Petit Village Recs Presents: The Wesleys - Motorists - Prism shore at Lesco
The Wesleys
Concocting a blissfully eclectic assemblage of ‘60s garage pop, ‘70s guitar riffage and ‘90s DIY style, The Wesleys are an absolute breath of fresh air. Driving, uptempo rock numbers featuring jangly, fuzzy guitar arpeggios and melodic vocal sweeps are abundant on the 2022 EP Outside Voices. Of the Montreal band's 2024 self-titled full-length, Exclaim! raved that “their surf- and punk-kissed raw energy is channelled into crisp, frenetic riffing and sweeping, arpeggio-led mid-tempo numbers in equal measure, never sacrificing precision for fuzzy, loose-limbed spontaneity.”
Motorists
Inspired by the big shiny tunes flooding FM radio airwaves in the 1990s, Toronto trio Motorists go full throttle on their sophomore album Touched by the Stuff (released in May 2024 via We Are Time). Now propelled by powerhouse drummer Nick Mckinlay, guitarist Craig Fahner and bassist Matt Learoyd channel stadium-sized power-pop through the gauzy fuzz of ‘90s alt rock, like Big Star swerving into Hotline TNT. Touched By The Stuff hits the gas with “Decider,” Fahner’s voice adopting a Britpop swagger as he zigzags through strident riffs, sudden key changes, and sweet vocal coos. “Back To The Q” picks up speed as Learoyd sings about sinking with the ship, summoning his strength just to lose. “Embers” is a tender, lovelorn ballad about the breath that ignites flames, while “The Folded Plan” is a verbose, Tom Petty-style rocker, juxtaposing squelching electronics with trilling doo-doo-doos. “L.O.W” cranks up the volume with Siamese Dream-inspired headbanger riffs, while the warbling synths and thunderous drums of “Light Against The Shade” close the record on a sweeter note.
Prism Shore
Prism Shores are Montreal janglers with one foot planted in ramshackle C86-indebted indie pop and the other in the shimmer of early English shoegaze. Their sound is reminiscent of perennial genre reference points (Sarah, Creation, Flying Nun) while leaving its own idiosyncratic stamp.
