Shalabi Effect (alien8recordings.com)Music from Montreal
Host David Garland visited Montreal recently, and has returned with evidence of its vital, intriguing music scene. Rents are still pretty cheap up there, and artists and musicians from Canada and elsewhere have gathered to experiment and share their work. Bands such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and A Silver Mount Zion have helped bring international attention to Montreal, and Garland speaks with Ian, one of the founders of Constellation, the feisty independent label that issues music by those bands and others.
We'll also hear from the groups Set Fire to Flames, and Shalabi Effect, and a few musicians making "folktronica" with laptops and acoustic instruments: Cian Ethrie, Peter + Petite Musique, and others. American Brian Lipson lives in Montreal these days, and we'll hear some of his surprising songs and trumpet drones. Here's a chance to hear some great but little-known music!
