Drums! Guitar! Ukulele! Art-rock! Yes, art-rock! It seems like Toronto art-rock died when Les Mouches were hit by the flyswatter of fate. And perhaps it’s only Sister Suvi’s long-distance-relationship of Toronto and Montreal band members that can revive it. Their dancehall rhythms make you trip the light fantastic, while macabre and dreamscape lyrics carousel around like elegiac ghosts throwing all-night shebangs in your attic. Sister Suvi is that mysterious and gorgeous girl that makes the really strange paintings in art class. She exists in whispered rumours and try as you might, you just can’t take your eyes off her. — Kevin Parnell
