Fab, Trip 22

Maybe it's something in the water??? 

 

Another Trip-hop duo from Toronto. 

Sissy come on strong with a fearless, uncompromising sound that combines the exquisite disquiet of singer Johanne Williams' vocals with the discordantly melodic, electronic landscapes that producer & multi-instrumentalist David Trusz creates. 

The group utilizes old-school Moogs, Oberheims, tape-delay machines, & band-pass filters as anti-digital calling cards, yet Trusz's deployment of ominous booms, echoes, & superlow (20?) beats-per-minute rhythm tracks along with Williams' breathy yet vaguely threatening scatty vocals are what set Sissy apart from the pack. This one is defintely top notch.
