shi yi

shi yi, a duo from vancouver's underbelly, have a little album called s/t. what does it stand for? no clue. what does it sound like? have a listen.

personally, and that is what music is after all, personal, it invites me to be part of a quentin tarantino movie. a wild western setting, dusk, some 80's smoke in the background, close-ups of the locals' eyes, cowboys resting on porches with cigarettes hanging from the corners of their mouths, bar wenches going about their bar business...the camera pans out to reveal the whole picture, the looming danger of a cowboy duel. or shi yi.

i like it. for those melancholic moments humans a prone to, i think this is a fitting soundtrack to ponder life to, or if you have artsy friends coming over and want to impress them with your knowledge of the underground music scene, this should definitely do the trick.

i feel dark, mysterious and sexy already. pass the vodka. and the smoke machine.
