Taken on September 28, 2012 On Tuesday night, I was fortunate enough to be interview with two members (John and Ruby) of Yamantaka // Sonic Titan for their documentary. Mostly about their music and what I thought about their amazing live shows. Besides being nervous and excited, it went out without a hitch. Can't wait to see how they shot Raw Sugar Cafe and the "Chinagate" on Somerset St. Forgot to ask them about the name of the documentary. But they said it would be out sometime [...]

Jonathon Bernstein As I mentioned back in October , in a few years - or even sooner - the late Spiral Beach could well be regarded as an important touchstone in the recent history of the Toronto independent scene. Bassist Dorian Wolf now holds down those same duties in internationally-noted electronic act Austra , guitarist Airick Woodhead is garnering heaps of attention as the circuit-bending Doldrums , and the remaining two members - keyboardist/vocalist Maddy Wilde and drummer Daniel Woodhead - have slowly but surely been turning heads as the dreampop-peddling Moon [...]

(Noah Pink) Not many people would say that th ey like being summoned for jury duty, but it's a task I take great joy in, especially when it means I get to listen to hours of music (as a member of the Polaris Music Prize) or watch reels of music videos as part of the inaugural Prism Prize from Canada's best music video. Like all good art, music video making has been on an evolutionary track. In its infancy, videos were nothing more than gimmicky, label-driven [...]

Claire Boucher Whereas the Polaris Music Prize already has a seven year track record of honouring the top Canadian album, the Prism Prize is new on the scene - unaffiliated but sharing a similar mandate, but focused on the art of the music video rather than the album. And while some may have assumed the art form was on the decline due to the fact that their traditional medium - broadcast television - no longer plays them, the internet as well as the low cost of entry to powerful high-definition recording equipment [...]

Vanessa Heins Oh hey so the weekend is upon us and whatever you've got planned, you could do worse than to take an hour and listen to Us Alone , the new album from beloved Toronto singer-songwriter Hayden . What's that, you say? The record isn't out until Tuesday - February 5 - and by then we're back into the work week and you can't find an hour to curl up in a little ball in the corner and weep uncontrollably let alone listen to a charmingly languid collection of folk-pop? Well [...]

Su proyecto budista por excelencia, Yamantaka // Sonic Titan , en estos momentos se encuentra trabajando en la creación de su propio videojuego, y parece ser que no pasara mucho tiempo más para poder tener los detalles completos de este proyecto que seguramente vendrá acompañado de un nuevo EP. Pero mientras esto se llega a confirmar, sigamos dándole una escuchada a los tracks de su debut homónimo que ya está por cumplir casi dos años de haber sido editado, aunque durante el año pasado recibió un tratamiento especial para ser editado [...]
Maybe you can call it "Ming" Tape Sessions? No not really! I was guest hosting/filling-in for Mixtape Session on Tuesdays at 10pm. Since the host was away this week on for "missions unknown". It was a good chance to play the music that I didn't get to play on Photogmusic LIVE . In case you didn't get to hear it, it is available on demand. Click here and listen . Here is the playlist [...]
Weird, post-industrial interpretation of Yamantaka//Sonic Titan 's "Hoshi Neko" track by labelmates Young Galaxy . The post listen: Yamantaka//Sonic Titan - "Hoshi Neko" (Young Galaxy remix) appeared first on Soft Signal .

Bien, ustedes pueden ser sinceros conmigo, realmente les gustó la nueva canción de David Bowie ? Digo, no me vayan a malinterpretar, el hecho de que después de casi 10 años de no soltar nada de nuevo material, y que de la nada haya decidido tomar su sitio oficial para anunciar el lanzamiento de un nuevo álbum y aún mas en pleno festejo de su cumpleaños, es todo un acontecimiento musical. Sin embargo en lo personal, aún tengo mis dudas sobre " Where Are We Now? ". No es una mala canción, e incluso porta con un [...]

Richmond Lam Canadian music is quite often equated with rootsier stylings - which to be fair we do a lot of and well - but we can also get downright trippy when the mood strikes and a couple of the country's finest exemplars of this are back with new records this Spring. Montreal's Besnard Lakes have completed the follow-up to 20102s The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night and if the title - Until In Excess, Imperceptible UFO - is any indication, [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Holy Hell , New Releases YAMANTAKA // SONIC TITAN Toronto-and-Montreal noh-rock collective YAMANTAKA//SONIC TITAN have just a half-dozen southern Ontario dates on their current tour to promote last year's re-release of their debut album, YT//ST , by Paper Bag Records. But it's with good reason. On top of working on that album's much anticipated follow up, the band are currently hard at work on their very own [...]

I was really excited for this show at Zaphod Beeblebrox on January 11th. Sort of Déjà vu from last year but in a different venue and early show time. It was also a packed show thanks to the buzz and being on the Polaris Music Prize Shortlistfrom the headlining band they had from 2012. Talking about the show with: • Yamantaka // Sonic Titan • Boyhood [...]
