The Second Old Life Records Compilation

(Old Life) CD
A genuine article of note within the confines of our fun little shanty town here on Vancouver Island! Old Life Records is a meshed web of some of Victoria’s most promising new-ish groups. Swapping roles, instruments, vocal duties, styles, vibes, clothes & hi-fives, the Old Life camp inevitably recall Broken Social Scene’s tendril-like sprawl of indie-rock & some of it’s fun cousins. Label big guns Dreamboat, Colourbook, Cobras Cobras Cobras & Balacade feature here (all in fine form), but Vol. 2 also illuminates the talents of (relative) newcomers Onaping Falls, The Macadamia Brothers, Blanck, Mount Royal & Almonds, Cohen. Quiet folky ballads, twee-pop, dancey electro, laptop ditties & good ol’ rockin racket all appear here. We’re excited to hear what this collective produces over the next little while.
PS – the comp is only $3.00!
