New Tune from PS I Love You

Leave a comment

friendsI kind of sort of want to move to Ontario.  Well, not really because I can’t cut it in the cold. But, that being said, this track from Ontario’s PS I Love You is really fitting into my listening rotation.  There’s something oddly pleasing about the vocals…there’s this weird little hiccup in the pronunciation, and it catches just right.  Speaking of catch…those guitars have a nice little hook going on too.  Their new record For Those Who Stay is filled with such bits, with the bands typical penchant for darker melodies present throughout.  Be on the look out for it on July 22nd via Paper Bag Records.

New Music from Frog Eyes

Leave a comment

blackoutbeachAdmittedly, Carey Mercer’s voice requires some adjustment; it’s so unique and powerful that it puts people on notice almost immediately…you either love it or you don’t. Me? I dig it.  I’m excited to see what the next Frog Eyes album, Carey’s Cold Spring, will sound like in full.  Interestingly, his voice is really high in the mix here, which means the focus for this track, and possibly for the album, will be on his lyrical wordplay.  That’s always been something special in his writing, which is why he’s been a favorite of mine for some time. The record will be released on June 17th via Paper Bag Records. Give this a try and see if it’s to your liking.

More From Young Galaxy

Leave a comment

Deluxe Edition of Ultramarine promotion continues.

Young Galaxy has another track up to send a shiver to your giggly bits. This one has a bit of a Eurythmics feel, in their darker times, a track Marilyn Manson would consider remaking. Maybe it can restart his career. I have seen pictures from recent shows. I guess he still tours. I have never seen Nathan and Marilyn Manson together. I am suspicious.

Back to Young Galaxy, I like this song. Quite a bit. You should, too.

New Track from Elliott BROOD

Leave a comment

Way up North in Canada, we often forget that it’s covered with vast wilderness, which definitely plays a huge role, at least in our eyes, of Elliott BROOD.  The good people up at Paper Bag Records will be releasing Days Into Years on September 27th, and they tossed out a free tune today to get you prepared for the band’s release.  Melodies trickle into your ear at every point, and the smokiness of the vocals definitely provides you with a connection to the vast woodlands that cover the majority of Canada.  If you’re looking for hooks and typical Montreal pop, don’t look here, as this group offer a more panoramic view of the Canadian music-scape.

New Track (and album) from Rural Alberta Advantage

One comment

In case you missed out on the last Rural Alberta Advantage album, Hometowns, you’ll have a chance come March 1st to grab their new one, Departing.  The band created quite a buzz with their last effort, so our bet is that this round will be no different than the last.  It’s going to be coming out on Paper Bag Records, with a little help from the great kids over at Saddle Creek.  The intro really uses the cutting guitar to build some tension, but then the vocals kick in, using the pounding rhythm to really kick up the pace.  Just listening to this track makes you appreciate the spirit of the band.  Consider me stoked, brah.

New Tunes from Laura Barrett

laura_rcrdlbl11While I admit that I know very little about the instrument the kalimba, I do know a great deal about good voices.  This song from Laura Barrett features just one of those great voices, accompanied by a lot of really unique instrumentation.  The song comes from Barrett’s Victory Garden set to be released on Paper Bag Records February 24th.
