This is a further indicator of why Montreal’s Atsuko Chiba should be a household name in the experimental/post-everything genres. The way this band crosses genres between songs, still sounding uniquely like themselves, is a marvel. For the uninitiated, the best parts of this album sound like a more accessible King Crimson mixed with the Mars Volta—with a pinch of Rage Against The Machine. Truly nothing like it.
Featuring Cindy Lee, Nemahsis, Wyatt C. Louis, and more — These Canadian artists all commandeered our headphones this year in a compelling way.
