Description
Canadian shoegazers No Joy release their long-awaited fifth album Bugland. Now the solo project of Jasamine White-Gluz, its their first new material for five years and also their debut for Sonic Cathedral. Bugland finds Jasamine White-Gluz teaming up with producer Fire-Toolz (aka Angel Marcloid) to create the aural equivalent of a late-80s i-D magazine front and back cover, with a non-problematic National Geographic hiding within. It was, at least in part, inspired by White-Gluzs move to a more rustic area of Quebec, something which also explains the gap between albums. The wait wasn’t intentional, she explains, but I think rural living made me tune out the noise of the music biz and focus more inwards, writing and taking my damn time. The hook-up with Fire-Toolz was inspired. The renowned future fusionist adds not only magical co-production, but other sonic additions/dances/noises/mysticism. The collaboration really felt limitless, she enthuses. I could easily relate to it because Jasamine and I liked a lot of the same music, and I was able to be creative in ways that were freeing as if I was making my own album. Both spent days driving on empty rural highways listening to the mixes, and it reflects in the final product. With an open ear, many influence eggs can be detected by the listener.
