Tired Cossack and the off kilter askew Canadian punk placery of "Velvet Night"

 

"I forgot now the touch of eyes"

"Velvet Night" by Tired Cossack and from his self titled EP feels raw and rough around the edges like a lost demo tape that you find up in the attic of an old house you are renting in an unfamiliar city up in Canada. Ok, I have a fertile imagination, I do but I suppose my point is that this track feels (to me) like a work in embryo that could of been in danger of being tossed aside or massaged to death until all of the odd, imperfect proto punk brilliance was wrung out of it. 

Lucky for us, or at least me, it is not a lost demo.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:

Tired Cossack is a sleepy, jittering, celebration of life’s anxious desire and the comfort in loneliness and longing nostalgia. Influenced by Neil Young, the Cure, and various post punk artists, his honest, introspective musings on friends, family, and loss combine with heavy and haunting riffs to put the listener surprisingly at ease in its meandering dissonance and catchy melodies.
