TRUST
Born out of desperation in the brutal Canadian winter of 2009, Robert Alfons and Maya Postepski began writing songs about nostalgia, lust, and erotomania. TRUST combine dark synth arpeggios, live and programmed drum beats with haunting, effected vocals. What begins in the genre of minimal synth progresses into a sort of slow-techno that is equal parts introspective cold-wave and extroverted 808 dance beats. Their debut video directed by Eva Michon, shows a playful side to the duo as they ride around nature on a motorbike together, later though, it hints at the pair's darker undercurrent when an Equus inspired incident unfolds. "Candy Walls" is a gorgeous and unapologetically sexual debut, which will be heavily blogged about. It's an undeniable beat matched with a stunning and unique aesthetic.
MOZART'S SISTER
Mozart's Sister is the captivating solo project of Montreal's Caila Thompson-Hannant. Staggering between beautiful, bursting synth-filled pop melodies and the complicated, often harsh consequences of reality in her lyrics, she unites these elements together in an explosion of vibrant emotion and hypnotizing intensity.
Taking shape in early 2011, Mozart's Sister thrives on complex layering, melding upbeat, sparkling dance loops with tremendous, belting vocals, only to morph into pulsating sci-fi drones and dark rhythms atop sensuous, assertive vocals.
This sense of unexpected fluidity and change flows throughout Dear Fear, her self-recorded and self-released debut EP of 2011, dancing between the rhapsody and destructive components of sex, love and relationships. Labeled "bedroom paranoia," Dear Fear explores the wild, untamed energy manifested within the confines of one's own space and the inner power developed to break down these walls. In "Don't Leave It To Me," Thompson-Hannant belts, "I wrote this song after I met you," a statement that Pitchfork praises, "if it resulted in a pop gem like this – you're left feeling grateful for that chance encounter."
Influenced by mainstream R & B and Prince, '90s trip-hop and Björk, and the current shift in electronic music, Thompson-Hannant incorporates this sense of collage into her work, constantly transforming her voice and sound against a gorgeous, direct aesthetic with an uncontainable passion and sense of expression. Mixed in with the sassy, riveting confidence of defining groups like TLC and Salt-N-Pepa, Mozart's Sister is also both influenced by and a part of the groundbreaking modern Montreal electronic music scene, characterized with the same vigor and charisma as such female contemporaries she's shared the stage with, Grimes and tUnE-yArDs.
GUARDIAN
Guardian, the sonic manifestation of visions found within the depths of shared dreams and fantasies. We are attuned to the memories of an unbridled youth from a time and place not quite our own. Resonant impressions fill our reveries. The darkest corners of neon nightclubs, anonymous sex in bar bathrooms, the hazy drug induced drive home. Guardian meld these visions into a single cohesive musical aesthetic. This is the soundtrack for when daydreams become real.
