New Stars Video ‘Riot’

When I heard the kid on the bus say that he was coming into the city from Coboconk, a ton of memories came flooding back. No, I didn’t end up in Toronto after a fateful 2 hour bus ride when I was a teen, but I had a cottage on Silver lake, just outside of this town of 800 (I assume this number has gone up…). You might have heard about this town in the news in the last couple years when it was discovered that a store owner was keeping and cashing in winning lottery tickets from unsuspecting customers.

Here is Take Me To The Riot by Stars, the first single off the upcoming In Our Bedroom After The War. The song really doesn’t stray from what Stars do best. Songs building to the signature chorus of chaos, non-offensive drums playing double time with sweet girl boy harmonies.

Head over to I Guess I’m Floating to grab the mp3.

Handsome Furs

Kind of feels like I’ve been on vacation here. Sporadic posting and dust collecting on the site here. Heard something really nice though that I’d like to get out there.

Handsome Furs

Enter the Handsome Furs. Two-piece from Montreal comprised of Dan Boeckner and Alexei Perry. You might recognize his voice if you’ve been listening to music coming out of Montreal in the past couple of years. He also is one of the main voices from another Sub Pop approved band, Wolf Parade. There is something about his voice… I still remember hearing It’s A Curse on the CBC Radio 3 podcast years ago. Couldn’t even find the EP in Toronto at that point.
I dig the more minimal sound of this new project. Plague Park is their debut, due out May 22nd. It’s a “record of melancholic tendency and heartfelt desire; a stripped down symphony relegated between city and country, and made for ears of either side.”

On the bands’ myspace you can hear a track called Handsome Furs Hate This City, or check out their video for Dumb Animals here. Finally, head to I Guess I’m Floating to hear Dead + Rural.

Oh wait!! Toronto show announcement.
