Apostle Of Hustle - Folkloric Feel

Apostle Of Hustle, a Canadian band composed of a cool threesome including the lead guitarist of Broken Social Scene, Andrew Whiteman, Julian Brown (multi-instrumentalist) and Dean Stone (percussionist) that made it's way into the alternative music scene 2 years ago. Featuring Feist, members of Broken Social Scene and Stars, and produced by Dave Newfeld, Apostle of Hustle brings a dreamy-mellow-emotion that's sometimes rare to find in music with their amazing debut album, "Folkloric Feel". It's, indeed, the-more-you-hear-it-the-more-you-like-it kind of music, some cool trip through a lot of different musical genres in the same album.

Broken Social Scene expanded their work a few years ago and continue to enjoy success worldwide, and is often called the breakthrough band in the Toronto's indie scene. There's a sort of a community of friends making good, bright-vibed music from Canada, like Stars, Valley Of The Giants, Feist, Jason Collett or The Most Serene Republic, alongside with Broken Social Scene and Apostle Of Hustle, all of them from the same Canadian label company, Arts & Crafts. The scattered "Folkloric Feel" sounds a bit like Broken Social Scene, but with some smart twisting that will leave you amazed with it's electric and acoustic guitars. Broken Social Scene's Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning even make appearances on Folkloric Feel. It's good to be creating an indie scene in the city where all your friends are helping you and making their own stuff. But somehow, they all end up soundin' a bit alike, but all of the projects have their own value.

The album is atmospheric, dreamy, with a chill out style but with way more rythm. it starts with "Folkloric Feel", a pseudo-progressive melodious track that serves well as an introduction to the whole album. "Baby Your in Luck" it's addictive. "Kings and Queens" sounds like Broken Social Scene and by the time you hear the excelent "They Shoot Horses Don't They", you'll notice time went out fast and you just felt good for a whole hour hearing this amazing album! So fuckin' recomended!
