dans toute est dans toute est dans toute. Réappropriés d’un glorieux passé, les grooves chevaleresques des synthés de champions sont éclairés par les prouesses sirupeuses d’une guitare qui sublime ses relents hard rock dans l’espace afin de former une constellation en pentaptyque qui progresse en fracas dansant pour se terminer dans un BANG. Sexy, torturé et dangereux, ce premier bonjour de Quatro rappelle que le disco a déjà brassé le booty du Québec et qu’il en a traversé les époques en tabarnac.

New Canadiana :: Spools – Spools

Spools - Spools
Somewhere between a rave-induced, casio-blown pop ritual and the netherworld of nuanced bedroom wizardry lurks an unassuming champion of weirdo minimalism. Several journey‘s through Spools’ cosmique varieté will induce a space-gaze of drum machine rhetoric, riddum annihilation, and post-ritual keyboard jammery. A rare glimpse into the streaming consciousness of precious obscurity.

New Canadiana :: No UFO’s – MPC Tracks Vol 1

No UFOs - MPC Tracks Vol 1
Emerging from the Drexciyan school of liquid-techno, No UFO’s tour-only-CDR yields a peak into the digital netherverse enveloping their creative flow. Percolating an emerging digi-ethos through layers of bit-filtered static, each song on MPC Tracks Vol 1 is a stargate into the meditative tech-zones of modern electronica. It’s got enough rhythmania to sustain the heaviest of Kraut grippery, but the bedroom boredom dance groove transfigures it into new dimensions of minimal nongenre. An official cassette version will be available sooner for immediate grippage.

New Canadiana :: Pop Winds – Earth To Friend

Pop Winds - Earth To Friend
The final release from Montreal’s Pop Winds has it’s genesis within the sub-atomic modal vibrations coursing through the fabric of space time. “Phonons” fades into pulsed existence, while the droning guitars and synth tones coalesce into Earth To Friend‘s mournful harmonies. The pervasive feeling of departures permeates the album’s sparse, cosmic catch, solidifying their popular emotion with minor-key elegance. RIP, friends. You were good to us.

New Canadiana :: Soft Mirage – Ionian Dream

Soft Mirage - Ionian Dreams
Bold enough to ride the crests of sinusoids so soft they make Bruce Cockburn sound like the Dry Heaves, Soft Mirage transfigure every open space into lush, organic hyperbole. The ephemeral git-synth moves of Montreal heavyweight Christian Richer have joined with synthianado Panabrite for a trans-dimensional journey into the event-horizon of cassette culture.

New Canadiana :: Bobo Boutin – NYX Vol. 1

Bobo Boutin - NYX Vol. 1
Magicien consubstantiel, Bobo Boutin l’ex-batteur des Georges Leningrad est bien plus que l’ex-batteur des Georges Leningrad : collagiste du xerox et du coloriage, il grafigne aussi les machines à son d’une mode semblable depuis une couple d’années, en solo, depuis la Commission Scolaire Du Rouleau À Pâte. Du gallo-fi adjectif et instrumental qui s’installe comme quelqu’un que t’as pas invité chez vous, fait des caresses créatives à ton synthé et te laisse des étoiles dans les oreilles, comme un Klaus Schulze masqué qui délaisse la cosmogonie pour la beauté des racoins du sous-sol – c’est sombre, là, mais, tu vas voir, ça va ben aller.

Pour commander votre copie ultra-personnalisée qui vient dans un Ziploc avec un morceau de miroir brisé, mettez 10$ dans une enveloppe et envoyez ça au 6287 de Lorimier, Montréal, H2G 2P5. Email Bobo – csdrap@hotmail.com.

Et voyez-le en concert ce 14 juin au Wyrd MTL dans le cadre du Suoni Per Il Popolo – où il chantera! Dansera! Scandera « FILM MUET TABARNAK » dans un suit de Marcel Marceau?
