Former Immaculate Machine member and current New Pornographers contributor Kathryn Calder just released her sophomore solo album, Bright and Vivid , through File Under: Music . I interviewed her for Exclaim! and wrote about the LP for The Tyee . Below, watch the video for the dance floor-friendly single "Who Are You?," which expands Calder's usual sonic pallet with hooky synths and thudding electro beats. This one takes her out of the coffee shop [...]

Kathryn Calder's "Who Are You?" is as bright and vivid as her album title suggests.
CBC Radio 3 Track of the Day. Guest Host, CBC Radio 3 Host/Producer Dave Shumka: "This is the French translation of the now-defunct Victoria band’s song 'Broken Ship,' and it’s fantastic."

In 2006 it seemed like Matthew Adam Hart would soon reach prolific status. Hart’s flurry of successful remixes and the release of The Russian Futurists' '05 gem, Our Thickness, suggested that he could become the next Matthew Herbert of sorts, a musical entrepreneur with refined innovation even beyond his specialized niche of electronica. Our Thickness [...]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars You all might know Kathryn Calder from her role in The Immaculate Machine . You might have also seen her grace the stage as a member of The New Pornographers . But, now she has stepped aside from it all to record an album of her own, influenced by time spent with her mother during a terminal illness. Are You My Mother is just another step in her [...]
Photography by DonaRita ... Thursdays seem to be my rough days, eh? Man... Well, started last night and continuing now while I eat my leftovers of cucumber & tomato gazpacho marinated chicken and sticky rice (Baby's suggestion, delish!) is a wonderful little album by one of our favourite New Pornographer who, too often, gets over-shadowed by the power & weight of the other members of the "supergroup", particularly & obviously, Ms. Neko Case. Yeah, I'm talking about Kathryn Calder. Don't feel too bad though, not only is she [...]
Toronto - Just like Scarlett Johansson whenever she's in a movie with Natalie Portman, Kathryn Calder has always been the "other girl" in bands. Mainly the New Pornographers . The days of dwelling in someone's shadow are coming to the end for this BC native. This summer will see Carl Newman's niece step into the bright shining light with her debut album Are You My Mother? . Set to be released August 3rd, the album will see Kathryn sing songs she wrote herself (instead of say, a drunk Dan Bejar). In [...]
Back in summer 2007, I ran into Immaculate Machine 's Kathryn Calder at a Vancouver jam space. At the time, the singer/keyboardist was rehearsing with the New Pornograpers for their upcoming Challengers tour. She asked me if there was anywhere to eat nearby and I gave her directions to Solly's , a bagel store that was a couple of blocks away. I hope you found it okay, Kathryn! Three years and probably many bagels later, she is preparing to release her debut solo album, Are You My Mother? [...]
It's almost dark, and I am sitting in front of the fountain that decorates the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock, NY. Walking towards me is Kathryn Calder and her manager Euvin Weeber. Kathryn is looking like anyone else in the crowd that surrounds us, down to earth in a floral print dress, while Euvin blows her [...]

cc-lizenz von simon law @ flickr viel zu lange schon unterlaufen die new pornographers zumindest in deutschland den radar selbst musikalisch gebildeter und interessierter menschen. und viel zu lange gab es schon kein neues album mehr. in den letzten jahren wendeten sich die bandmitglieder ja vor allem ihren soloprojekten zu: a.c. newman und neko case waren jeweils solo unterwegs, die erst vor kurzem vor allem als liveersatz für sie engagierte kathryn calder brachte mit ihrer anderen band immaculate machine ein [...]
Here is #11-#20 of my picks of Canadian albums of 2009 . A Mountain Is A Mouth - Bruce Peninsula Can't stop listening to this album by this big Toronto band. Best tracks are Inside/Out, Steamroller, Satisfied and Crabapples. Islands Disappear - Said The Whale A very tight in production and more of a bigger sounding album than previous album. Best tracks [...]
November 6th was a great night despite being very cold outside. Must be the first signs of winter coming. Went to Mavericks and playing there were: The Zolas Organ Eyes New Teeth Immaculate Machine I was very excited to see Immaculate Machine since [...]
I've got a Saturday afternoon tune for everyone, coming from the Victoria, British Columbia indie-rock band Immaculate Machine . C'Mon Sea Legs can be found on the band's third full-length album Immaculate Machine's Fables , released in the summer of 2007. More recently, the band released their fourth full-length album High on Jackson Hill on April 28th of this year. The album featured a new Immaculate Machine lineup, including new drummer Luke Kozlowski and second guitarist Jordan Minkoff. [...]
