The Becoming 

Pleasance 

2018 

"Isla Craig is vocalist and songwriter living and working in Toronto, ON. With pointed attention towards vocal delivery and melodic play, her music is underpinned by languid rhythms and arrangements that tumble into trance states. In addition to her work as a solo artist, she is an active collaborator in Toronto, performing with Jennifer Castle, IC/JC/VC, and the Cosmic Range."

Sprints/W.H. Lung/Tom Sharkett  Literary Mind ITom Sharkett RMX)   Favoriting Literary Mind Remixes  Nice Swan Recordings  2022  Sprints have released a remix of their single "Literary Mind". The remix was done by W. H. Lung and Tom Sharkett. The single was released in August and the band released their EP A Modern Job earlier this year. Tom Sharkett experimented with new equipment and sounds while recording his band’s (W. H. Lung) first record and he was drawn deeper into the world of electronics. He creates electronic music with a punk ethos and so working with Sprints is a match made in heaven. ‘Literary Mind‘ is arguably their most accomplished track to date, and this remix is the first of any of their released music. Sprints are from Dublin and are touring!    0:04:56 (Pop-up)
Crack Cloud  Virtuous Industry   Favoriting Tough Baby  Crack Cloud Media Corporation  2022  Crack Cloud’s new album Tough Baby is both a clarion call and a life-manual for the listener. Unsurprisingly, it is a record with purpose and resolve. Nothing is wasted. Sometimes the music feels deliberately compressed, the essences extracted and bottled into an overpowering cordial. it’s difficult to see how a track like ‘Virtuous Industry’ can hold itself together, such are the sonic hoops it jumps through. The sharp angles and hook-laden guitar lines that were once seen as a trademark sound are less in evidence. Crack Cloud are an artistic collective who make music to think to, music with which to educate, agitate and organise. Zach Choy: “The name Tough Baby is an allusion to our Planet. To our Culture. And to our Selves.” It’s made to remind us that whilst we are all in the gutter to some extent, some of us are looking at the kerb."    0:09:58 (Pop-up)
Usé  Tamponne moi   Favoriting Couleur Brique  Born Bad Records  2022  Couleur Brique, Usé's third disc released on Born Bad, opens with a coughing fit glaviot + piano, while a guitar vomits its tracheitis in the back of the shed. To beat the snare drum to evoke a crush that bites and claws and spits, to dab, to get high. But we love each other a lot in these seven songs, which evoke bi-taste beer-pill romances that end in converted vans, at the bottom of the temporary autonomous zone of our asses.    0:12:46 (Pop-up)
CHEWY SHE  No Ego   Favoriting Run After Boyz  CHEWY SHE  2022  I am obsessed by Chewy She. She is Garance Louis. This is from her long awaited extended EP release, which just came out last week. It features 5 originals and two remixes and ALL are quality. Her visuals, like her music is stunning. Make no mistake, her playful ways are designed to take down the patriarchy quite effectively. Chewy She is currently on tour in the UK. Buy the vinyl!  *   0:15:14 (Pop-up)

The Cosmic Range  Kowboy   Favoriting New Latitudes  Idée Fixe Records  2016  "Matthew "Doc" Dunn is a Toronto based artist, singer/songwriter and renowned multi-instrumentalist. His decade plus career has produced an astonishing volume of work that includes both his recent solo excursions and countless collaborations with peers including contemporary international music makers Bob Egan, J Mascis, Kevin Morby, Ayal Senior, Sunburned Hand of the Man, and Woods. Well noted as a frequent contributor to the prolific output of Matt Valentine and Erika Elder (MV/EE), and as a member of their "Golden Road", it was in between his extensive touring with MV/EE that Dunn wrangled his own amorphous ensemble of local heads, The Transcendental Rodeo. The group expanded upon his lifelong embrace of "social music", sometimes numbering twenty players, the band Dunn described as "both extremely fun and positively unwieldy" was documented in 2015's posthumous and expansive box set Kanata. The band, which at the time of Kanata's release was described as an "expanding head band" who dealt in "communal hillbilly raga”, wound down in 2011. Retreating from the group dynamic to concentrate on his own personal output, Doc released the deep study of feedback, wow and flutter that was 2012's Tecumseh. Acoustic guitars, harmonica and free drumming acted as source material for his dub-wise tribute to the historical roots of Upper Canada. Within twelve months Matthew released the self-produced and self-performed All Is. A maximalist layering of organs, flutes, vibraphone and swung drums which together collaged an interstellar soundtrack reminiscent of spiritual musics old and new. It was the response from peers and followers to All Is that led Doc to form The Cosmic Range. Starting in late 2014 a core membership drawn from Toronto's most enlightened music makers joined Doc on stage to reinterpret All Is' themes into a blend of free jazz, world boogie and galactic funk. A year later in late 2015 The Cosmic Range entered the studio. With Kieran Adams (Diana), drums and electronics; Brandon Valdivia (NTWNTF/Lido Pimienta), congas and percussion; Mike "Muskox" Smith (Jennifer Castle, Sandro Perri), keys and bass; Jonathan Adjemian (Hoover Party), keys and synth; Max "Slim Twig" Turnbull, guitar and wah-wah; Andy Haas (John Zorn, Spermic Brotherhood), saxophone and electronics; Isla Craig (U.S. Girls, IC/JC/VC), voice; and Doc on organ, piano and vibraphone; the group came together to create in just two days their debut record New Latitudes." The Cosmic Range (Bandcamp)    0:26:18 (Pop-up)
The Cosmic Range  Breathing Water   Favoriting The Gratitude Principle  Idée Fixe Records  2019  "In November 2016 The Cosmic Range released their debut record New Latitudes and immediately critical ears across the globe pricked up in response. Pitchfork described the record as "an intoxicating swirl of ambient drones, hypnotic Afro-funk, synth-powered psychedelia, and drifting piano reveries". The Wire claimed that New Latitudes "...makes bamboozling leaps back and forth between prog, krautrock, funk, Afrobeat and free jazz" and Electronic Sound contextualized The Cosmic Range thusly: "If Kamasi Washington is spiritual apprentice to sorcerer John Coltrane, then The Cosmic Range are the bastard offspring Seers of Miles Davis and Alice Coltrane, raised on George Clinton's mothership. Get some." No matter who was listening, all could agree that what they were hearing was a revelation. What they didn't know at the time was that The Cosmic Range were fresh off sessions that provided US Girls's Meg Remy with the instrumental tracks for what would become her 2018 breakout release In A Poem Unlimited. Upon it's release In A Poem Unlimited was met with unanimous praise, highlighting both the Range's depth of talent and their musical malleability. That musicality is a deep well, a well that draws on a collective unspoken language developed by a band that has played together in various ensembles in Toronto's deep music scene for decades. Rooted in Toronto, branches extend in all directions with each member releasing numerous solo works as well as collaborations with like minded artists that include Jennifer Castle, MV&EE, Sandro Perri, Lido Pimienta, Woods and John Zorn. As their debut album was hitting the shelves, Kieran Adams (drums, electronics), Jonathan Adjemian (keys, synth), Isla Craig (voice, flute), Matthew "Doc" Dunn (organ, bass, vibraphone, synth), Andy Haas (saxophone, electronics), Mike Smith (keys, bass), Maximilian Turnbull (guitar,wah-wah, string machine) and Brandon Valdivia (congas, percussion) regrouped to record The Gratitude Principle... ...The listener can relax for a short while as second cut Breathing Water starts with a flute that sounds like the sunrise. Harkening back to the ambient works on 2016's New Latitudes the track settles into a dubwise call and response that seems to float above the clouds blowing smoke rings from on high." The Cosmic Range (Bandcamp)    0:34:28 (Pop-up)
The Cosmic Range  Breathing Water   Favoriting The Gratitude Principle  Idée Fixe Records  2019  Following a similar M.O. as New Latitudes, leader Matthew "Doc" Dunn along with producer Jeff McMurrich wanted to keep the sessions moving quickly, some tunes loosely adhering to jazz forms whose melodic themes would provide a jumping off point for improvisation, other pieces eschewing tradition all together, enabling pure freedom. If The Cosmic Range takes cues from electric era Miles Davis then McMurrich whose credits extend beyond his noted work in popular music to a deep jazz catalogue including sessions with Anthony Braxton, James Blood Ulmer and Sam Rivers, took equal amounts of inspiration from Miles producer Teo Macero. Advanced editing techniques and spatial effects all complement the Range's approach and serve to create a contemporary take on electric jazz. The Gratitude Principle is The Cosmic Range's second album. It's an offering of gratitude. Honouring the music. Honouring the gift, honouring the life. " The Cosmic Range (Bandcamp)    0:39:32 (Pop-up)
GOAT  Do The Dance   Favoriting Oh Death  Rocket Recordings  2022  "After the annual feast with the Gods of Funk, GOAT went to an afterparty with some of the Great Gods of Groove," GOAT say of the new song. "Some time early in the morning, around 4am, one of the singers of GOAT found herself intertwined in a hot dance with the Supreme Mastergod of hipshaking. He tried to outshake her but was way over his head, there was no way he could ever outshake a GOAT banshee strungout on gods knows what! Suddenly his hip broke with a loud snap and GOAT was thrown out on the street. The singers went home and wrote this profound poetry about the experience." Their new album "Oh Death" was released on Oct 21st!  *   0:46:03 (Pop-up)
Special Interest  Foul   Favoriting Endure  Rough Trade  2022  Special Interest, the no-wave punk band from New Orleans, have shared another new song from their new album Endure, out Nov 4th. “This call and response tune is a working class anthem,” Special Interest’s Maria Elena said in a statement. “Alli [Logout] and I co-wrote the lyrics and sing it together with Ruth [Mascelli] adding a classic line—foul! Ever so foul. It’s a dispatch from the dish pit! An ode to all beleaguered workers! Minimum balance savings account blues!”  *   0:49:17 (Pop-up)
Stuck & Miranda Winters  Do Not Reply   Favoriting Do Not Reply Records  Born Yesterday Records  2022  In a world where spam emails and shady phone calls are rife, Stuck has a golden tip ready for us. The band from Chicago releases a song for the first time in a year, expressing its frustration on digital life. “Do Not Reply” is the message and together with Miranda Winters of Melkbelly it has become a sharp punk rocker like we always got from them. Whether this is the start of a route to a debut album remains to be seen.  *   0:52:04 (Pop-up)
Nancy  English Leather   Favoriting English Leather  BLAME Recordings  2022  Nancy is back with new songs! Sticking to their stoned, tranq'ed out glamtastic Bolan Beats...this is another fantastic singalong that finds the sunny side in depression. Nancy explains the track: “Eyes down for a full house, the show is about to begin. ‘English Leather’ is the manifesto, it’s the fingerprint, it’s the first act. I wanted it to sound primal and scary. The Idiot meets The Sweet printed on vinyl left out in the sun to warp" On the new record, Nancy says: “‘English Leather’ is inspired by midnight shadows behind closed curtains in crummy B&Bs, cigarette smoke after hours in seedy seaside bars, and broken bottles that twinkle like stars under platform shoes. The album is a psychedelic portrait of repression, self-denial, and introspection, with a perverted underbelly of indulgence and depravity at its core. After all, it’s the English way.” FUCK I LOVE THIS BAND.  *   0:55:23 (Pop-up)

Isla Craig  Moon   Favoriting Echo's Reach  Idée Fixe Records  2022  Released Nov 4: "For over a decade Isla Craig has created a formidable body of work, a unique musical vision last heard on 2018’s The Becoming and stretching back to 2012’s Both the one & the other, (an a cappella suite of songs featuring some of Toronto’s best known vocalists Daniela Gesundheit, Tamara Lindeman, Ivy Mairi, & Felicity Williams). With Echo’s Reach, Isla presents a sophisticated set of compositions that perfectly wrap her Highland influenced melodies in an organic blanket of musical peat formed from a mix of jazz, R&B and psychedelic folk. Leading a band of luminaries that include Evan Cartwright (drums), Ted Crosby (sax) and Mike Smith (bass), Isla showcases the affecting vocal presence that has made her an in-demand collaborator with artists such as Jennifer Castle and the spiritual jazz octet The Cosmic Range."

Isla Craig  Spirit   Favoriting Echo's Reach  Idée Fixe Records  2022  Released Nov 4: "Isla summarizes: “The album is a collection of songs that express an earnest desire for meditative paces and spaces, absorbing and reflecting the sacred grounds beneath concrete city life. Echo's Reach describes a desire to illuminate and walk in the transmissions and meditations of life between the fallow and the seed.” " Isla Craig: Bandcamp  *   1:40:01 (Pop-up)
The Make-Up  I Am Pentagon   Favoriting Save Yourself  K-Records  1999  Save Yourself smells like the '60s. It smells like leather Chevy seats soaked with ass sweat. It smells like incense and pepper. It smells like stems and seeds on a cardboard record sleeve. This greasy, haunted spectre of a record bears disturbed spirits of bands long dead, like the Doors, the Rolling Stones, and Prince. The Make-Up approach the history of rock and soul like a lover, like a scientist, and like a preacher. The Make-Up is an American post-punk band from Washington, D.C. formed in 1995, consisting of ex-Nation of Ulysses frontman Ian Svenonius on vocals, James Canty on guitar and organ, Steve Gamboa on drums, and Michelle Mae on bass guitar.    1:44:44 (Pop-up)
Melody's Echo Chamber  Norfolk Hotel   Favoriting Unfold  Fat Possum Records  2022  Unfold, the lost follow-up album to Melody’s Echo Chamber’s self-titled debut, will now be available on LP. In their unexpurgated and unvarnished states, sometimes almost finished and sometimes in fragments, Unfold’s seven tracks demonstrate a splurge of righteous creation cut off at an inopportune moment and preserved like the ruins of Pompeii. Goddamn this track is the shit.    1:48:21 (Pop-up)

Mercy's Cut   Favoriting

Mercy's Cut EP 

Practice Music 

2022 

Drawing from his already established sophisticated yet raw sound, ‘Mercy’s Cut’ scatterguns between stark, romantic noir ballads, frantic no-wave, and polished jazz. Although very much a solo songwriter, Bingo’s compositional process relies on contributions from his entire band – bassist Megan Jenkins, and drummer Henry Terrett have been playing together since their teens. In one of their various incarnations, they recruited local avant-jazz legend, cornet player Harry ‘Iceman’ Furniss, with guitarist and percussionist Rafi Cohen later completing the line-up. Bingo Fury’s name is pulled straight from one of his lyric sheets – a perfect representation of the on-the-nose mystique surrounding the project: what you see is what you get, but ‘what it means’ is far less certain.

Low  Just Make It Stop   Favoriting The Invisible Way  Sub Pop  2013  Mimi Parker was Low’s drummer and songwriter, forming the band with husband Alan Sparhawk in 1993 in Duluth, Minnesota. They built success with beautifully simple instrumentals and harmonious vocals, standing out in what would later be defined as the decade’s “slowcore” movement, a subgenre of alternative and indie rock. She passed away last week after a battle with Ovarian Cancer. “Keep her name close and sacred. Share this moment with someone who needs you. Love is indeed the most important thing,” - Alan Sparhawk    2:01:25 (Pop-up)
