Originally from Saskatchewan, Matthew moved to Minneapolis. At least I think so, every biography I found is some weird almost surreal thing about overthrowing strange religious societies and drugs. Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if these things had influence as this song is well, fuckin’ weird.

When I first heard Excercises #3 (Building), I was like “what the fuck, this isn’t CFCF?”. He has moved away from dance music a bit and into instrumental music. Here it’s a meditative piano that becomes decorated with synth. It’s definitely not something you can dance to but in headphones it creates a rather pensive atmosphere. For some reason I like to ponder things to this track. Even if it might not be filled with dance music, I can’t wait for CFCF‘s next album to come out. It’s set to release April 24th, 2012 and that is way too far away.

Tension filled, you want this song to resolve the whole time. You think that the first 10 seconds will only last 10 seconds but it doesn’t. That dissonant chord just keeps sustaining. AHHHHH. But yup that is what to expect from the drone filled music of Au Vol. If it’s not your thing you could probably blast this super loud and win any room mate noise war.

Once in a while something absolutely weird captures my attention like this track by Montreal’s Shaker Hymns. It’s a pretty psychadelic instrumentation experiment of some sort. Some of you might think you need some crazy drugs to appreciate this, and I can tell you I am on nothing. Sometimes when I listen to so many things on a daily basis, I need a little of weirdness here and there to stay inspired. Well, if you are as curious as I am there a couple more tracks you can grab on Bandcamp.

The Lazy MKS is fucking weird.

As weird as a band that does not rely on amelodic runs and dissonance (purely to confuse) can possibly be.

And that’s awesome.

No blurb I could write would do this band justice as far as describing their sound is concerned. They call themselves “instrumental post-country” and while that would be merely overly pretentious gibberish if used to describe literally any other band, it’s remarkably accurate. Normally when bands write self-genre-classifications, they’re riddled with inaccuracies and the like, but this is definitely a situation where the band knows who they are. Do yourself a favour and get to know them too.

Check out this creepy (as expected) animated video from Timber Timbre. Swamp Magic has no vocals but that doesn’t mean you’ll get bored when listening to this song.
