God bless the Mike Trasks of the world. It can’t be too much to ask for – this guy has to be one of a kind and he’s only getting more unique. His full length release of ‘DeRealization’ back in April confirmed what many of us had long been waiting for: peak Traskiness. We’ve since been able to wallow in its glory, and today was only the most recent reaffirmation: his new video for ‘Shock To The System’.

New Music: Russell Louder’s ‘Think Of Light’
The first three terms Russell Louder uses to describe their EP on their soundcloud is #BedroomPop, #Experimental, and #self-produced.

In 2013, the world lost Nobel Laureate writer, Seamus Heaney. Reportedly, minutes before his death he texted his wife the latin phrase “Noli Timere”. In English it translates as “Do Not Be Afraid.” Coincidently, 2013 also marked the end of a prolific era of creativity, – five studio albums in six years – for Nova Scotia’s Construction & Deconstruction. Four years later, the dark duo has retuned with a new release titled after the now famous last quote from Ireland’s modern master of poetry.
