Scratch

Strange and minimal compositions that create dreams in your mind as you sit and stare at the ceiling with open eyes. Instrumentals that border the strange line that falls between indie rock and electronica. You can’t see big pant lollipop kids dancing to this, and you can’t really see thrift store fitted and bespectacled Pavement fans pogoing to this, either. This music, these sounds, call out to a new breed. There is a light groove that flows, there is a rhythm, but it’s more a place to visit. Somewhere that is like a light rain, but sounds better.

Scratch, 726 Richards St., Vancouver, BC V6B 3A4 Canada
