lyrics

Sweetness
I am backed into a corner
I am out of moves
Sunday
Sparrows sang of a disaster
Open the bottle and pass it around

Sheets of rain fall into the night
Over streets and houses
Sounds of unsheathing, the glint of a knife
As the city closes
Falling down upon the ground
Low, low, low
Down, down, down
Low, low, low
Down, down, down

Scimitar handshakes that twist in my side
Thrust from darkened hallways
Sinister smiles, so hard and so bright
Thrust from darkened hallways
Lying still upon the ground
Low, low, low
Down, down, down
Low, low, low
Down, down, down

I retreat
And stumble out beneath descending roses
Destiny has passed me by
And I don’t know why…
I am low

about

The High Dials Montréal, Québec

The High Dials are an indie pop band from Montreal.
While their melodic sensibility, harmonies and jangling guitars owe an obvious debt to the 60s and power pop groups, they also draw upon shoegaze, new wave and folk sounds to create rich and varied albums. Their most recent album “Primitive Feelings” is a predatory summer mix of lo-fi grooves, acid rock guitars and razor-sharp humour. ... more

Sphaera
by Tinsoldierman (Trevor Anderson)

Draws on John Barry, Hammer films, old sci-fi/erotiica and first-wave electronica of bands like Tangerine Dream and Pink Floyd to create a unique psychedelic space opera about the heavenly bodies. The High Dials

Sloan breaks absolutely NO new ground on their newest record. And I couldn't care less. Because when the songs are this good, nothing else matters. This kicks ass. Todd Leiter-Weintraub
