Earlier today, Noisey/VICE premiered Sheer Agony’s new VHS-shot video for “Good Cats Go To Heaven”, the second single from their self-titled 7”, which comes out tomorrow.
Sheer Agony is kind of like Chris Elliot’s character in Cabin Boy. Stick with me here. While other bands in Montreal set sail on the choppy seas of punk, garage rock, and harsh noise, these elegant fellows toss on their powdered wigs and dip from an entirely different pool. Zipping out off-kilter pop songs in the tradition of The Soft Boys, dB’s, and Homosexuals, their music strips away the scuzz and aims straight for the sweet spot. This week sees the release of Sheer Agony’s debut 7” from Fixture Records, so on top of an interview with frontman Jackson MacIntosh, the band decided to include the premiere of their music video and a specially compiled mix.
Head over to Noisey to read the full interview and download a free Sheer Agony-curated mixtape.
