  • Carefully Pieced Together Around Feist
    FEIST ‘Let It Die’ is very much a voice album in close up, “eye to eye and ear to ear”. Carefully pieced together around Feist’s seductive and jhai* voice, the album forms the missing link between ye old folk (storytelling), the Brill building era (the quest for the hook), doo-wop (melody and mood) and minimal modern pop arrangements. Like line drawings as opposed to detailed paintings, these songs leave you space to fill in the emotional blanks. Its lack of complication makes ‘Let It Die’ standout from much of today’s musical offerings; put simply, a beautiful slice of sonic escapism to illustrate and interrupt the little moments that together tell us stories. A history not lacking in variety, the Canadian born singer has accomplished much in her few tender years, so for those inquisitive journo types, here are the last few years in a nut shell… “My first proper gig was supporting the Ramones at an outdoor festival when my high school punk band won a battle of the bands contest. We played together for about 5 years. I moved to Toronto from Calgary to see a musical injuries doctor, after losing my voice on my first cross-Canadian tour when I was 19. Not knowing a soul in Toronto I spent 6 months in a dark basement apartment with a 4 track and having been told not to sing I got a guitar to do it for me. A couple of years later I was playing guitar in By Divine Right and toured for 6 months opening for the Tragically Hip, mostly in front of stadium crowds of around 40,000.

  • Sunset Rubdown Random Spirit Lover
    SUNSET RUBDOWN RANDOM SPIRIT LOVER The Mending Of The Gown The woven lyrics and singular songwriting style heard in Sunset Rubdown invoke a mythological Magic Vs. Midas world, where magical narratives and tiny metaphors give shape to ordinary objects in the room; Up On Your Leopard, Upon The End sometimes beautiful, sometimes beastly. The moniker was first born to bear the solo bedroom Of Your Feral Days recordings of Spencer Krug, but has since evolved into a full-fledged band, involving the vital The Courtesan Has Sung contributions of fellow Montreal residents Jordan Robson Cramer, Michael Doerksen, and Camilla Wynne Ingr. Winged/Wicked Things Colt Stands Up, Grows Horns Now enter Sunset Rubdown’s third full-length record, Random Spirit Lover, featuring twelve songs Stallion that bleed in and out of each other, mixing portents with theatrics, confusions with conversions. For The Pier (And Dead Shimmering) The dark glamour of the music beneath the half-baked revelations in rhyme creates a tone of high The Taming Of The Hands That drama, blown-out and overt, but the stage is wild and the roles aren’t clear, so the sincerity of the Came Back To Life work and the spontaneity of the recordings can’t help but shine through the formality of structure. In short, listening to Random Spirit Lover is like watching schoolchildren in a dress rehearsal for the Setting Vs. Rising annual Easter play. And though they aren’t old enough to know the occasion is anything more than Trumpet, Trumpet, Toot! Toot! pastel-painted eggs and edible bunnies, they wear the fake beards with confidence and style.

  • Fw POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE ADDS TITLE to the LONG LIST
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE ADDS ONE MORE TITLE TO THE 2014 LONG LIST TORONTO, ON – Tuesday, June 24, 2014. Steve Jordan, Director and Founder of the Polaris Music Prize, announced the addition of Greg MacPherson’s album Fireball to the 2014 Long List. Due to an incorrect reference in the prize’s new web-based voting system, there was a miscalculation of votes. The error was discovered and corrected, resulting in the addition of MacPherson’s album to the list. One title that would have been pushed out with MacPherson’s inclusion will also re- main on the Long List. “We pride ourselves in triple checking to ensure every ballot is counted correctly so obviously this is quite an embarrassment for us. The developers have assured us all is working properly mov- ing into our Short List vote. The bonus for music lovers is that yet another deserving album gets Polaris recognition,” said Steve Jordan on the error. 2014 Polaris Music Prize Long List: Arcade Fire – Reflektor AroarA – In The Pines Austra – Olympia Philippe B – Ornithologie, la nuit BADBADNOTGOOD – III Basia Bulat – Tall Tall Shadow Chromeo – White Women Cousins – The Halls Of Wickwire Cowboy Junkies / Various Artists – The Kennedy Suite The Darcys – Warring Dead Obies – Montréal $ud Mac DeMarco – Salad Days DIANA – Perpetual Surrender Drake – Nothing Was The Same Freedom Writers – NOW Fresh Snow – I Frog Eyes – Carey’s Cold Spring Gorguts – Colored Sands Tim Hecker – Virgins Jimmy Hunt – Maladie d’amour Jessy Lanza – Pull My Hair Back Greg MacPherson - Fireball Kalle

    Tanned Tin Castelló 2007 tendrá lugar en Castellón, los próximos 1, 2 y 3 de noviembre (con actividades complementarias el día 31 de octubre y el 4 de noviembre). Si el año pasado supuso la consolidación total y un éxito de público y prensa, éste 2007 se apostará por una mayor implicación de la ciudad, siendo 4 los escenarios en los que actuarán los grupos. El miércoles 31 de octubre se inaugura el festival en el Centro Municipal de Cultura. Además, recuperamos el moderno y magnífico Auditori i Palau de Congressos para la noche del jueves 1 de noviembre. Los días 2, 3 y 4 de noviembre, el centro neurálgico del festival continuará siendo el impresionante Teatre Principal de Castelló, que tanto impactó (por su estética y sobre todo su sobresaliente acústica) el año pasado y que se encuentra cerca de los hoteles, restaurantes y resto de servicios. Y no nos podíamos olvidar de otro de los éxitos del año pasado, ya que volvemos a insistir en una fórmula casi única en los festivales independientes, como son las dos matinales a las 13:00 horas en el Casino Antiguo los días 2 y 3 de noviembre. La idea fundamental del Tanned Tin Castelló consiste en ofrecer un menú degustación de lo que consideramos lo más interesante del panorama independiente internacional.
