Best of 2017 #5: Gesture - No Past, It Started All Over Again (Independent)

Vancouver's Gesture were a very short lived band, existing for just over a year. Their full-length album, No Past, It Started All Over Again, is a mix of low-fi indy rock, slow post punk and sheer weirdness that's incredibly captivating. Local taste-maker Andy Resto's vocals are extremely odd: reed-thin warbling on the edge of paranoid breakdown. If I could compare the band to another band, the closest I'd get would be The Residents, and that's only a tenuous comparison. A strange band with an even stranger album, you can't help but listen, if only for morbid curiosity.
