Life Stuff and the sparkle rock blended art punk of "Human Race" (Official Video)

 












"sun goes up and I'm stuck at the gate feeling it out for the human race..."

Life is not a rat race it is a human one and "Human Race" by Canadian artful indie rocker Life Stuff is a precise mish mash of sort of garage rock bathed in a sort of late 70's proto punk glam soaked sound. Yes, I know I used the pre-descripting "sort of" a lot but the more you listen to the shifting guitar work that feels power pop-esque while so exquisitely progressive too (the patterned notes and surprising falls feel Television-ish) and the wonderful vocal aesthetic spewing word play that feels dadaistic feels sort of (there I go again) space rock / glam pop / post punk. There is a lot of wonderful genre bending going on and I love that. 

Listening I thought of an amalgam of very interesting artists, some you will obviously know and some you will not but I implore you to check out those that you have never heard of so here goes. Life Stuff feels geared up artistically / aesthetically with the same musical D.N.A. or a collision of artists like early David Bowie, Bruce Woolley and the Camera Club, Television and The Soft Boys. Digging Life Stuff''s sound and vision and will be delving in more.

This is Life Stuff, a postmodern ruckus whose direct sound is equally influenced by indie rockers like Pavement and brash attitudes like The Ramones. The band records themselves, using new experimental techniques to look back on the history of indie rock n roll. Their back-to-the-basics style and casual sentiment only reveals the passion they put into each song.
