Description
Canal Irreal – “Someone Else’s Dance” LP
The second full-length by this Chicago band of long-serving scene veterans is a profound step up from the previous self-titled album released in 2021. It follows a similar formula of fast-paced post-punk, equal parts intense energy and hooky melodies, with the addition of in-house improvements in terms of production, song writing and musicianship. The same as before, only better. This is what a band sounds like when each member has an extensive punk/hardcore record that spans the decades along with a fanatic’s enthusiasm for giving them regular spins. Collections that will contain all the classic records of early Mid-west American hardcore, UK anarcho punk, early 80s post-punk etc. etc. I have no idea whether this is literally the case here, but I’m 97% certain that it is. And they will mostly be originals too. If you liked Canal Irreal’s debut LP I can be pretty confident that you will like this one even more.
