Album Notes

This CD will no longer be available when the current stock sells out.

Intricate drumming, played with punk intensity. The subterranean growl of a five-string bass. Infectious guitar riffs that echo in your skull for days. Then the singer opens her lips. A sweet, angelic melody, framing "heart-on-cardigan-sleeve" lyrics. Their songs are reminiscent of the raw energy of The Velvet Underground and Sonic Youth and the melodic sensibility of The Breeders.

Recorded live off-the-floor on an analog open-reel 4-track, in their 45 degree Celsius rehearsal space (a.k.a. The Sauna), Solar Eclipse captures the raw energy of the bands's live performances. They charted on CIUT (89.5 FM) in Toronto for three weeks (two weeks in the top 5) and on the national !earshot charts.

Signe Miranda formed the band in January of 2001, with a couple of friends she met at open stages in Toronto. Growing up in Belleville, Ontario, Signe developed her own songwriting style. This CD, recorded in 2002, features bassist Dietrich Sider, driving the band's sound with his energetic approach, drummer Jamie Tanner, a five-year veteran of Toronto's hardcore scene, with his intense improvisational style that forms the bedrock of the band and lead guitarist and back-up vocalist Dominic von Riedemann's melodic guitar riffs that ooze energy and edginess.
