Before Montreal singer-songwriter Gus Englehorn was signed to Secret City Records he lived in a cabin in the woods and wrote 'Dungeon Master', the cutest, heaviest, strangest rock'n'roll record you will hear this year. Before he moved to the cabin he fell in love - in Salt Lake City, Utah - with a girl from Québec, whom he married one Friday the 13th. She would go on to become his drummer. Englehorn's electric visions are studded with synths and strings and manic pixie backing vocals, but at the heart of it is he and Estée's gnashing guitar and drums, turning the singer's darkest material - like on the stomping, paranoid 'Tarantula,' or the chapped and pleading 'Exercise Your Demons' - into blasts of catharsis.
