Comment: this set of three tracks (classified as B-sides) from Hull, Quebec, Canada is a provoking rock example with crashing guitars, screaming and weeping vocals in French and a minimised amount of electronic music. That's weird in its dadaist approach while being somehow lofty at the same time, that's also artsy and inspiring. It harks back to an experimental compartment of post-punk (in fact, post-punk as a style was being mostly experimental and seminal anyway) to such combos as Ludus (a favourite combo of Moz), and This Heat, but by contemporaneous combos it a little bit resembles ranting Fly Pan Am, another French Canadian combo. The issue is a part of the discography of E-Tron Rec., and Boiled Records.
