Elan Noon, Sinzere, wanderingaria, and Hot Garbage
Elan Noon - “Spinning”
This beautifully eerie new track perfectly sums up the feelings most of us are having these days as seemingly everything goes to shit. Elan Noon creates the feeling of the world spinning around your head by circling around the same short set of lyrics while the backing violin slowly takes over with its melancholy tune.
Sinzere - Buy Back the Block
Pulling the centre of Canada’s hip-hop universe a couple thousand kilometres to the west is no small feat but one listen to Sinzere will have you fixing your eyes on Calgary’s rap scene. Her EP, Buy Back the Block takes initiative by the horns and is more likely to straight up take back the whole neighbourhood.
wanderingaria - The Soundless Sleep
The Soundless Sleep is the latest release from Calgary’s wanderingaria who hammers out these songs live in one take. She creates a digital dreamworld with manipulated effects and twisted up circuits, conveying human emotions in the language of a computer, with elegance.
Hot Garbage - “Easy Believer”
Toronto’s Hot Garbage will make an “easy believer” out of you with their hypnotic new single. The song kicks off with a catchy groove that gets those gullible feet moving and then they proceed with a chant to wash the brain as swirls of delay and reverb soaked guitars take you under their influence.
