Fembots - Calling Out

Fembots - Calling OutToronto’s Fembots have come a long way from the duo’s tool-shed and junkyard origins. Dave MacKinnon and Brian Poirier launched the post-industrial folk group with songs performed on power tools and instruments created from garbage. Their fourth CD, created with drummer Nathan Lawr and experimental instrument maker Iner Souster, is a sprawling roots-rock opus. From the moody opener “Good Days” to the wistful “Ship Breaking,” which closes the album, the evocative music lingers like a vivid dream.
