Keith Canisius
Waves

This record left our Phil feeling happy.

Keith Canisius is that fella from Rumskib (Darla) and we've just got his 2nd album in from Japan and it's called Waves. I feel like I'm back in the late 80's all of a sudden. This sounds like a total blast from the past!! It's shoegaze-tastic with layers (or waves perhaps) of guitars wooshing over you, over some big programmed drum beats (reminds me a bit of State Of Grace) and lots of multi layered vocals covering the music in a creamy voice laden foam. It's very very much Cocteaus influenced and there's nods to MVB and other bands from around that era. It's totally nothing new but if you're a fan of all things shoegazey then there's good things to be had from this as it's done remarkably competently. Good tunes played well. Bonzer... You can't go wrong!

What their label says...

On this totally self produced album, Keith Canisius (Rumskib) takes his romantic ocean dream pop one step further from his previous album Ferris Wheel Makeout (2008), making it sound even more psychedelic and ambient on one side, yet more poppy, melodic and modern on the other. His great sense for creating atmospheres and melodies together with a sharp structural awareness will take you places you’ve never been before. Yet again Canisius often seeks the explosive moments in his music, but only with an exceptional sense for timing where the listener would least expect it. Listen to the 7 min. dream pop anthem with guest appearance by Isol Misenta (Entre Rios, Alsace Lorraine, Isol/Zypce) and you will know what we’re talking about. Canisius’s music has an emotional depth and musical vision that seems quite unique which allows him to work with a wide musical pallet without limitation and specific genre loyalty.
 
Anything can happen and will on a Canisius album, often with a classic sounding underline to it, but always pushing the boundaries and seeking those key moments where thoughts loose their sense of basic control.
