V/A - Let Me See That Other Hand: The Now Sound of Montreal -
As the title suggests, this is a tape comp of current Montreal bands, moving from psychedelic other worldly sounds to hipster garage punk (this is a descriptor, not an insult, the JESUSLESFILLES track is great) and featuring one of the best Oi! tracks I’ve ever heard in THE AVERSIONS’ ”Bloodstained Shoes”. A laid back synth number from BOBO BOUTIN is followed by a total electro-punk burner from MINGO L’INDIEN, and this makes for a well rounded and top quality sampler of the shit going on in Montreal, from punk to indescribable ”others”. I’m sure there are a lot more ”Now Sounds” to be heard, but every city can’t make a box set and you have to start somewhere. (ROBERT)
