TRUST + Mozart's Sister + Until The Ribbon Breaks live @ popscene - SOLD OUT

popscene and 120 MINUTES present Trust (Toronto) + Mozart's Sister (Montreal) + Until The Ribbon Breaks (UK) live Friday, April 25 at Rickshaw Stop * Fri 4/25 will be our popscene this week! No POPSCENE on Thu 4/24 * + DJs Omar, Aaron Axelsen, and S4NtA_MU3rTE (Marco from 120 Minutes) About Trust: A fair amount of TRST is cut from the same cloth as the brittle, gloomy melodrama of coldwave, but Alfons and Postepski's music does more than just flirt with analog affectations. Last year, NYC coldwave duo Xeno & Oaklander brought swarming lushness to the genre with Sets & Lights; comparatively, Trust take their own extraordinary machines and slather them in gloss, resulting in the sonic equivalent of what a fashion show might look like if it were put on by depressive pill abusers. This stuff sounds malevolent, but mighty sexy, as Alfons' pinched whine of a voice takes on both characteristics with ease. -Pitchfork About Mozart's Sister: "Montreal’s Caila Thompson-Hannant is Mozart’s Sister. Mozart’s Sister’s lead single’s title? 'Mozart’s Sister!' It’s a cheery-sounding burst of ’80s pop (her bio name-checks Cyndi and Kylie) meshed with ’50s girl-group callback flair, and some very contemporary electronic production filigree (her bio also name-checks scenemates tUnE-yArDs and Grimes) — a catchy, feel-good thing, for the point in the party when the girls get drunk enough to make a dancing circle and sing to each other." -Stereogum About Until The Ribbon Breaks: Decidedly honest, their music embraces an old-school passion for intricate, clever writing and the slicing together of sounds, samples and lyrics; a skill demonstrated in debut track ‘Pressure’ and the accompanied self-made video which they released on YouTube last year. The powerful EP, ‘A Taste Of Silver,’ which followed, treated listeners’ ears to something compelling and unique. Mesmeric, dark apocalyptic pop, meets infectious “Avant RnB” in a way that is both haunting and beautiful in its raw confrontation of human emotion. Boldly and without trepidation, the music tells tales of love, loss, lust, infatuation, regret and fear all enveloped in cinematic imagery, which could sit comfortably within the poignant scenes of any Spike Lee, Tarantino or Scorsese film.
