New Music From The Inbox: Total Control, IMPOSTER(S), STACEY, The Provincial Archive, Peral Negras
By: Juliette Jagger
Artist: Total Control “Expansive Dog”
Album: Typical System
Fuzzed-out and symphonic, Total Control are equal parts noisy garage rock and post-punk drone.

Artist: IMPOSTER(S) “You Control You”
Album: Second
Vancouver duo IMPOSTER(S) blend pulsating beats, hallow, tinkering guitars and these weightless vocals––there’s rock sensibility here but it’s coupled with avant-garde production.
Sounds like: “I shouldn’t chase lies through the woods.”

Artist: STACEY “Sleeping Alone”
Album: Self-Titled
A simple, poignant and haunting ode to a love lost in the past.
Sounds like: “Living in the city, sharing a single bed. Tried to keep busy, wound up drinkin’ instead.”

Artist: The Provincial Archive “Son of Sam” (Elliot Smith)
Album: Hide Like a Secret
A beautifully harmonized and up beat, indie rock rendition of Elliot Smith.
Sounds like: Worth the listen!

Artist: Pearl Negras “Guerreira”
Album: Single
Building off of erratic beats and relentless vocal attack, this one from Brazilian baile funk rap group Pearls Negras, is absolutely fierce.
