jungle/surf

pill wonder - jungle/surf (2010)

// now that the silly Olympics are over, my guess is that people are tired of that canadian winter bullshit. this would explain the poor response to this mornings post (loscil). i guess it's just not what people want to hear this sunny 1st of march. too bad for you, the album's fantastic....
// for all of you unsatisfied beach bums, this is the best i can give you! underwater peoples latest release, which, if you're in the same boat as I am, are still waiting for your pre-ordered LP but found this one.
damn you postal service

WOMEN

//this was the 2nd album i ever posted on this blog. i love it so much that I decided to post it again. here is the post:


Women - Women (2008)

...in a mixture of hypnotic noisy instrumentals and almost melodic pop songs, the s/t album by Canadian group Women, is, selon moi, by far the greatest and most innovative album to come out of Canada.

"The debut album by Women was recorded by label-mate Chad VanGaalen over 4 months on ghettoblasters and old tape machines in his basement, an outdoor culvert and a crawlspace. Sometimes light and spacious, at other times eerie and dense with an ominous weight, this self titled album touches upon Velvet Underground, The Zombies or This Heat while not really having any obvious precursors – a lo-fi masterpiece cloaked in layers of vibrato and guitar wash." flemish eye

Here I give you a chance to listen to one the hardest album to find on the web, ungooglable.. (have you ever tried to google Women...?) "
