Tunic - Exhaling
Exhaling by Winnipeg punks Tunic is a deep breath out, but instead of a quiet flow of air it's a frenzied expulsion of squealing guitars, pummelled bass and drums, and ragged yelling.
Reviews
Three Headed Elephant - Queer Magic
Three Headed Elephant's sophomore album Queer Magic is a study in doing a lot with very little. Songwriter Wolfgang Barbosa-Rocha is both a skilled vocalist and guitar player, and both talents are on full display on this collection of minimal songs.
special delivery - 人生的配樂 vol. 1
"On 人生的配樂 vol. 1, Montréal experimental composer special delivery captures snippets of subtle time as they occur or recounts them because they’ve eluded her."
Simon Provencher - Mesures EP
"Emphasizing results over intention, the proof is in the pudding with Simon Provencher's playfully experimental Mesures EP."
OBUXUM - Bravery Network Online Soundtrack
While not quite as expansive or exploratory as OBUXUM's previous work, Bravery Network Online stands alone as a highly enjoyable listen worth reaching for the replay button.
Mustafa Rafiq - If I Were A Dance
A mainstay of Edmonton's scene, experimental guitarist Mustafa Rafiq's latest is a deeply contemplative and personal effort.
Minimal Violence - Phase Two
"On Phase Two, Vancouver's Ash Luk and Lida P. race through techno, industrial breakbeat, and other electronic experiments. The duo switches things up just when you think you have ahold of them, shopping in their encyclopedic influences not only across tracks but within them."
