Editor's review
Somewhere between leftist electro hip-hop and lazy garage rock, Toronto's StopDieResuscitate demand attention with fuzzy basslines that spaz behind gray but catchy vocals about dim life in a big city. On the music map, we suppose they fall somewhere between M. Doughty and Busdriver.
Biography
A metropolis tends to eat its own at night. StopDieResuscitate, then, make the sound of paranoid dusk falling on a city street (with your name on it). Since 2002, this Toronto-based foursome of steady-grinding rap / electro whizkids has been honing its intense, informed musical vision that makes no time whatsoever for jaded scenes, industry ignorance, or tired sounds. Producer Lyle Crilly (aka Surge Gainsboard) is a MUTEK vet and knob-twiddler whose compositions have been described as "wizardly" (EYE Magazine), and Toronto music guru Denise Benson dubbed him "a genius" in a recent column. The man on the mic, coolhandLuke, is an impeccably dressed spitfire with a hawklike eye for observation and a wizened grip on industry trappings – which makes for some of the most bullshit-free post-everything emceeing you've ever heard.
