DESCRIPTION:
The brainchild of Carl W. Heindl, Sincere Trade has been creating a stir in the Toronto electronic music scene for the past couple of years with numerous live performances and self-CDR releases. With the release of his debut album If You Cannot Beat Them (Dross:tik Records), Heindl has crafted a sound uniquely his own. Drawing on the early influence of Skinny Puppy, Depeche Mode, Muslimgauze, Kraftwerk and Brian Eno; Sincere Trade has crafted an album that draws from the past while shaping the future. Various appearances in local Toronto magazines and regular radio exposure on college and commercial airwaves (including Brave New Waves on CBC) have set the stage for a highly anticipated debut album. Sincere Trade is also busy at the grass roots level as a promoter (along with events partner Knifehandchop), responsible for the now infamous Math Hooker events that feature a variety of electronic music styles, djs and live acts all under one roof. Breaking through the traditional mold of music and culture has become standard practice for this motivated young musician.
