Canadian Culture Reject creates lo-fi, post-soul music inside broken pop songs. While drawing comparisons to Metronomy, Talking Heads, Blonde Redhead and the “lost soundtrack to a Wes Anderson film”, Culture Reject is a truly original offering.
Starting out as the pop experiment of Michael O’Connell in his 120-year-old Toronto apartment, Culture Reject released a fresh collection of prose-induced, lo-fi pop in 2009, soon characterised as “epitomising the boldness of the new Canadian sound.”
By now everybody knows that a Culture Reject performance equals a guitar/synth driven emotional dance party with evocative melodies laying on a bed of R’n’B beats, and that’s all we could ever ask for on a October Wednesday night!
