Directed by bassist/synth-wizard Charley Wu, “Glory” captures a casual disregard for blazing forest fires in British Columbia’s interior through projected and resampled archival footage. Working with a dream team of Vancouver’s young talent in film, the video was shot at Malcolm Levy’s (New Forms Festival, Hybridity Music) Open Studios.
On June 22nd, the brand-new Poor Planning EP will be released on cassette in a limited run through a collaboration between LGWR (Toronto) and Skylantern (Vancouver). The release show will be held at the Skylantern Studio (4359 Main St., Vancouver) and will feature an interactive live projector-looping exhibit, expanding on the effects used in the “Glory” video.
SQUARE SUN (formerly Gunshot Wounds) was formed in a garret on Vancouver’s Main St. between two empty storefronts. Their “fuck it” brand of weird folk/soft punk has drawn comparisons to Bonnie Prince Billy for the song writing, Destroyer for the bass lines, and Tokyo Police Club for no real reason. Featuring two members of Vancouver mainstay The Ruffled Feathers, but playing different instruments, Square Sun will deliver within a 20 mile radius (for orders over $20).
