YT//ST - Yamantaka//Sonic Titan [psychedlic rock/experimental art]

A beautiful album yes yes. Canadian experimental and performance art collective with an album that sinks deep into the ocean. Anthemic waves of sound and voices turning over and over itself, a smooth and well-formed expression of subtle things and just-out-of-sight things; a packaged pulse that opens up like a flower, but then seals itself as if being clogged. Would like to listen to this album tumbling down from the stratosphere.

Favorite songs: Queens, Reverse Crystal // Murder of a Spider, Hoshi Neko

Rural Alberta Advantage (Canadian Indie Rock)

This is a very guilty post for me. I hadn't even heard of Alberta Rural Advantage until today, when I heard them on the radio, plebeian I know, and there was nothing unique from the average Canadian indie rock (sorry), but I was strangely attracted to it. That's what music is all about right? Enjoying yourself? Well I enjoyed this song.

The chord progression is simple, somewhat overused, but compelling nonetheless. The vocals are mostly lazy and soft, but sometimes bore that little Creed-esque edge that fills in some emotion to the track, and the lyrics are relatable but not overpoweringly present. Lay back and listen to In the Summertime, and be not ashamed.
