CARBON DATING SERVICE (11:30pm)

Saskatoon’s sping thaw has flooded Carbon Dating Service out of the basement with Polyentendrii, an album that bobs on its very own raft built of duct-taped trombones, flugelhorn, harp, viola, synthesizers, thumb piano, banjo and whirligigs. Exploring their backgrounds in classical, jazz, cute things, lo-fi indie rock and Dungeons & Dragons, Carbon Dating Service spent the winter feverishly disassembling and reassembling songs like malfunctioning electronic appliances. The result is eight unforgettable compositions, with loving attention paid to Masterpiece Theatre flourishes, arm-linking choral interludes, catchy baroque canons and the odd snow-melting explosion.

MAYBE SMITH (10:30pm)

Maybe Smith is Colin Skrapek, a striking one-piece ensemble who relishes in the comfort of a harsh Saskatchewan winter.

The result is Animals & Architects, Maybe Smith's fourth full-length effort and fifth release overall since 2002. An album full of rollicking pop songs, Animals & Architects is sparked at every chord change with sing-along vocals, pounding drums and curious electronics. From the opening guitar line and closing la-la's of lead-off track "Open War", through to the piano banging and electronic chaos of closer "Bad Swimmer", this delightful wall-of-sound is like a wonderfully bizarre combination of Phil Spector and Frank Gehry.
