About the Artists
Esmerine (Montreal / Constellation Records)
The last snow of spring kept cool by shadow in a quiet, leafless copse. A Doppler effect jet moans above, sinking like a sullen spirit. Turkish sentiments and wide drone billow amidst complex, arabesque arrangements. Grave and powerful music encrusted in string and drum, re-grown from post-rock’s deepest root. (Members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, A Silver Mt. Zion, Saltland.)
Bernice (Toronto)
Tenderness encapsulated, smoothnesses ebbing and flowing. A warm mauve light hums where butterfly kisses flutter and blush. Sink into a silk pillow forever and stare bleary-eyed toward the underwater sun. Turn the subtle corners of jazz, drink the ambrosia of crystalline voice, lend your heart to this experience.
Baby Cages (Toronto / Halifax)
Wading through the smokey murk of grunge’s bleakest corridors. Loudspeaker vocals intone over tracking-line grime and slow-core vestiges. Layne Staley’s ghost croons morosely in the background as crinkled synths and mutated guitars stretch thin like comedown nerves.
