Strange Attractor (2014)

Sudbury, ON

Aliens on the blackened landscape of Sudbury, ON, Strange Attractor beat the blues of living in a mining town by turning their amps to weird and hammering out deceptively simple, three-chord punk that drips with lo-fi neurosis and dirge-like psychosis. A perfect fit on Mammoth Cave, they join a stable of Canadian artists fighting back against the deplorable mundanity that threatens to suffocate Canadian music.
