Slim Twig @ Pop Montreal Festival
– Posted on October 1, 2007Posted in: Shows
Aphonia Recordings artist Slim tTig will be performing on October 4th & 5th at the POP Montreal festival.
Slim Twig is a Toronto based performer and songsculptor. Not yet 20, Slim has pursued his truly singular artistic vision since 2003. He has created more than two albums worth of material and performed in a score of clubs, including opening for such acts as Xiu-Xiu, the Dirty Projectors and the legendary Rheostatics. Slim has composed music for film, video and theatre and earned producer/ engineer Dale Morningstar’s informal “best recording of ’06” at the renowned Gas Station recording studio. Slim has numerous projects and events upcoming, including performances with his two-piece art punk band, Tropics, a collaboration with the Oscar nominated director, Hubert Sauper, and the release of Bruce MacDonald’s film, The Tracey Fragments, featuring a performance by Slim as ‘Billy Zero’. But it is as a songwriter that Slim will primarily be known. From 2005’s haunting cycle of apocalyptic folk, Livestock Burn, to the art pop experimentation of the Dissonant Folk sessions, and now in his concrete rockabilly phase, Slim Twig has demonstrated a remarkable sonic evolution. Inspired by pillars of the music & film avant garde like Scott Walker, Eno, Nick Cave, Thurston Moore, Godard, Lynch and Cronenberg, Slim’s restless, incisive intelligence is testament to a unique and utterly compelling musical imagination.

Aphonia Recordings is proud to announce that our online store is now functional and ready to dole out the experimental jams to the insatiable public.
Although we have privacy policies and terms and conditions of use of the site we haven’t connected them to the infrastructure of the site. Until that happens you can read these legal mumbo jumbo documents at the following links:
Of course none of this is required reading and sure enough it is really only interesting if you care about what we actually do with info that we collect from you, our adoring fans.
And please, we would love to hear from you! Write reviews! Post bulletins on Myspace! Tell everyone you know who is into experimental and weirdo pop music.
There will be continual and minor changes to the look of the site and we apologize in advance if this causes delays and pages not loading.
Also, we swear we will have interviews with our artists coming soon. Look for interviews with KRGA and Slim Twig. In the meantime, buy our stuff, and keep your eyes peeled for the merch that will be coming to the store soon.
All the best,
