Toronto natives Ginla comprise of Joe Manzoli and Jon Nellen who are a fairly mysterious bunch at the moment. There are no pictures of them and their website is solely filled with a static film loop of a car going past with their second track, “Almost Plastic”, placed in the middle.
Their first track, “My Brain Is A Filter”, serves as a short instrumental intro to the duo. As wave samples crash and glittering synths collide, a propulsive, clattering drumbeat stampedes the otherwise dreamy atmosphere of “Almost Plastic”. The beat overpowers the light vocals, nicely finished with a touch of reverb.
In essence, Ginla sound like early Animal Collective, which is certainly enough reason to listen to their latest offering. Stream “Almost Plastic” below.
