‘White Night’ from: CULTS (2011) | Director: Henry Sansom & James Mejia – HDD Films
“i’ve been playing this next track ceaselessly, it’s become a kind of murky, mesmerizing mantra. time to embrace the intense et entrancing, gothic-tinged, scuzzed-out, punchy et angular, fuzz-addled, epic minimal wave-infused revelation White Night, from Toronto-based post punk outfit LITTLE GIRLS off their phenomenal new “Cults” EP (2011).
check out the great new tripped-out, vhs-smeared, 360° panning performance video for White Night, directed by Henry Sansom & James Mejia for HDD films.” – INDB
Bruce Peninsula ‘Pull Me Under’ Video
BRUCE PENINSULA‘s video for ‘Pull Me Under’ from OPEN FLAMES. Available on White Vinyl, CD & Digital! Directed by Lara Mrkoci and Neil Haverty.
EXCLAIM! Nov 23 2011 – Now that we’ve had a few weeks to soak in Bruce Peninsula’s Open Flames, the Toronto-based collective have unveiled the latest video from their sophomore LP. This one is for the expansive, gospel-tinged stomper “Pull Me Under,” a track that boasts some lush choral harmonies and thundering drums.
The accompanying video is a kaleidoscopic mind-bender that’s largely made up of quickly intercut water and forest imagery. It’s a visually compelling clip, despite the fact that it’s almost impossible to make out what’s going on. In other words, this isn’t your average performance video.

Bruce Peninsula ‘Open Flames’ and Tour
Hand Drawn Dracula is proud to be working with BRUCE PENINSULA, who return with their sophomore full-length album, Open Flames, October 4th 2011. The multi-musician ensemble gives us 10 new, sprawling songs, drawn from the skin of a drum and sung from deep down in the gut.
It has been quite a journey. Bruce Peninsula’s previous record, 2009’s self-released debut, A Mountain Is A Mouth immediately caught fire, garnering countless glowing reviews and a Polaris Music Prize long-list nomination. Their raucous, big top live show, featuring at times, a 10-musician sprawl, has converted audiences across the continent with headline appearances at SXSW, Pop Montreal and Halifax Pop Explosion. Songs from that album (along with Open Flames’ opening track) were used to score the full-length feature film Small Town Murder Songs, which premiered at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.

‘CULTS’ EP
tracklisting:
1. White Night
2. Cults
3. Ex
4. Daydream
5. Delaware
6. Nights Out
Hand Drawn Dracula welcomes Toronto’s LITTLE GIRLS to the label! CULTS EP is set to be released September 6th 2011 on limited red vinyl and digital.
Little Girls began in January 2009 as the solo recording project of multi-instrumentalist Josh McIntyre who, at the time, was one-half of Toronto shoegaze duo Pirate/Rock. While Little Girls is a four-piece live experience, CULTS was performed and recorded by Josh. The music combines elements of new wave and post punk with layers of fuzz to create murky yet melodic walls of sound. Influences are drawn everywhere from both ’80s post-punk as well as hip hop production of the late J Dilla.
Mausoleum ‘(Meth) Hunters’ Video
MAUSOLEUM ‘(Meth) Hunters’ video from EP directed by David F. M. Hanes.
“Mausoleum is more about evoking an era, that very first tip over from punk into Goth and New Wave, than about echoing any one particular band. The Toronto trio has certainly got the frantic energy of that period – still punkishly aggressive and combative even as it flirted with the prettiness, melodrama and keyboards to come – down pat on the three curt, energetically brooding post-punk ditties collected on this set.”
(toronto.com / Toronto Star) – Ben Rayner
“Mausoleum ‘(Meth) Hunters’ – Not only does this song sound like it was recorded in the studio next door to Echo and the Bunnymen in 1981, the video for these Toronto new wave punks’ single catches some snippets from the era of big black hair, egyptian eyeliner, skinny ties and moshpits. Love it.” (YVYNYL)
