Masquerade - by the Pink Noise
Track from forthcoming long player entitled Greedy Heart

New wave/no wave Montreal punks The Pink Noise have crawled out of the basement and into the light with their latest album entitled Greedy Heart. Set for release on the Copenhagen-based  Skrot Up imprint, the band’s 6th full-length album sees them shaking off  the claustrophobic sounds of  tape hiss and ghetto blasters that resulted in their being named “Montreal’s most nihilistic band.”

Originally the solo-project of Toronto-native Mark Sauner, The Pink Noise first established itself with a series of highly regarded albums on Sacred Bones, Kill Shaman, Night People, Almost Ready, and Pleasence Records. Now based in Montreal, The Pink Noise operates as a full band, with a sound that re-imagines the impulses that characterized the earlier work through more structured songwriting, higher fidelity, and lyrical clarity. While still rooted in the retro-futurism of Sauner’s previous albums, Greedy Heart expands the vision by adding the cold wave synthesizer of Electric Voice Records’ Matt Samways, the abstract guitar of Psychic Handshake Recordings’ Graeme Langdon, and the Crass-like drumming of Porn Persons, and Interracial Love Triangle’s Tara Desmond. With its mix of psychedelic colourful effects, gritty guitar, and booming drums, the result is an album full of dynamic tension that conjures the band’s equal interest in glam rock, post-punk, and new wave while at the same time embodying a newness beyond its allusions to classics like Television, Soft Cell, The Fall, or Roxy Music.

Smartly recorded at Toronto’s Polyphasic Studios with Destroyer and Diana’s Joseph Shabason (who also plays saxophone on the title track), Greedy Heart is a return to form for the band that has played the Sacred Bones showcase at SXSW, shared the stage with Crystal Castles, Zola Jesus, and Jay Reatard, and sold over 5000 records.
