A huge thank-you to all the fans, new friends and lovers of Hua Li, ¡Flist!, Saxsyndrum and DirtyOrgans for coming out to our very first ANL Showcase. That’s a wrap for us for 2014, but we’re bursting at the seams with videos, tours, and releases for next year.
Extra special kisses to Tyler Reekie for providing us with live visuals at Brasserie Beaubien, and Robby Reis for these photos!
Live video of ¡FLIST!‘s electrifying performance at la SAT on November 14th for their album launch via Exclaim! to keep you warm over the hollydaze. Live visuals by Frances Adair McKenzie, shot by Robby Reis and Kaja Levy. The show was part of Party Like it’s 1699‘s run in the Satosphère dome in Montreal this November and M for Montreal.
Purify Your Soul was also featured on Wavelength’s top 100 Canadian tracks of 2014. Charlie Twitch and the ANL crew have been hard at work on a series of music videos for Fuck You Im Dead that you can expect in 2015. Stay tuned!
The ever gracious Chart Attack have premiered the new video for Saxsyndrum’s Maceonectar, a vibrant and pulsing saxophone odyssey visually narrated by none other than Frances Adair McKenzie.
For me, listening to this piece is like a walk at sunrise (post-meditation) through a tropical aviary. The bird song elements and their disarming inorganic quality are what inspired the video’s looping, giffy style and the bright, bouncy, flickering and lo-fi aesthetic. – Frances Adair via Chart Attack
Maceonectar was first unvelied in October on XLR8R, taken from their new SXD_EP, released November 4th. Head over to our shop and get a copy of the limited edition cassette!.
