Nw Music: Yamantaka//Sonic Titan- One

Apparently experimental Montreal band Yamantaka//Sonic Titan are absolutely amazing to see live and their shows are more performance art than rock concert. I have always wanted to go see one of their shows but have never got around to it. The self described "noh-wave" band love playing Toronto so I'm a sure I'll see them sooner or later.

They are also incredible in the studio, making some of the weirdest experimental sounds in pop music today. Their simply titled new single "One" is anything but simple. The track starts out slowly with Iroquois chants and then breaks into a swirling mess of goodness that features loud metal guitars, operatic voices, crazy lyrics and more aboriginal chants.  The mixture of all these ingredients make the song a beautiful prog rock/psych freak out, stand out. Download the track below:

Yamantaka//Sonic Titan will release their new album UZU on October 29th via Paper Bag/Suicide Squeeze.

New Music: Doldrums- She Is The Wave + Music Video

Toronto Experimental pop artist Doldrums, aka Alrick Woodhead, has released a second single, She is the Wave, from his forthcoming new album titled Lesser Evil . The skittish blippy track contains chaotic experimental beats which is appropriate considering the content of the accompanying weird music video. The video shows a ski boot wearing Woodhead desperately pushing a shopping cart through a barren wasteland and almost dying of exhaustion. All is not lost as a man in a kitty cat car, that looks like it was stolen from a Santa Claus parade, comes to the rescue. Watch and listen below:

Lesser Evil, which was recorded on a borrowed laptop from Grimes, will be released on February 26th via Arbutus Records.

For fans of Grimes, Animal Collective and DD/MM/YYYY
