Playing Catch Up: Canyons

You know - having real jobs can (shockingly) get in the way of blogging. Therefore - we're going to hit you with a few cool items, that may be short on copy, but long on quality. The first up is Canyons' new release Keep Your Dreams out this week on Modular. We've been following this Aussie duo's string of varied singles and videos, all different, yet singularly cohesive in their bold use of angular guitars, dark synth, house rhythms and solid melodies.

Blog Reel and CMJ Hiatus

Hey kiddies - we're going to be out and about all week sacrificing sleep and sobriety researching the coolest and hottest new BUZZ bands for your enjoyment in subsequent blog posts - all while diligently working our real jobs to the fullest. So, that being said, we won't be posting for the rest of the week. Enjoy the below videos for now. See you at the rock show.

Canyons: My Rescue

Canyons: "My Rescue"

Continuing with our love for... Australian dudes and naked chicks (?) we wanted to share another amazing track from the folks over at Modular, this time in the form of the new single "My Rescue" from Western Australian duo Canyons. Along with guys in Bag Raiders, there seems to be an amazing amount of quality content coming out of Australia right now (more than usual). "My Rescue" certainly has more of a radio-friendly pop bent to it (dare we make a Bono reference?) but the diverse instrumentation, deep-ringing piano chords, and yes, pulsing synths keep this track well to the left of middle of the road radio fodder. The 'My Rescue' digital bundle and 12", featuring remixes by Eric Duncan (Rub N Tug/Still Going), Stallions & Wooden Ships, will be out November 9th in the US with a full length in 2011. Definitely a lot to be looking forward to from this duo. Hear the track above.
