Born Gold

Experimental PopFFO: The Knife / Grimes / Purity Ring / AlunaGeorge

Canada's BORN GOLD, is Cecil Frena of Gobble Gobble, which also featured Corin & Megan of Purity Ring.

Two years ago, Cecil Frena's band Gobble Gobble was at the center of a burgeoning artistic collective of Canadian electronic artists that spread from his native Edmonton to Montreal: demonstrative both sonically and visually, committed but goofy, manically dancing on stage, using hockey gear for percussion... that kind of thing. In 2012, he's still in the middle of things but a lot more people are paying attention. His friend and colleague Claire Boucher has become indie's breakout star of the year as Grimes and his former bandmates in Gobble Gobble aren't far behind: that would be Megan James and Corin Roddick of Purity Ring."
