Grand Trine / Sunglasses

Divorce

The Sunglasses EP finds Montreal's leather clad, psych delinquents GRAND TRINE injecting the energy of rock with the liberating sonic adventurism of the avant-garde. They do it with violence, piss, life, bleakness and primitivism. And they do it well. Led by agitated frontman TOBIAS ROCHMAN (formerly of BE BAD) and featuring free jazz sax player CABRAL JACOBS, this five-song EP captures that primal four-on-the-floor frenzy epitomized by proto-punk outfits like the Stooges, MC5, Electric Eels, and early Velvet Underground, bands that lit the spark for the initial punk movement. Grand Trine have been riding a hot streak that shows no sign of letting up. This 12-inch is easily the next best thing to watching these guys bleed it out in some sweaty Montreal loft. Grab a copy while you can. Recorded by GRAHAM VAN PELT (Think About Life/Miracle Fortress) and DAVID BRYANT (Godspeed! You Black Emperor) on 2-inch tape. Mastered by SEAN SMITH (Dog Day). Edition of 600.
