A bit of rolling, urgent Indie Punk for a Monday morrning. Montreal's Feeling Figures latest record. Migration Magic. Why not? I'm not dead yet.
I liked this instantly and devoured it at a single sitting. Feeling Figures have an Independent and roving spirit. I was reminded of the great American Rock underground rennaissance of the early Eighties that excited me so in my late teenage years.
Each track starts from a different place and heads for its own destination with breakneck urgency.Feeling Figures don't always play in tune but have no real desire to. This has a ramshackle emergy and momentum that's a rush to witness and experience.
First mate Darren Jones has directed me here, once more.Excellent work Darren. In the words of the press release ' unconstrained synthesis of multiple areas of indie rock, psychedelia, folk and outsider pop.' I couldn't put it better myself.
Glad you liked it, Bruce! Ramshackle is the best description, and something I'm always attracted to. Like it could fall apart, or shift, at any moment. Lovely stuff!
ReplyDeleteAnother terrific find.
