about

||| AE059 |||

Sluice, le quatuor powerpop acadien, présente une leçon d'histoire, une lettre d'amour à leur patrie et un coup de poing énergique avec Archiviste, le plus fun que vous pourriez avoir en apprenant à propos de l'histoire acadienne de la Nouvelle-Écosse tout en vous imprégnant de votre nostalgie des années 1990 - Gin Blossoms sur du speed (mais rendez-le plus nerd).

Écrit dans la foulée d'une série de résidences de recherche au Argyle Township Court House and Archives à Tusket, en Nouvelle-Écosse, fouillant dans des centaines d'années de journaux, de manuscrits, de registres de propriété et de photos, l'album présente une collection d'histoires qui documentent un passé largement inconnu ancré dans la plus vieille région acadienne du monde. Transcrivant des faits à côté des sentiments, le groupe primé mélange un large éventail d'influences - de Weezer à Motörhead, des Ramones aux Lemonheads, de Thin Lizzy à Jimmy Eat World - pour documenter une partie du monde résiliente, fière et exceptionnelle dont l'histoire est bien connue (pour certains), mais seulement en surface.

+++++

Acadian powerpop quartet Sluice presents a history lesson, a love letter to home, and a fist-pumping banger with Archiviste, the most fun you could possibly have learning about niche Nova Scotian Acadian history while soaking in your 1990s nostalgia—Gin Blossoms on speed (but make it nerdy).

Written on the heels of a series of research residencies at the Argyle Township Court House and Archives in Tusket digging through hundreds of years of newspapers, manuscripts, property records, and photos, the album presents a collection of stories that document a largely unknown past anchored in the oldest Acadian region in the whole world. Nudging facts next to feelings, the award-winning band mixes a wide-range of influences - from Weezer to Motörhead, the Ramones to the Lemonheads, Thin Lizzy to Jimmy Eat World - to document a resilient, proud, and exceptional part of the world whose history is well-known (to some), but only at the surface.
