"half my life a ghost in the night"


Coming soon on Cassettes Records:
GOLD RUSH







Recorded on four-track and digital hardware pegged in the red. Drums and bass together on cassette tape and all the afterwards on one hot summer night, two cases of Pilsner, red eyes and a pot of coffee in each cup, stayed up until 7a.m. putting this one together. Snowy and cold punk rock, dirgy and sick pop that sounds like the city of Edmonton in the middle of June. Wet and dry, hot and cold, loud and quiet, somewhere between lying and telling the truth. Traces of Sebadoh, Eric's Trip, Black Flag, the Beatles, Califone, the Germs; somewhere underneath a liar of icy lo-fi slush.

Gold Rush is Trevor Rutley, Owen Strasky and Jon Mick. Expect this lo-fi beast out on July 24, 2009.

This is my pick for song of the year:





Love,
The Wild Dogs.
