Album Description

The Cansecos music brings a mix of programmed beats, heavy bass, folktronica-like production and indie rock/pop songsmanship all together on their debut release. Like labelmates the Russian Futurists, the Cansecos also have a heavy Brian Wilsonee vibe to their sound, yet the delivery here is slightly more skewered. This growing Toronto breed of home-recorded underground pop-based music has seen previous successes by the likes of aforementioned Russian Futurists, Manitoba, and Girls Are Short and while the community of hip-hop in the T-dot would like to think they've got the bling-bling game locked in, it seems Toronto is becoming more well-known for its artists' lack of recording funds being the catalyst for their imaginative recordings. Upper Class.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Really good.......2006-02-11

This is worth checking out. Electronic Pop/folk with a little bit more experimentation than the average group. Not all tracks are mindblowing, but no real throwaways. "This small disaster" would definitely be the first single and is just a really great song. About 4-5 really good songs among 6-7 pretty good ones. For cross references think Postal Service (but not as emo) with a little bit of early Folk Implosion and Brian Wilson.
I hope groups like this see enough sucess that they make other albums. i'd really be interested in hearing another album from them.

5 out of 5 stars brilliant.......2004-06-01

The Cansecos has synthesized beats, much like The Postal Service, but the voice has an 80's vibe to it much like the band Pinback (who you should also check out). The resulting combination is brilliant. Almost every track is enjoyable, providing a beat you can easily tap your feet too and feel good about.

The most notable tracks i feel are: "faster than you go", which provides a very rhythm that just makes you want step on the gas while driving, "blue whales", which is very mellow but still poppy enough to not put you to sleep, and "small disaster", which is poppy and a generally all around good song.

I actually stumbled across this band looking for Mellow music (specifically Pinback) and i'm really glad i did.

I hope more comes from this band and they get more recognition because music like this is rarely experienced.
