Picastro / slow core / gaze / noise / Toronto~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
https://picastro.bandcamp.com/
Commanding influences as varied as gypsy field recordings, Greek rembetika, Russian folksongs, Faces, and Black Sabbath, Toronto's Picastro craft starkly discordant soundscapes where murmured vocals cascade alongside a rich panorama of dissonance and string-laden dynamics.
"They’ve worked with everyone from Owen Pallett to Xiu Xiu’s Jamie Stewart to Espers’ Greg Weeks, and actually, those three bands could form a rough approximation of the range that Picastro’s music covers. Yet Picastro has such a consistent viewpoint and tone that no matter what happens, they always sound like, well, Picastro — and that’s largely down to Hysen’s drowsily majestic voice (both audibly and lyrically). " -- PopMatters
"Virtually everything revolves around Hysen's fragile vocal parts, and when you listen carefully it becomes pretty apparent that, despite possible comparisons with post-rock darlings like Godspeed You Black Emperor! or Mogwai, Picastro is a much more restrained project, with string accompaniment adding anchor rather than bombast. It's not an album for casual listening, though: Hysen's vocals are so tentative in places that they almost beckon you to get more fully involved in the listening process."
