What the hell is going on in Toronto that has everybody so loud and angsty? Dilly Dally seems to be the latest in a long line of very good, very raucous bands crossing over from north of the border.

It took a while for Slowdive to get their due, but now I can see their fingerprints on a seemingly infinite amount of bands taking cues from Creation Record’s noisiest, most soaring moments. It’s almost intimidating how many great new bands are emerging that could be classified as “shoegaze” by some measure or another. Fake Palms have a bit of a sinister undercurrent to them, and remind me a lot of the claustrophic psych of Lorelle Meets the Obsolete. Definitely worth paying attention to.

Anamai is the nom de plume of Anna Mayberry, and while I don’t know much about the project yet, this smokey, mysterious bit of music from her self-titled EP that she put out last year is enough to convince me to start digging around.
