Critiques CD: oRCondor | Motoriste / Machine 7″

If these two tracks are any indication, keep your ears glued close to the ground for future firings from this great and soon-to-be-bigger Franco band. What do you get when you mix equally important parts Kiss Me Deadly, Bonjour Brumaire, and Mr. NÔ? oRCondor's Montreal band lineage that leads us to where we are today: witnesses to a new local sound that blasts up and over with the urgency of punk rock and the angularity of the alternative, vibrates through with a bent experimental angle, all the while aiming for the heart of popular song and all its melodies and coos. oRCondor do it with grace, ease, style, and swagger, forsaking the allure of sudden success for the more satisfying shores of originality and creativity, having already been there and done that.
