Miracle Fortress - Miscalculations
Miracle Fortress, the Montreal synthpop group led by Think About Life's Graham Van Pelt, has a new video for "Miscalculations," a twinkling sigh of a song from their Was I The Wave? album. The video collects Hipstamatic-style footage from the band's recent North American tour, and it's funny to see present-day stuff made to look like '70s home movies. As a special bonus, we get to see the Dallas Mavericks win the NBA Title all over again, and I'm pretty sure that'll never get old. Debbie So directs. Watch it below. Read [...]

Raw Spectacle

Apr 6, 2011, 12:25pm Soft Signal
It's been awhile since we've heard anything from Graham Van Pelt under his Miracle Fortress moniker. The last time was way back in 2007 on the Polaris Prize shortlisted Five Roses , and since then it seemed as if the project might have been abandoned, with Van Pelt opting to concentrate on his other band, Think About Life, instead. But it seems that Van Pelt isn't the kind of artist that can be tied to any one project. Miracle Fortress is set to release their sophomore LP, Was I The Wave? , on April 26 via Secret City, and [...]

POP MONTREAL Show Guide

Sep 27, 2010, 5:30am Midday Procrastination
POP MONTREAL Show Guide This year's Pop Montreal is lookin' like one for the books. The ever-so-good Said the Gramophone wrote up an excellent guide for this year's Pop Montreal. Basing this post off that and the POP MONTREAL site, I'm gonna go through what would be a pretty ideal long weekend of music and then we'll see how close I come to accomplishing it. Pop Montreal starts Wednesday, September 29th and the fun doesn't stop until Sunday, October 3rd. * Underlined shows/events are ones I will foreseeably be going to. Sometimes, there are overlaps (Thursday's a [...]

Bestival 2010 - Review (Part 3)

Sep 15, 2010, 7:01am Breaking More Waves
Bestival 2010 - Review (Part 3) One of the greatest things about Bestival (besides the Women's Institute Tea Tent, Forum Campsite and Fancy Dress day on Saturday) is the music. With rain clouds and mud making an appearance it was the music more than anything that did its very best to blow the grey clouds away. Berkshire 4 piece Worship was the first band to grace the poorly named Rock N Roll stage on Saturday (a stage that during the weekend would feature pop, dance and acoustic folk - hardly Rock N Roll). Worship were the [...]

THE RECOMMENDER – THINK ABOUT LIFE

Think About Life /// Sweet Sixteen
THINK ABOUT LIFE To be honest, we aren't exactly shy of contrasts and comparisons on this blog. Upon hearing a tune for the first time it's in our nature to immediately liken it's components to that of other music we've previously heard. We all do it, don't we? Well, how would you like to hear our strangest musical allegory to date? We think we just heard Win Butler , of Arcade Fire fame, fronting The Go Team ! That's what smacked our imagination full in the face upon pressing play on the brilliant tune, [...]

Broken Social Scene at Criminal Records in Toronto

May 11, 2010, 8:26am Chromewaves
Broken Social Scene at Criminal Records in Toronto Frank Yang A local scribe much wiser than I recently pointed out that everyone - in Canada and Toronto specifically - has some baggage when it comes to Broken Social Scene , and you can take it from the fact that I'm quoting him that I wholly agree. This is the band that, for good and bad, came to be the musical ambassadors for Toronto to the world, would become pretty much inescapable both in the music world and the real world (swing a stick in Toronto, hit a BSS-er) and launched a thousand bands with [...]

Friday Remixes

May 7, 2010, 2:02pm Cause=Time
Friday Remixes My predictions for the Nuggets were flat wrong last week. I'm left to root for Los Suns. This is what my NBA viewing has come down to. Sigh. When does the NFL training camp start? We have about a month to go for the World Cup to start, but the playing times are 8:30 AM or noon if I'm not mistaken. So who's ready for "Iron Man 23? My only beef with the movie is the continued use of Gwneth Paltrow. That chick has ZERO presence and KELIS - ACAPELLA (ACID WASHED [...]

Monday: Los Campesinos! + Cymbals Eat Guitars @ Irving Plaza 9pm $20 [ tix ] Thanks to the volcano whose name I dare not type (it's really hard), Los Campesinos! have been sitting somewhere in Europe waiting to get their U.S. tour off and rolling.

Sarah Harmer returns to set Little Fire Facebook There was welcome and unexpected news in the inbox yesterday morning with the announcement that Sarah Harmer was back. It didn't seem like she'd been away that long, but now that I think about it, the last time I saw her in any context was at Wolfe Island in 2007 with the reunited Weeping Tile , and it's been almost five years since the release of her last album I'm A Mountain .
