****************************************************************************************

Picastro’s Liz Hysen had been due to hit the UK and Europe in April on a joint solo tour alongside long time friend Tony Dekker of Great Lake Swimmers in support of their respective bands most recent releases (Exit and The Waves, The Wake). A split 7” on Purple Vinyl was produced by Harbour Songs for a tour that hasn’t happened…yet.

For her contribution to Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada she joined forces with Justin Small of Do Make Say Think to form Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Heart. Inspired by the new found time to sit and observe and really hear the everyday, she began to craft the track, using sound collage and noise principles, sudden noise outbursts and digital crunch coming up against Small’s languid guitar playing, initially dissonant but coming together at the end.

When not working on DMST, Small has been involved in scoring alongside bandmate Ohad Benchetrit. The pair just completed the score for the breathtaking "Borealis" for the National Film Board (www.nfb.ca/film/borealis/) .

“There are lot of banal things that are musical. You don't have to look too hard. Once when I was on tour with Nadja, Aidan and I were talking about this quote where Kevin Shields was talking about the tri tones or whatever in house appliances when he was growing up and the writer found that fascinating. But in reality, every musician pays attention to that stuff!”

Not a bad track on this entire compilation. Five hundred stars. A broad range of pop tunes to help bring alt Xmas music the recognition it deserves. Jim
