BONNIE TRASH // HAIL, HALE! (EP) SHADES OF YOU (VIDEO)

BONNIE TRASH, Canadian-Italian twin sisters Emmalia and Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor, share “Shades Of You” video from their new Hail, Hale! EP out March 1st worldwide via Hand Drawn Dracula.

The EP is also included as bonus tracks on the new deluxe CD edition of their debut album Malocchio, also out March 1st via France’s dark wave / goth imprint Unknown Pleasures Records (EU/UK).

Commenting on the track and video, the band say: “This song is about the bumps on your skin when you’re scared and the jolt in your legs just before you fall asleep. Who or what is causing this? Something or someone is haunting you and it lingers. We initially shot the video with the idea of being delivered from a sea of ghosts. The video shows how the curse travelled to reach its next heirs, taking on many different shades of fear and forms. Never doubt the ghosts who follow you. “

FAKE PALMS // SELF TITLED 2015 DEBUT ALBUM NOW AVAILABLE ON HAND DRAWN DRACULA // PITCHFORK, FADER, BROOKLYN VEGAN, NORTHERN TRANSMISSIONS, EXCLAIM!

FAKE PALMS‘ self-tiled 2015 debut album is now available on Hand Drawn Dracula Records!

Toronto band Fake Palms, came together as a collection of bedroom demos recorded with a broken drum machine by Michael le Riche in 2011, the project morphed into a band in early 2015 when le Riche brought together longtime contributors of Toronto’s music scene. In keeping with Fake Palms’ stripped back bedroom origins, the group value simplicity and directness. For le Riche this approach is almost an idealogical dictate, “our intention is to do the most we can with the limitations we put on ourselves,” he says, “no backing tracks, no samples etc. We want to make music that is an honest representation of the four of us in a room at that time.” (via NORTHERN TRANSMISSIONS)

“glitters with suspense” – FADER

“Fuzzy and grungy, bombastic and loud, Fake Palms are melodious tune makers with traditional pop sensibilities living in a world of overheated amps” – 8/10 EXCLAIM

“one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the thriving Toronto music scene” – NORTHERN TRANSMISSIONS

“If you dig dark post-punk you should definitely check it out” – BROOKLYN VEGAN

“a veritable Toronto underground supergroup” – PITCHFORK

BONNIE TRASH // MALOCCHIO (ALBUM) SILENCE IS A KILLER (VIDEO) LASHES ON FIRE (VISUALIZER) // LINE OF BEST FIT (ON THE RISE), EXCLAIM MAGAZINE, GET IN HER EARS, KREATIVE KONTROL WITH VISH KHANNA, THE STAR

BONNIE TRASH, the work of Canadian-Italian twin sisters Emmalia and Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor, share two final pre-release singles from their debut album, ‘Malocchio’, set for release on October 28th via Hand Drawn Dracula.

‘Malocchio’ takes its name from the Italian word for a hex or curse, inspired by folklore and stories handed down to the twins by their Italian grandma, Nonna Maria. Latest single “Silence is a Killer“ (directed by Bonnie Trash and shot and edited by Sara May) sees them embody the malocchio, writing a love letter to its recipient.

Commenting on the track, the band say: “Infatuated with the soul it captures, the malocchio becomes one with you. And you? You eerily love every minute of it. It tricks you into thinking this is now your life, drenched in evil. It will haunt you until the end. How can you break the curse? “Silence Is A Killer” is a lyric video following a Trevisani recipe on how to remove a malocchio, or at least buy some time: boil and burn all the feathers in your pillow, then throw them in the river.”

“The malocchio follows you. It is a fear that lingers. It will wait for you, and it wants to see you cry. “Lashes on Fire” is an open dialogue between you and the malocchio. How it talks to you, haunts you, and invades every waking thought. The “Lashes on Fire” visualizer contrasts fuzzy footage with clear imagery of eyes full of grief. It’s the contrast of trying to run away from something (in this case, embodied by a shadowy ghoul – the malocchio). You try to run away, yet it catches up to you. Rather, it’s always here. Watching you. And you? You’re watching it too.”

“From PJ Harvey to Siouxsie & the Banshees, there is an ancestral line directly tying them together and recalling emotions from the past. And that’s what Bonnie Trash is: a legacy. Gothic punk is diluted with a romantic rock to form a sound that, all at once, encompasses history” – THE LINE OF BEST FIT : ON THE RISE

“The Guelph duo share their Nonna’s tales of supernatural terror and preserve her Trevisàn dialect” – EXCLAIM! MAGAZINE: INTERVIEW

“Bonnie Trash channels goth inspiration from Italian roots – into one of this year’s most captivating releases” – THE STAR

Upon sharing the music with labels, it pricked the ears of Cocteau Twins’ Simon Raymonde – a hero of the band – who signed Tallies to his Bella Union label, providing “a light at the end of a dark tunnel” according to Sarah Cogan of the band.

YOUNG GUV // APRIL OF MY LIFE (VIDEO) RAVEN SINGS THE BLUES

YOUNG GUV releases a video for “April Of My Life” from GUV III & IV. Premiering on RAVEN SINGS THE BLUES, who also named GUV III amongst their FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2022 calling the LP “a swooning wave of lovelorn odes.”

“By this time you should have been able to absorb the latest double dose of pop from Young Guv, his second such set in the last few years. Ben Cook offers up a nice look back on the inspirations and inception for Guv’s III and IV in the video for “April of My Life,” one of the more languid corners of the set. Culled from footage shot during his stints in New mexico, California, and Oaxaca Mexico, the homegrown video fits the song’s easy sway — hung on a slight tangle of strums and plaintive flute. The records are out now as single entities or as a double set from Run for Cover and Hand Drawn Dracula.” – RAVEN SINGS THE BLUES

NO JOY // CATALOGUE NOW AVAILABLE ON HAND DRAWN DRACULA // WAIT TO PLEASURE, MORE FAITHFUL, GHOST BLONDE AND MORE!

NO JOY’s catalogue is now available on Hand Drawn Dracula Records Canada!!!! With a penchant for delay-saturated jangle, industrial distortion, and sludgey drones over disco beats with leveled-up expertise in production, NO JOY has showcased and evolved their sound through these pivotal Canadian releases.

Following their acclaimed 2010 debut, Ghost Blonde, No Joy released the five-song EP Negaverse, a mini album that highlighted “both the intimacy and intricacy of their song-craft.” “With their strong second full-length Wait to Pleasure, No Joy transcended the faithful shoegaze revivalism of their 2010 debut by yanking melodies out of their thick, fuzzy guitar stew and operating with previously unforeseen refinement and clarity” (Pitchfork). That same year they released the “fleeting yet revelatory” (Exclaim) Pastel & Pass Out EP to coincide with their 2013 European tour. On 2015’s More Faithful, No Joy “pulled off one hell of a trick: by the time it’s over, you’re wondering how a record so precise, so considered, can sound so gloriously laid-back” (The Line Of Best Fit).

FAKE PALMS // FLAGS (VIDEO) LEMONS (ALBUM) BROOKLYN VEGAN, CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE, CBC RADIO3, BANDCAMP DAILY, EXCLAIM!, TALKHOUSE, THE LINE OF BEST FIT, KEXP

FAKE PALMS, the project of Toronto-based musician, Michael le Riche is today sharing the new single “Flags” and video (directed by Justis Krar) as the final advance preview of his new record, Lemons which is set for release via Hand Drawn Dracula on Friday, September 16.

“Flags” arrives as the final preview of the new record which, as a full piece, circles around outsider-pop, post-punk and the sound of early/mid-naughts British indie-rock. Swirling guitars bounce off of each other circling around fervent percussion before shifting into something harder-hitting across the chorus. Speaking about the single, Michael says: “‘Flags’ is a song about having to find where you fit within the machinery. Is it comfortable? Is it against what your beliefs are? Do you want to do it or do you have to do it? Do you feel like a traitor? Or are you scared at how much you actually enjoy it? We all seem to have these specters we answer to, these things we rally for or against subconsciously. This is kind of about what happens when you are forced to stare your decisions in the face.”

The new record evolves from the 00’s angular guitar rhythms that defined the post-punk foundations of Fake Palms’ first two releases. Lemons switches out some of the irregular time-signatures of 70’s college rock and first-take recording approach, this time moving with confidence into more dissonant yet accessible directions of brighter melodic structures.

Michael le Riche called upon a veritable who’s who of Toronto indie-dom for Lemons, drawing from the ranks of Dilly Dally (Ben Reinhartz), Ducks Ltd (Evan Lewis), Sauna (Braeden Craig), and Twist (Laura Hermiston). Taking to Candle Recording studio with long-time contributor, co-producer, and engineer Josh Korody (Breeze, Beliefs), the songwriting dove headlong even further into dream-math-punk sensibilities.


“The hooks are sharp, the rhythms choppy, the vocals achingly cool. If you’ve ever found yourself enjoying The Modern Lovers, The Strokes, Parquet Courts, Cage the Elephant or any number of similar rhythm groups, then you’ll find something here to devour” – THE LINE OF BEST FIT

“with expert guitar and drum work that harkens to the best of roaring indie rock, equal parts chaos and control, Lemons is a zesty, life-affirming punch to the gut” – EXCLAIM!

“a fine set of spiky post-punk inflected with surf, motorik prog and other styles, combining angular guitars, driving rhythms and often-dystopian lyrics” – KEXP

BONNIE TRASH // PERFECT MOMENT (A BEAUTIFUL REUNION) (VIDEO) BIZZARRE, PASTE MAGAZINE

BONNIE TRASH is the drone-rock project of Canadian-Italian twin sisters Emmalia and Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor. Today they share new single “Perfect Moment (A Beautiful Reunion)” from their debut album, ‘Malocchio’, to be released on October 28th via Hand Drawn Dracula.

‘Malocchio’ unspools a real-life horror story based on the stories told to them by their Italian grandmother. Over heavy, hypnotic riffs, pounding drums and spooky soundscapes, the lyrics pull the listener into the meaning of the “evil eye,” a hex of malice onto another.

Speaking on today’s new single, with accompanying video shot and directed by Sam Maloney, the band comment: “How do you see yourself dying? How do others see you dying? How does it feel to be left to die, when there’s nothing else you can do, waiting for that ‘perfect’ moment of one last euphoria: a beautiful reunion. This song is a genuflection to all of the nonni who passed during the pandemic and could not be held.”

FAKE PALMS // CIVIL LIBERTIES (VIDEO) LE CANAL AUDITIF, PANIC MANUAL, INDIE 88, BROOKLYN VEGAN, KCRW

FAKE PALMS, the project helmed by Toronto-based artist Michael le Riche, is today returning with his third single “Civil Liberties” (video directed by Jordan Allen) from Lemons, set for release via Hand Drawn Dracula on September 16, 2022.

Michael le Riche called upon a veritable who’s who of Toronto indie-dom for Lemons, drawing from the ranks of Dilly Dally (Ben Reinhartz), Ducks Ltd (Evan Lewis), Sauna (Braeden Craig), and Twist (Laura Hermiston). Taking to Candle Recording studio with long-time contributor, co-producer, and engineer Josh Korody (Breeze, Beliefs), the songwriting dove headlong even further into dream-math-punk sensibilities.

The haunting “Civil Liberties” comes as another refreshing reminder of le Riche’s smart ability to meld outsider-pop with post-punk, coating his sound in this metallic, slick sheen. It summons the sounds of The Strokes circa Room On Fire, Iceage and Omni with a pummelling rhythm track tied to a tingly, soaring chorus that’s impossible to shake after first exposure. “Civil Liberties” manages the trick of sounding wistful and dystopian at the same time. “This record is the most direct thing I’ve ever done,” says Le Riche. “All the distorted guitars playing 16th-note riffs in different time signatures, washes of noise and buried vocals are basically gone. In their place we made a record that’s lean and a punch to the gut.”

“I am a firm believer in “what goes down must come up,” people usually say the opposite, but this is a motto I’ve used throughout my life. When things aren’t going well, they have a tendency to bounce back. ‘Memento’, to me, is my pick-up song. When I sing “gotta get you on your way now”, I’m saying that it’s time to move on and move forward. I’ve had many moments in my life where I’ve lost momentum and felt directionless like I’d fallen into a black hole. It’s hard to crawl out of the hole and get back on track. I think there are a lot of people who spend their time thinking about how they need to get back on track. Listen to this song and remind yourself it’s time to look forward and lean into the future.” – Saraha Cogan (Tallies)

The balance of optimism and something more world-weary and wise is symptomatic of Tallies’ music, this new single “Memento” lays into those ideas once more while drawing on gliding, shoegaze-adjacent jangle-pop reminiscent of The Sundays, Galaxie 500, Ride, etc. While many of their songs are upbeat, with Frankland’s breezy guitar lines drenched in reverb, soaring over Cian O’Neill’s propulsive drumbeats, Sarah’s lyrics pull out deep thought and emotive responses to day-to-day struggles.

“a well-crafted set of jangly dream-pop with shimmering guitars, buoyant rhythms, ethereal vocals and wistful melodies” – KEXP

Coming produced by Graham Walsh (of Holy Fuck, previously helmed records by METZ and Alvvays) alongside Dylan Frankland of the band at Palace Sound, Baskitball 4 Life and Candle Recording in Toronto, Patina arrives as a true labor of love; one that was delayed due to the pandemic but ultimately marks a truly rewarding collection for the band.
