This EP offers a call and response between its musical content &#8211; a two-part dance suite and a bonus track &#8211; and its visual content: the album cover and the Suite&#8217;s two accompanying videos. Deploying methods of subversion by hijacking certain pop conventions, DOOMSQUAD plays on notions of accessibility and nostalgia to deliver biting cultural criticisms in a pretty package.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/doomsquad.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-13659\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/doomsquad.jpg?resize=300%2C300\" alt=\"doomsquad\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/doomsquad.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/doomsquad.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/doomsquad.jpg?resize=144%2C144&amp;ssl=1 144w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/doomsquad.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Track listing:<\/strong><br \/>\n1.

The trio create experimental dance music that&#8217;s heavily indebted to trance and psychedelia. As interdisciplinary artists, the band brings a wide range of influences to bear throughout their work. From far-reaching global beats to the sounds of their local community, it&#8217;s all thoughtfully curated and channeled into a project of immersion and unity. The result is a mesmerizing sonic landscape of dynamic repetition. DOOMSQUAD constructs a contemplative space for deep listening, within the music and within yourself.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on DOOMSQUAD, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.doomsquadmusic.com\" target=\"_blank\">doomsquadmusic.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Toronto&#8217;s DOOMSQUAD&#8217;s latest release,\u00a0the &#8216;Pagentry Suite&#8217; EP, is out now via Hand Drawn Dracula (CAN \/ ROW) and Bella Union (EURO\/UK).
