Various Artists Kanine Records Past Present Future (love record stores 2020 edition)

A gift from Kanine records. Although Kanine Records might have a range of sound throughout its history 2003 -present, one thing stands the same. Their artists all started as independent musicians and their sound from the records that they released reflect that spirit. When listening to this compilation you will hear the beginning days of Grizzly Bear’s dreamy lo-fi pop, the hazy shoegaze pop of The Deprecation Guild, the quickness of Garden Centre’s mind twisting art pop, the sunshine indie pop of Honey Cutt, the swirling guitars of Honey Lung’s love of The Smashing Pumpkins ‘Gish era’, along with a modern take on the Riot Girl sound via Weeping Icon. Each of these twelve bands on the compilation has created their own little sound in their own scene and universe, but what combines them all together is their love of music with putting out records with a strong independent spirit.
