Keith Canisius - This Time It's Our High

2010 release, the third full length release from the Cambridge, MA born Dane Keith Canisius. The album flirts with multiple genres simultaneously - Chill Wave, Shoegaze, Dreampop and Psychedelia and goes beyond these genre specifics. Keith's earlier albums (Rumskib, Ferris Wheel Make out, Waves) have a strong Shoegaze and Dreampop approach with the Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine aesthetics right upfront. On This Time It's Our High he moves closer to his own thing; making the album harder to define genre-wise as he blends so many elements together with elegance and without compromise. The result is a surreal, mood elevating sound combined with a fine pop sensibility that makes it easy to understand.
