Last week when we wrote up BTW Braids, we mentioned they had a number of upcoming shows with fellow Canucks GOBBLE GOBBLE. The DayGlo Edmonton electro-pop project of Cecil Frena & Co. is coming at things from a different, more hyperactive angle than their post-Velocity Girl cohorts. See, for instance, "Seizure To The Metronome," a track that appears on Royal Rhino Flying's The Queen’s Jew compilation. It sorta makes me think of a 32-bit Dismemberment Plan being quartered (not obnoxiously) by Dan Deacon.
