This is a band that requires more observation. Fine Motor Control are four Canadians from Toronto, who were connected by playing extremely melodic psychedelic music. This March they released their long-play debut and I, for one, am enchanted.
They write about themselves that they are inspired by a whole range of genres: "psychedelia, shoegaze, garage, grunge, britpop, and surf" and it can hardly be denied. The airiness of shoegaze (Thorns), melody of britpop, lightness of surf, grunge's tooth (Dozer), everything is present on this album signed by an abstract shape and shoegazish pinks. And there's also (or perhaps first of all) the ability to write songs that go directly into the whistling section of the brain. Such as Radio My TV, Next Hangover, or 8th to RCA.
In the Canadians' music all of the ingredients fit together perfectly and the album turns out to be not only a promising debut but one of the best psychedelic shoegaze albums of the year.
