This is unseen footage from a BRMC gig in Toronto, 2005. The video concept is simple; match the song with black and white live footage and great editing. It captures every color and vibe that is essential in BRMC's music.

Helen Stellar are on hiatus right now, but this track is one of their finer moments. "IO" landed them a spot on the Elizabethtown soundtrack courtesy of Cameron Crowe. This is the L.A. trio's first official video.
Electrelane
No Shouts, No Calls
2007 | Too Pure/Beggars Group
Upon listening to Electrelane’s new album ‘No Shouts, No Calls’ my
first thought was, ‘Wow, this sounds very…produced’. That is until the
vocals kick in, sounding as if they were recorded in someone’s
bathroom. This unusual contrast however is the perfect fit for this
band, where you have to force yourself to listen to the lyrics over the
rising and crashing of the song structures. As a whole, the album tends
to ride the pop genre closer than usual, with only smidges of
melancholia thrown in. The first two tracks, “The Greater Times” and
“To the East” encompass both the light and dark sides of their music,
and prepare the listener for the lull in the tracks before the music
begins to rise again. It does have a good deal of excellent keyboard
work, the star of many of the instrumental tracks on here, and also, I
feel, a throwback to mid 90’s Stereolab.
Fans
of Electrelane will find this album comforting; it doesn’t stray too
far from what they usually do, even reusing similar drum beats. At the
same time though, I want them to develop and grow to see what new
things they can come up with. No Shouts, No Calls is a good album to
transition into Electrelane if you are not familiar with them, kind of
like a nice mild cheese before you hit the harsh stuff. I recommend
“The Greatest Times”, “Tram 21”, and “Five”.
