A lot happened this year. I booked my first show. I started a new job. I made 33 episodes of Indie-licious. I wrote 24 pieces for Weird Canada.

No one really asked for this list, but then I got carried away and now here we are. Songs are roughly sorted into clusters that sound nice together. Support your local community!

Harsh psychedelic noise from Vancouver’s No Spectrum should wake you up (by melting your brain)

Vancouver experimental drones No Spectrum are a happy accident. They are roughly collated sounds, sometimes unlistenable on their own, but when stacked and pressed against each other, they form a navigational tunnel into a fractal universe.

I stumbled across this band while aimlessly wandering on Soundcloud. Senators was uploaded a few months ago by semi-mysterious account All My Evils (aka Rónan McGrath). I can’t find any other information about No Spectrum – I suspect this is Rónan’s new project after SXA ORMBJÜMENT (Bollokscraft Records), which is some of the most soothing and delicate strange stuff you could submit your ears to. You can download that here.

Anyways, I can’t be bothered to do any more research because it is too early, I am probably going to be late for work, because I illustrated until 2am last night. When I find out more information on No Spectrum, you’ll be the first to know. Rónan, feel free to throw me a bone if I’m totally making stuff up here.
