Posted by on May 21, 2013 Comments Off


Dirty Beaches is one of my favorite musicians at the moment.
I don’t think Alex will need my approval of positivity and Asian solidarity but I am going to give it to him anyways. :P
Dirty Beaches has been on a wild ride since the critical acclaim and success from Badlands which came out in 2011.
Now he will do something ambitious which the double album “Drifters/Love Is The Devil” which drops on May 21st through Zoo Music.
Total of 16 tracks. Drifters with 8 tracks and Love Is The Devil with 8 tracks.
Drifters/Love Is The Devil is a reflection on the fragility of reality.

I went to the 8th Ottawa Community Record Show that took place at St. Anthony’s Hall in Ottawa.

Pick a Piper [Album Review]

Posted by on March 18, 2013 Comments Off


When I heard that Pick a Piper was going to finally drop their long awaited debut album on April 2nd through Mint Records.
I just had to listen to it!
If you aren’t familiar with Pick a Piper.
It is a collaborative project by Caribou drummer Brad Weber with Angus Fraser and Dan Roberts.
2009 was the first time I saw them play live when I went to Toronto.
Finally 2013 could be the year for them if you are inkling for something Caribou-related.
The album is 8 tracks of pure atmospheric psychedelic-pop and electro-dance music.

You can say there is some hype surrounding Rhye‘s debut album Woman.
They sort of quietly crept in the scene late 2012 with their song The Fall.
Rhye is Mike Milosh and Robin Hannibal.
Think of smooth sensual R&B electronica.
Cross between Sade, Zero 7 and The Weeknd.
