The overall state of the universe has just improved considerably tonight with the release of the next installment of awesomeness in its purest form (we apologize for our probably inappropriate enthusiasm), the latest collaborative effort of our dearest
Beko Digital Singles Label with one of our all-time favorite labels, Montréal's
Hobo Cult Records.
Naturally, the ten-track compilation features many NFOP darlings we've been featuring repeatedly, among them Rachel Evans aka
Motion Sickness Of Time Travel,
Sundrips,
Panabrite, Grant Evans aka
Nova Scotian Arms, and label founder Frank Ouellette's own projects
Pradada and
Hobo Cubes, frankly without doubt the finest that contemporary psychedelic and experimental music has to offer right now. You see us psyched.
I could post all the wonderful tracks here, but I'll leave you with MSOTT and the collection's biggest surprise, the first track to surface from the brand new project of Montréal's Christian Richer (otherwise known as
Élément Kuuda, also on the comp) named The Haiduks, brilliant off-kilter indie pop made for the forthcoming summertime. So enjoy these two tunes (and Ouellette's accompanying
Moduli TV video for
Use Up My Time) right away, and then cop the whole thing for free
over here.
The Haiduks - Use Up My Time
Motion Sickness Of Time Travel - Beside the Quilted Lake
