Download LIONESS' MP3 - "You're My Heart"
There couldn't be a better name for this Toronto mystical disco three piece. Lioness' Vanessa Fischer, AKA the soul-punk queen of No Dynamics, boasts one of the most primal voices in all of Canada, a surprising roar more befitting of the Serengeti than Southern Ontario. Joining her in the aptly named venture are controller.controller vets Jeff Scheven and Ronnie Morris, whose propensity for dark, stomping disco pulses only further accentuates Fischer's show-stopping wail.
Forming only one short year ago, the band has put the early fruits of its labor together on a self-titled EP, produced by Rob Sanzo at Signal to Noise and delivered by the fine folks at New Romantic.
The sound? Everything from a synth shoved through a lawn mower to a Nintendo dying in the desert. All replete with the kind of impassioned howls and fuzzed-up bass lines that'd make The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Death From Above 1979, and Shiny Toy Guns jealous with envy.
