Something strange is brewing in Vancouver: one hippie-raised Dandilion Wind Opaine and her trusted friend and collaborator Szam Findlay are melding visual art, performance and some accessible art-damaged electro-weird rock — and they haven't moved to Europe to do it. Completing the circle of Yoko Ono's primal vocals, Peaches' synth-rap brashness and Le Tigre's playful dance party, Wind and Findlay's EP uses razor-sharp guitars and thumping beats and clashes them with ragga rhythms, steel-cold handclaps and whatever else the duo can scavenge. Their full-length CD/DVD is out later this year, but they've already shown they do this art-music coalescence infinitely better than Fischerspooner.
