Facebook Nestled amidst some concert announcements in a post last week were a couple of odd one-offs for No Joy and PS I Love You which were not part of any announced tour or timely promotional cycle. It didn't occur to me to ask why, but just a little bit of thought would have made the answer obvious - Wavelength . The dates of their shows corresponded to the four-day weekend of the Toronto music series' twelfth anniversary festival, and though neither of those acts is properly local - they [...]
I was not-and still am not-familiar with any of Sandro Perri ' s back catalogue or work as Polmo Polpo , Glissandro 70 , Double Suicide , or Dot Wiggin , but not surprised to hear that the records he made under those various and sundry names were electronic and disco-influenced in nature, given the textures and rhythms on Impossible Spaces , his latest album. Two worlds seemingly collide in these impossible spaces, and do so in phenomenal fashion. Perri the singer/songwriter and Perri the instrumental experimentalist play off one another [...]

I know, I know. Lists are annoying and trying to assign rankings and value to art is subjective at best. That's why these records - 25 from releases that really made an impact on me in '11 - aren't branded with any type of distinction other than "favorite." These are records, not songs, that warmed my heart, eased my pain, inspired my creativity or simply helped tap my toe or nod my head. They never asked for anything more than a listen, and I was more than happy to oblige. That being said, there [...]

Van sommige labels word ik erg blij. Als je een plaat binnenkrijgt van dat betreffende label, dan weet je bijna zeker dat het een goede plaat is. Het Canadese Constellation is zo'n label. Vooral bekend van Godspeed Your Black Emperor...
Tra le pieghe del folle mercato discografico, che accelera ancor più in prossimità della chiusura dell'anno (cioè nel bimestre ottobre-novembre perché a dicembre escono solo raccolte e strenne), è molto facile perdersi delle vere e proprie perle, le stesse che, col tempo, si trasformano in veri fenomeni di culto, per assurgere a vere pietre miliari negli anni successivi. Ci sono poi quei casi insondabili della vita, quelle scintille dovute ad un nome, ad una bislacca associazione di idee, ad un soffio di vento che fanno sì che tali perle destinate ad essere nascoste ti finiscano tra le mani e nelle [...]
Here is this week's music singles chart for the week ending November 20 -26. This week's #1 goes to Toronto's The Wooden Sky with Angelina from their City of Lights EP. Angelina is a nice great folk rock song from the band and a teaser on what to expect on their new album in 2012. There are three new debuts including Drake and Rihanna , Toronto's First Rate People and Little Boots . Check [...]
If you've yet to hear the new one from Sandro Perri , I highly recommend going to your local record shop and picking it up. Great music for a sunny day with a little bite. Reminds me a bit of Arthur Russell. And yes, I would have posted about Impossible Spaces whether or not the cover was a mountain scene. I swear. Read a review here and listen to another track here . MP3: Sandro [...]

Seit geraumer Zeit geht Sandro Perri den Alleingang. Als Solokünstler macht der Kanadier in den verschiedensten Genres eine ausgesprochen gute Figur. Sandro Perri hat bereits an rund einem Dutzend Alben mitgewirkt, sich und seine Person dabei jedoch zumeist im Hintergrund gehalten. Während seine Bandprojekte Polmo Polpo und Glissando 70 Geheimtipps der Post-Rock-Gemeinde geblieben sind, stösst das aktuelle Solo-Album des kanadischen Multiinstrumental isten nun selbst im hiesigen öffentlichen Radio auf offene Ohren. Gemessen am Backkatalog der Montrealer Institution Constellation bewegt sich "Impossible Spaces" in untypisch [...]

![Sandro Perri & Ryan Driver @ Raw Sugar Cafe [November 3, 2011]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3839310_lg.jpg)
It was a lovely show at the Raw Sugar Cafe on November 3, 2011. For those that missed Sandro Perri , it was one great show not to be missed. He was out in full force promoting the new album Impossible Spaces out on Constellation Records . That album is getting rave reviews . The show started off with Ryan Driver from Toronto. He also a band member of Sandro Perri. Mostly a [...]
Líklega besta nýja platan sem ég hef heyrt í nokkrar vikur er platan Impossible Spaces með Toronto-búanum Sandro Perri . Sandro tekst á lúmskan hátt að blanda saman tilraunamennsku og pabbatónlist. Hann notar bæði jazzhljóma, pólýryþma, blásturshljóðfæri og elektróník til að búa til vinalega dramatískt þjóðlagapopp. Kannski hljómar þetta ekki spennandi, en stundum eru það einmitt hlutirnir sem virka ekki á blaði sem virka fullkomlega í hljómi. Það er hægt að hlusta á Impossible Spaces í heild sinni á heimasíðu Constellation Records útgáfunnar, eða þá bara hérna fyrir neðan. Þú gætir [...]

Check out the Top 10. [...]
