2) Contour is a melodic slo-mo guitar drifting and tone floating group from the Karate Joe label (producers of Mimi Secue, Glim, Song of Suspects, Charmant Rouge, etc.). In a mode a kind to the brighter side of ‚Labradford’ meeting the jet-stream tail-end of a ‚Sonic Youth’ track. The chiming clarity of interwoven guitar phrases give way to distant static hum and late night minor key drone and sweeping strings. Has as much to do with post-rock and electronica as it does Gavin Bryars, or the Vancouver slow-music-scene.
