From Divorce Records:
The Sunglasses EP finds Montreal's leather clad, psych delinquents
Grand Trine injecting the energy of rock with the liberating sonic
adventurism of the avant-garde. They do it with violence, piss, life,
bleakness and primitivism. And they do it well. Led by agitated
frontman Tobias Rochman (formerly of Be Bad) and featuring free jazz
sax player Cabral Jacobs, this 5 song EP captures that primal
four-on-the-floor frenzy epitomized by proto-punk outfits like the
Stooges, MC5, Electric Eels, and early Velvet Underground, bands that
lit the spark for the initial punk movement. Grand Trine have been
riding a hot streak that shows no sign of letting up. This 12" is
easily the next best thing to watching these guys bleed it out in some
sweaty Montreal loft. Grab a copy while you can. Recorded by Graham Van
Pelt (Think About Life/Miracle Fortress) and David Bryant (Godspeed!
You Black Emperor) on 2-inch tape. Mastered by Seth Smith (Dog Day).
Edition of 600.
