Slim Twig: "Contempt!" album review

Apr 27, 2009, 6:50am Snob's Music
Contempt! is the forthcoming debut album from Toronto musician/actor Slim Twig. The album will be available April 28th in Canada and May 19th in the US.The album combines lo-fi production techniques with swirling electronics and a found sound theme. On some tracks, like the frenetic opener "Young Hussies" or the piano plunker "Estate Intrusion", this combination works relatively well.

Toadcast #65 - The Clustercast

Apr 18, 2009, 8:05am Song, by Toad
Toadcast #65 - The Clustercast As you might expect from the title, this is one ungodly clusterfuck of a podcast. It was recorded well into the early hours of the morning with Dylan , Neil and DC who were all in the house by virtue of Homegame being imminent (happening already by the time you hear this) and the Meursault EP being in the final stages of completion. DC stopped by the house on his way to Fife, Neil was around to put CDs into card envelopes and Dylan, er, just likes beer I think. There's was also [...]

Slim Twig [Feature Band]

Apr 13, 2009, 10:00am Fensepost
Slim Twig [Feature Band] At first, I wasn't sure what to think of Slim Twig . First, there's the name; it evokes imagery of a ghastly, gangly fellow, which Slim certainly is. Then there's the music. It's bizarre and it's strange. But after two minutes, it starts becoming... really, really good. "Young Hussies" is a title that's not very striking, one likely to cause strife with those leaning feminist. But as a tune, it's easy to get drawn in if you can muster through the obscurity of experimentation. It's [...]

Mansion haunting

Apr 12, 2009, 10:00am Quick Before It Melts
Mansion haunting (photo: Matt O'Sullivan) I don't even know where or how to start to describe Slim Twig to the uninitiated. Fuzzy, droning rockabilly that sometimes lacks both direction and tune, his pair of EPs released/reissued earlier this year are still oddly intriguing. Where someone giving Twig a passing glance may just hear tuneless babbling, a closer listen reveals a very self-assured performer who has invested himself wholeheartedly into his music. He's vulgar, vivid, cryptic and caustic; he's definitely not The Acorn. And yet, Slim Twig is [...]

Wombats in Love / Wavelength

Wombats in Love / Wavelength ( Note: I'm mentioning last night's Wombat Wednesdays Valentine's special after the fact, because a) February curator Magali Meagher has several more Wombat Wednesdays scheduled this month, and b) several performers have upcoming shows, including Gentleman Reg's in-store and CD release, and Levi Macdougall & Katie Crown at Laugh Sabbath and, well, my shows . The Wombats in Love show was slated for a profile yesterday on the site, but I've been a busy fella, and I [...]

Wavelength turns nine, throws a party Davida Nemeroff Seminal new music showcase Wavelength - across whose stage pretty much every Toronto indie band of note from the last decade or so has passed - celebrates its ninth anniversary next month and as they've done pretty much every year that I can remember, they're marking the occasion with a full weekend of shows at venues all across the city. The full lineup was announced over the holidays, and the evenings of February 12 through the 15th will look something like this: On the 12th it's spooky folk [...]

AWmusic's Top Songs of 2008 pt 2: #51-75

AWmusic's Top Songs of 2008 pt 2: #51-75 I forgot to mention that these top songs are still very personal opinions despite trying to take as many suggestions of the rest of the writers. I'm not sure how people will respond to the list, numbering isn't quite as important as inclusion . I like taking suggestions as there will be millions of tracks I likely missed. As is the goal with this list, 10-limit descriptions included. Previously: #76-100 Numbers #51-75: #51 Creator by Santogold w/ Switch and Freq Nasty ( myspace / video -unofficial was [...]

Slim Twig's Vernacular Violence Review

Oct 4, 2008, 6:50pm AWmusic
Slim Twig's Vernacular Violence Review Slim Twig - Vernacular Violence After some self-releases, Slim Twig signed with Paper Bag Records to release the Derelict Dialect EP on April 1st, followed soon after by this EP. He describes his own genre as "concrete rockabilly," but Slim Twig's music is unlike anything I've heard. The music here creates atmosphere using a variety of subdued techniques. "Brothl Hunting" sounds like a group of computers approximating a rockabilly rhythm, "Street Proposition" brings to mind the image of the house band of a dark saloon playing a beat that never changes, [...]

Reviews:: Slim Twig Vernacular Violence

Sep 17, 2008, 1:22pm Herohill
Reviews:: Slim Twig Vernacular Violence myspace :: buy from Zunior Slim Twig is not going to warm the hearts of many listeners. He's raw and unpredicatable, samples from a unique set of influences, and the job of introducing electro-billy into the mainstream is not one I'd really want to entertain. That being said – unlike one reviewer who I usually see eye to eye on – I found myself enjoying his Vernacular Violence EP and the new take on some of his classic material. Much in the same way a [...]

The Tracey Fragments Soundtrack

Sep 16, 2008, 11:57am nialler9
I remember hearing about Broken Social Scene doing a soundtrack last year but never followed up on it. I have my hands on it now and It's rather good. The film in question stars Ellen Page and concerns her character searching for her little brother (who thinks he's a dog) in the dark underbelly of a city (Trailer here ). The soundtrack has some exclusive Broken Social Scene songs as well as the strange Patti Smith cover below with Liz Powell on vocals. They share the tracklisting with some impressive material from The [...]

NXNE Day 3: The Luyas, Slim Twig and The Oholics

Jun 18, 2008, 11:59pm Wolves, Hawks and Kites
Another day and more NXNE . Don't worry, this is the last installment of my coverage this year-and it ended with a Swedish bang. Lethargic after the herculean day of shows (and booze) that was last Friday , I took my sweet time leaving the ol' basement apartment on Saturday. Unfortunately that was my first mistake, as places like the Horseshoe and Rivoli were lined up down the block by the time I made my way to Queen West. My second mistake was not having a backup location in mind-not to mention leaving my [...]
