The eclectic DIY alt-folk project of Ontario based indie newcomers Tractor Beam is hard to pin down. Shapeshifting from soft spoken freak folk to indulgent noisy indie-rock, their live set is equally eclectic. Back with their new double EP out Feb. 19 with features their North American College Radio hot 200 charting Early Reflections collection. The band which has gone through a number of iterations since it’s inception is brought together by frontman & producer/engineer Sasha Balazic and rounded out with a rotating cast of collaborators and contributors.
On their new Double EP, Toronto native Sasha Balazic & Co. ponder every avenue of the young band's eclectic DIY sound. “I warned you / that we are not alone! / There are monoliths in Johannesburg / There are more popping up every day!” opens the front-person tenderly, over break beats and acoustic guitar on the lead single. MONOLITHS AND THE EARLY REFLECTIONS EP is a purging of creative detritus, an exploration of indie aesthetics, and honestly, a complilation of songs that sound good with each other.
