Tezeta - A Night

Capturing the racing heartbeat of every single club at 4am on a Saturday night, ‘A Night’ is the euphoric, breathtaking work of Canadian Joe Roth (aka. Tezeta). Like a concentrated mixture of all of M83’s best moments, it steers a gorgeous vocal sample into unchartered territory, blending tropical guitar hooks with a pulse-like, throbbing beat. Totally stunning.

Verttigo: Autumn Dreams

I don’t want the vocalists of Verttigo to take this as a sour criticism, but a huge part of me wants to see Blonde Redhead’s Kazu Makino appearing out of nowhere to sing on these songs. Three rough demos from the Canadian, shoegaze-enhanced troupe have enough promise to suggest that maybe, one day, we’ll see Makino collaborating with the group. Heady dreams pushed aside though, for the time being we’ve been gifted with a hugely promising selection of introductory efforts, our pick of the bunch being the song placed at the top of the post, ‘Autumn Dreams’, on the basis of its sheer immediacy.

Doldrums: Endless Winter

Canada’s Doldrums is clearly influenced by Portishead, Kid A-era Radiohead and modern day electronica. In simple terms, this means that I am going to fall head over brogues in love with whatever he writes himself. The ‘Endless Winter’ EP confirms as much, moving from an obnoxious “saay aaaaahhh!” chant through to five experimental movements, all of which carry some minor flaws. These flaws are wrestled aside however when you immerse yourself in the actual audacity of what this guy’s set out to do and the excitable results of his adventures. Take the EP’s title track as a fine example: similar to Yorke and co.”s ‘Backdrifts’ but with an added urgency and sense of desire. The most beautiful take from a quite staggering first work.
