- 4 / 5

With
a legacy bested only by the length of his beard, Ian Blurton has
emerged as something of a godfather in the Toronto indie rock
community. When he's not mixing and producing and all that crap, he
still manages to pillage and plunder with the best of 'em with his
power trio, the mighty C'mon. Bottled Lightning (Of An All Time High)
proves that, even after 25 years of toeing the line on Queen Street
West, Blurton still has an ample amount of piss in his vinegar and the
result is something equally as salty. An audio extremist in the true
sense of the word, Blurton keeps things cranked at all times. Even when
Final Fantasy's Owen Pallett checks in to lend some strings, his
efforts are immediately dwarfed by C'mon's dense, riff-happy artillery.
