MP3: Pat Jordache – Hunger
Pat Jordache – Hunger
Everything Pat Jordache does, we love. This is him at his most Pere Ubu, but we definitely think he’s channeling some of his inner Sean Nicholas Savage as well. It’s a lovely weird and dirty song.

Pat Jordache – Phantom limb
New video for an old Pat Jordache song, directed by the insanely creative Karneef. We thought we may have posted this a long time ago, but whatever video was made before has been replaced by meowing kittens (also a pretty great video, to be fair).
New Release: Various Artists – Taste of Savage
Majical Cloudz – Kisses Like A Girl (Sean Nicholas Savage cover)
Mozart’s Sister – Standing In A Line (Sean Nicholas Savage cover)
Everyone in the Canadian music community is aware of Sean Nicholas Savage‘s reputation as an incredible songwriter. He’s released ten-odd albums, each of which contains countless treasures, so it’s no surprise to see such luminaries as Doldrums, Majical Cloudz, Mac DeMarco, Pat Jordache, and so many more covering his tunes on this brand new compilation, available for free from Arbutus Records. Sean is set to release an important full-length in 2013, one that he’s been working on for over a year (a long time for him).
Silent Shout is presenting Sean’s performance at Double Double Land in Toronto on Feb 15, with performances from AGOR of Blue Hawaii and Sexy Merlin, and Cadence Weapon and Doldrums DJing.

Debut: Camp – Little Boy Blue
Camp – Little Boy Blue
Camp is a new project from Tops bass player Thom Gillies and Cameron MacLean, and “Little Boy Blue” is an excellent grooving synthy R&B track produced by Pat Jordache. Another incredibly exciting new Montreal band!
Top 25 Songs of 2012
2012 has been the strongest year in memory for Canadian electronic pop. Established artists started new electronic projects, amazing new talents appeared seemingly out of nowhere, and one of our shining stars became a superstar recognized the world over. Canada is clearly at the epicenter of the zeitgeist – it’s a testament to the unbelievable talent in this country that we have 100 songs to present to you as the best of the year, and STILL had to exclude so many excellent tracks.
Montreal and Toronto may still have the most representatives of any Canadian city, but dark electro is thriving everywhere, from Halifax to Calgary, Ottawa to Vancouver, and exciting new hotbeds appearing in London, Ontario, and Grande Prairie, Alberta. We’re not too exclusively nationalist here at Silent Shout, so border states (minus NYC) appear too, with artists from Minneapolis, Seattle, and Brattleboro, Vermont making our list.
A huge thank you to all our readers, the folks who attend our events, and the bands that make brilliant music across this land for making 2012 an unforgettable year for us. Here’s to an even bigger 2013 for Canadian electronic music.

MP3: Pat Jordache – Steps (Damaged Goods)
Oooh, new music from Pat Jordache, whose FUTURE songs was one of the best albums of 2010. “Steps” is an awesome new direction too, fast and funky new wave. One of the best songs of the year, no doubt.
Guide to CMW Dark Electro Pop – Friday Edition
There is so much dark electro pop happening at the Canadian Music (Week) Fest. Check back here every day as we post the shows that you simply need to attend.
We would be remiss if we didn’t mention former Silent Shout headliners Powers and Foxfire right off the bat. These two bands are a perfect pairing of straight-up awesome. Catch them at The Comfort Zone at 12 and 1 am. Arriving for The Wilderness at 11 pm beforehand is also a really good idea, especially if you like good post-punk synthy goodness.
Put The Rifle Down, another former Silent Shout headliner, will be going on first at The Baitshop around 8 pm. Followed by Freedom or Death and BA’BE, this early show is an excellent way to get your night started.
Enough with Toronto! If you want to fill your night with Montrealers, make sure to head to The Drake for the POP Montreal Showcase, specifically to see Pat Jordache at 10 pm and Technical Kidman at 11 pm. How about BC? Humans are great. They are playing the Rivoli at 1 am along with Top Less Gay Love Tekno Party (terrible, terrible name. I guess that’s the point?) at midnight.
Then, of course, there’s always Good Charlotte…
Video: Pat Jordache – Phantom Limb
Pat Jordache has just made a cool video for “Phantom Limb,” which was one of our favourite songs of last year. The excellent album that contains it, Future Songs, is set to be re-released on Constellation Records. Watch for it!
Top Songs of 2010 Pt. 1
As you probably noticed, Silent Shout is a blog, and is therefore morally and legally obligated to post a year-end best-of list. It’s been an excellent year for Canadian electronic music and an excellent inaugural year for Silent Shout. Canada definitely has some of the best indie electronic acts in the world and there are plenty more that we weren’t able to include on this list. That said, here are our champions! Yesterday: our top albums and music videos. Today and tomorrow: our top songs of the year!
43. Radio Radio – 9 Piece Luggage Set
42. Easyboy – Concerning Technology

Pat Jordache – Phantom Limb
One of my favourite songs of this year. Pat Jordache hails from Montreal, is late of unsung indie superstars Sister Suvi, and his excellent album Future Songs is available on a pay-what-you-can basis at his bandcamp.
