Phedre – Golden Age

Phèdre – Golden Age (DAPS Records)

Toronto’s Phèdre are a mystical musical outfit centered around core members April Aliermo and Daniel Lee, who also play in the solid surf rock band Hooded Fang. Their self-released 2012 debut was recorded in an attic in less than a week with the help of Doldrums’ Airick Woodhead and plenty of wine, and sounded like an appropriately loose and giddy amalgamation of several decades and genres of pop music, touching most often upon disco and post-punk a la David Bowie and Iggy Pop. Its follow-up, Golden Age, is another DIY affair, quickly written and recorded by Lee and Aliermo in Berlin last winter. Though somewhat gloomier than its predecessor, it’s an even more infectious and accomplished-sounding heady pop concoction that just might take you to a higher plane.
