Snake River, Indoor Kid, Flat Pop, and Thresher
Snake River - Intermission Musics EP
This release serves as a companion piece to the last album of Snake River’s I covered a few weeks back. That release, serving as a retelling of an old film, is accompanied by this release, which as the title suggests is intermission music meant to play between the score of The Phantom Carriage. It’s noise music greatness.
Indoor Kid - Thanks, Courtney
I recognized the vocals of this transatlantic tweemo, that being Cailen Pygott from ‘no, it’s fine’ fame. Together him and Lauren Thomson create some alternative emo jams that are bound to reach deep into the youthful apathy that exists within, right next to your lost innocence. Also, for a Canadian release, this was recorded in Glasgow. I just thought that was interesting.
Flat Pop - “Sound”
This is the debut single from Victoria’s Flat Pop. This track features all the beautiful nuance behind bedroom rock and mixes it with this grim and reverberated tone that gives the album a minor, Elliott Smith-esque feeling, chalk full of raw emotion and the blood, sweat, and tears behind lofi production.
Thresher - Closing on a Minor Client
This new release from Ontario’s Thresher produces quite a vast soundscape through their intricate inclusion of sample tapes dating back several decades. This is sound music at its finest, with a lack of rhythm and coherence, this is experimental music at its best. Truly a haunting listening experience from front to back.
