Redline Racer - Night Stalker

Do you own a motorbike? If you do it almost certainly doesn't have a radio, so listening to NAS is going to be a stationary affair for the likes of you. Night Stalker is a little ditty from Canadian producer Redline Racer. It's got almost nothing to do with the 1998 PC game that shares the producer's name. I say almost nothing because if this track had been included in the game it surly would of been a smash hit. Taking cues from french electro and chunks of computer game history, Night Stalker is deceptively simple but enjoyable for those long haul night driving sessions.

Women - Eyesore

Sure, there's a certain irony when a band of four men call themselves Women. But I'll overlook that because it's all about the music rather than the name as one might say. I remember the Calgary quartet releasing this track to the interwebs quite some time ago without too much fanfare. Pity, because this track is really something special. Slow drum beats and sharp lo-fi guitar plucking litter the first half of Eyesore. The real magic happens in the latter half when the closing riff makes a proud entrance. It will be a long time before I get tired of this track. Although I've not heard any other tracks from the new album...

Women's new album, Public Strain, is set for release on 28/9 via Jagjaguwar.

PS I Love You - 2012

It has been a brilliant week for those who like a bit of fuzz up distortion rammed into their ears at a million miles per hour. Not only did we get new tracks from No Age, but Canadian noise-pop duo, PS I Love You dropped a new one on us as well. The new track, 2012 is way cooler than the Hollywood film. It's one of those tracks that can only be fully appreciated at maximum volume. For me it was the stand out track, nothing came even close to 2012's tight hooks and distorted barrage this week. Their debut LP,  Meet Me at the Muster Station will be hitting the streets on October 5th on Paper Bag.

Japan Sue - Bright Lights

Apparently Mark Webber isn't content with being a highly skilled race car driver... Oh wait, wrong guy. This particular Mark Webber is better known for his work in Neon Canyon. He's got a couple of other interesting projects, but Japan Sue is a stand out. Webber is joined by vocalist Kira Sawatzky on the track "Bright Lights" for an art-pop explosion that will blow your mind.
