The Ford Pier Vengeance Trio: local post-punk artrock spazzpop concern puts the listener in mind of classic showtunes of a bygone age dressed up in that paramilitary-looking hexagonal mesh fabric all the superhero costumes seem to be made of, or of the condition of one engaged in the act of carrying something heavy downstairs without being able to perceive how many steps are left. They are marking their tenth anniversary with the release of a new album, Expensive Tissue, available now.

Limbs of the Stars
Called “a thinking person’s musical feast” by the Georgia Straight, this unhurried, filmic group is autumnal, masterfully paced, and strangely beautiful. Featuring three members of Fond of Tigers, Limbs of the Stars shares some of that band's propulsive, odd-time rhythm weirdness and visceral impact, while exploring a darker, more minimalist sonic territory.

Michael & the Slumberland Band
You’ll hear the music of Michael & the Slumberland Band coming from the 3rd floor of a creaking 100 year old West End apartment on cold rainy nights. There, in the music room, surrounded by a collection of xylophones, broken chord organs, and ancient hand drums, Michael creates post-apocalyptic soundscapes with lyrics drawn from nightmares, influenced by equal parts horror, fantasy, and science.

Vancouver-based Emily Mordecai (of her cherished band Tulip) creates an aesthetic of gloomy brick walls with sunshine pouring through the cracks. Her enchantingly eerie sounds and lyrics are drawn from world travels and deep introspection.
