Experimental rock / psych musician Julian Lynch teams up with Montreal's The Luyas for a collaborative tour that stops at PhilaMOCA on June 10th. Acting as both backup and support while alternating headline slots, the two bands will be promoting recent releases with The Luyas' 2012 effort Animator and Lynch's recently released Lines . Lynch, who grew up in Ridgewood, NJ, is often musically connected with his childhood friends in Real Estate and Titus Andronicus. Tickets and more information for the all-ages show will be [...]

Paper Bag Records está cumpliendo su décimo aniversario, y para celebrarlo además de estar preparando una serie de lanzamientos de los que sin duda estaré hablando por aquí en cuanto salgan a la venta, también han reunido a varias de las bandas que le dan vida a su elegante catalogo para crear dar una serie de conciertos para celebrar en grande los 10 años de vida de este sello. Austra , Young Galaxy , The Luyas y You Say Party , son algunas de las bandas que hace algunas semanas estuvieron haciendo lo propio [...]
Every once in a while you happen upon a certain someone who transpires to be as humbly personable as they are unerringly passionate about what it is that they're striving to produce. Chicago-based self-acclaimed "musical soul mates" Karl Briedrick and Marie-Claire Balabanian combine to compose Speck Mountain , and the latter is one such someone aforesaid. Apparently adorable even over the unremitting hiss and spit of a metaphysical transatlantic line, to paraphrase another (though dissimilarly now defunct) boy/ girl duo, I could tell that we could have been friends . "It's not early; it's not late. [...]
As I was watching Dwight Howard's corpse limp lifelessly around the key last night in search of braaaaaaaaaaains, I was hit by an idea to help promote great labels we love. It probably didn't hurt the naming process watching twitter explode over Pau's benching, but the phrase I kept coming back to was "the starting five." So, my idea is pretty simple. Pick a label, and offer up five songs by five of their heaviest hitters. With so much music being recorded at home, and thrown into the abyss, it's time to celebrate the Canadian outlets that are [...]
Animator is the third, and latest, full-length release from Montreal indie rock quintet, The Luyas. This time around the band understandably replace their usual upbeat, echoey pop and pep for somber reflections and serious experimentations, as the album was created in response to the unexpected death of a close friend. What results is a cathartic set of songs that hold in tight tension mood and atmosphere, with orchestrations that alternately sync with and stand in opposition to the melodies. The Luyas include Sara Neufeld (violin, Arcade Fire) and Pietro Amato (horns, Bell Orchestre), Mathieu Charbonneau, Bucky Wheaton, and Jessie Stein [...]

Recuerdo que hace dos años con la aparición del 'witch house' me fui topando con un montón de proyectos cuyos nombres eran realmente dificiles de descifrar, sin embargo debo decir que aunque la mayoría de estos actos se han estado manteniendo en los terrenos de soundcloud de manera discreta, los exponentes de esta rama se han estado convirtiendo en algunos de los productores mas atractivos de los últimos años, lo cual obviamente ha hecho que poco a poco se vayan separando de aquella definición. Pero bueno, esto es un poco de lo que encontraran dentro de esta entrega, así como [...]
It wasn't until the mid-'00s that Canadian independent music began to really make waves this side o' the pond. Broken Social Scene – the rather ironically entitled moniker to Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning's all-encompassing collective – had already released three full-lengths, the '05 eponymous third of which picked up umpteen plaudits here as well as being certified Gold over yonder, selling over 50,000 copies. Indeed, the duo's artistically embracive vehicle united members from such esteemed likes as Stars, and Metric, and Leslie Feist, and Reverie Sound Revue, and Do Make Say Think , and so forth. Startling records [...]
There was a point a little while back, while I was starting to think about this annual post, when I honestly didn't know what would end up being on my list of 10 favourite albums of 2012. In flipping back through my music library from the past year, I had accumulated fewer albums in 2012 than in previous years, so initially it seemed like it would be easy to pick a group of 10 from a shorter list. However, as in years past, of the records that would be eligible for the list, there were a glut of them than [...]

There’s nothing like the death of a close friend to shake you, as Montreal-based experimental pop quartet The Luyas experienced firsthand right before beginning the recording of their third LP, Animator. The resulting sonic therapy is dark, moody and thoughtful, mixing delicate, hollow female vocals with pretty violin arrangements (contributed by Arcade Fire’s Sarah Neufeld), traditional indie-rock beats and an electric zither-type instrument called a Moodswinger. Jessie Stein’s slightly flat, quite quiet and very sad-sounding voice floats in, out and around the album, offering insight to the pain no doubt felt by the entire band. The 9-minute opening [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music , New Releases Paper Bag Don't call the Luyas an indie-pop band. The Montreal band's frontwoman Jessie Stein just doesn't feel like her band belongs there. "I love a good pop song, but I think that our band has been slightly misunderstood by some people," Stein tells Spinner. "I don't think that we were ever really a pop band." Instead, [...]
