This compilation from Vancouver’s Mint Records and UBC’s CiTR is a great taste of the Left Coast’s pop scene. With 14 tracks spread over two sides of lovely, limited edition vinyl (complete with hand numbered, recycled DIY silk screened packaging) runs the gamut from lo-fi electro fun (“On/Off” by Fanshaw) to jangly pop (“1-2-3-4 Get Fucked” by Movieland) to catchy ass punk rock (“In My Socialist Choir” by Korean Gut). Marketed as both a local sampler and a fundraiser for CiTR, this LP is a beauty compilation that only scratches the surface of Vancouver’s vibrant music scene. Could be cool to see CKUW and Stylus pull something similar together for next year’s FUNdrive / Stylus’s 25th Anniversary? (Mint Records, citr.ca) Sheldon Birnie
