Peripheral Vision: More Songs About Error And Shame
ByThe Canadian quartet shares a decade-long history of live performance that translates to a collective focus of vision in the studio, on a set of seamless, splintery compositions, all from the pens of bassist either Michael Herring or guitarist Don Scott.
The tunes originate from a broad swath of inspirations: a immersion in the songwriters' neurotic psyche, art (Catalonian artist Miro), literature and stand-up comedy, and the influential and groundbreaking Talking Heads pop group.
Everything is on edge here, and the edge is razor sharp. A few hundred (or so) live shows together have shaped the band into a homeostatic organism. The "orchestrator" mixing and "additional recording" guy Jean Martin has nudged the new life form's evolution into a slightly higher path, in the creation of a sounds that tread some of the darker, more neurotic sonic alleyways.
