Album Review: Idles - Tangk

Words: Ben Forrester At the back end of 2021, Idles seemed to come out of nowhere with their most ambitious record to date. ‘Crawler’ was an amalgamation of everything the Bristolian five piece had worked towards on their previous three LP’s, whilst pushing everything from lo-fi electronics, soul grindcore and black metal into the mix. Personally, I put it up there as one of the band’s finest…

PJ Harvey - “A Child’s Question, August”

Photo by Steve Gullick

For her part, Polly Jean Harvey has done more than her fair share with her art in bringing to the surface everyday grievances within our society and the ugliness of politics’ impact in eroding this world. This makes “A Child’s Question, August”, the lead single from the alternative rock songwriter’s forthcoming tenth studio album, I Inside the Old Year Dying, an anomaly in that scheme. Still, it’s in consistency with her perpetual desire to evolve her music beyond what came before it and offer her audience mind food that gives cause to examine one’s place in all that they do. “Love me tender / Tender love,” she sings in refrain over a steady, cushed drum timbre. Guitar chords ring through a fog imagery of naturistic themes in flux, and as the she and the listen move through the scenery, we’re graced by yet another dimension of PJ Harvey’s specter over the universe, stilling haunting us even in her most comforting form.

Directed by: Steve Gullick & PJ Harvey

CONCERT REVIEW: CIGARETTES AFTER SEX AT VOGUE THEATRE - SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2022

September 13th is a crisp night in Vancouver for Cigarettes After Sex — a wildly popular and anticipated show due to the band’s last album being released in 2019 at the onset of the pandemic. Lead singer, guitarist, and founder of the band, Greg Gonzalez, with Randall Miller on bass and Jacob Tomsky on drums commanded the stage at The Vogue with sensual, dreamy shoegaze and indie rock.

What I love about concerts from bands that were at the height of their popularity during the “indie sleaze,” 2012- era of Tumblr is the fact that the crowd really goes out for a full experience. That isn’t a slight to Cigarettes After Sex or their fans — I, too, dressed up. The crowd was prepared for a night of escape and lurid romance, and I loved seeing everyone dress the part in black, leather, and old merch.

My friend actually mentioned to me that a Cigarettes After Sex concert would be boring, but honestly it was far from it. Gonzalez’ vocals are made for The Vogue, with his almost operatic, sometimes referred to as “androgynous” tone filling the theater. The band started off strong with crowd pleaser “Crush,” and although the stage had little by way of set design, it felt intimate.

Gonzalez and his bandmates did not partake in a lot of banter with the crowd, but I think that added to their allure as performers. You don’t see a Cigarettes After Sex concert to laugh and cheer — you see them to engulf yourself in the music and feel it in your stomach. By the time “Affection” rolled around, followed by “Falling in Love,” a lot of the couples in the pit took to swaying together, closing their eyes and enjoying the experience.

Another highlight was definitely the song “Cry,” a personal favourite and perhaps one of their most popular songs. For this, they projected a woman’s sad face on the curtains of the stage. There is something about this song that is so guttural and heart-wrenching, that I think everyone should hear it live once. Gonzalez’ smoldering guitar and contemplative lyrics accompanied by the light snare of the drums felt very human.

The band performed a lot of favourites, including “Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby,” “Apocalypse” and a cover of REO Speedwagon’s “Keep on Loving You.” Although one might critique that Cigarettes After Sex produce the same kind of smoky, simmering, sad song, they were all very enjoyable to listen to. I think this is the kind of music to listen to live, making a great concert experience.

The setlist was shorter than most with the show running just around an hour. They concluded on “Opera House” – my second favourite song, which they put a spin on by slowing the first part of the tempo – and “Dreaming of You.” It felt like an intimate concert despite the larger, packed venue. I also heard that a bunch of people bought fake tickets from a fan page for the show that night, and the band asked The Vogue to try and sell more tickets and cram more people in than they usually would. It just goes to show how deeply Cigarettes After Sex cares about their fans, and their ability to experience and listen to their music.

Just Mustard Album Review: Heart Under

(Partisan)

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Irish rock quintet Just Mustard thrive on a minimal formula, especially on their second album Heart Under. Self-produced and mixed by David Wrench (Audiobooks), Heart Under emphasizes the contrast between lead singer Katie Ball’s vocals--gentle in timbre but somehow menacing--and the absolute dirge of the instrumentation. Take opener “23″: Ball begins with a whispery, brooding, echoing delivery that melts among David Noonan’s and Mete Kaylon’s swirling, sharp guitars, Rob Clarke’s throbbing bass, and Shane Maguire’s meaty drums. “It’s just a picture / I cannot feel it / The way I felt it / I should have cherished,” she sings. Even if you don’t know what inspired Ball’s words, you can sense her reflective regret. These vague moods propel Heart Under, uneasy in their ambiguity.

Just as much as Just Mustard know what makes them tick, they know that a little change can go a long way; even if they’re not straying from their overall sound, over the course of an album, tweaks are exponential in effect. “I Am You” and closer “Rivers” are slow burns, building up atmospherically, while a track like “In Shade” employs a pseudo drumline. “Still” and “Blue Chalk” flourish with a loud-quiet-loud dynamic; the latter especially starts out ambient before introducing the thumping drum beat and swirling noise that threatens to obscure Ball’s voice. “Sore”, on the other hand, allows Ball to soar (no pun intended), as the instrumentation crunches in between her verses rather than on top of them. “And I lost the words,” she sings, then repeating, “And I” as if to demonstrate her claim. The band lets the music do the talking.

The band’s choice to have Ball take full-time lead vocals (as opposed to splitting them with Noonan like on previous releases) is inspired because of its instrumental qualities. But the one track where Noonan does harmonize with Ball is an effective standout. On “Mirrors”, they sing monotonously, “Look in the mirror staring someone else in the eye / Stand for a minute watching someone else staring back.” The line belies the cliché of “not recognizing yourself in the mirror.” It’s exemplary of the absolute misery of losing yourself in a routine. Not only hearing the album but listening to Ball’s words, it makes sense that Heart Under was written under lockdown. When she sings, “Twist me, I’ve been floating,” on album closer “Rivers”, it’s a plea for a course of action in the grey of indecision, a resonant statement for the times.
