REVIEW: Slothbear – Canter On (LP)

slothbear-canter-on

Loving lots to do with Slothbear’s new LP. Beginning with the fact that it’s a five song full length. Canter On is the perfect balance of post rock and popular music. Almost as polarizing for indie rock today as say something like Pet Sounds in the 60’s. And a personal preference, the band indulges with the perfect touch of naiveté hinting at so much left to say. The creativity is flowing and Canter’s second track and 10 minute long “Goodnight, Retrograde” serves a worthy indicator by many standards. Canter On explores ideas left by some iconic pioneers of pop, post rock, experimental, math, jazz.. and why stop there? I might as well have already burned through several copies of “Ex-teen” at some point in the last 20 years.
