For those not familiar with the music of Toronto’s Slim Twig who is signed to Paperbag Records. It is basically a one man musician by Max Turnbull. I haven’t seen him live but somewhat heard some buzz about it. Not just a musician, he is also a actor too. Apparently he was in the movie …
Anyone remembers the Toronto band Spiral Beach? It’s sad that the band parted ways. Dorian Wolf is now with Austra. Airick Woodhead is doing his own thing called Doldrums. Doldrums is far different from the Spiral Beach days. The music is more on the experimental weird dancey pop sound. Have a listen to his mixtape.
Wow thanks to Stereogum, I wouldn’t have known that Nat Baldwin is going to drop a new solo debut album called People Changes on May 24th on Western Vinyl. The only time I got to see him live was catching the last song of his set on November 18, 2010. Check out the tracks Lifted …
One of the biggest surprised from 2010 going into 2011 was Austra (aka Katie Stelmanis) being signed to Domino Records. Having only seen her live set last year at NXNE. Was the most talked about set at CMW and SXSW. There was a lot of intrigue to what her music will sound like. Even Basia …
Halifax’s Long Long Long seem to be releasing new materials like candy. Wanting them to very well in 2011. I was going to do a short review on this (A long title if you say it one breath!) EP called album name A Girl Drinking Orange Juice Feels Acids On The Sides Of Her Tongue. …
Colin Stetson seems to be a musician in his who rights. Helping out bands like Arcade Fire and Bell Orchestre. Having seen live for the first time in 2009 when opening up for Bell Orchestre. I am still in awe with his performance and playing that gigantic bass Saxophone. There will be some people who …
This flew by under the radar. Glad that Constellation Records is giving Pat Jordache‘s 2010 Future Songs the remaster & reissue treatment. The re-issue with a new album artwork will drop on April 26th. Going to review the album when it came out last year which was free on Bandcamp (not available) and was ranked …
Forgot to upload these photos from the April 2nd show at Zaphod Beeblebrox. Toronto’s The Wilderness was the headliner of the show. This was my first time check out this band.
I am going to take my chances (probably life) and review Timber Timbre‘s album before the drop date of April 5, 2011 on Arts & Crafts. Be like the scene from Frankenstein with a mob of people with their pitchfork and torches to condemn this review (Hence this teaser). Reading the Exclaim article that the band is …
After been blown away from their live set back in January. I was surprised to receive an email from Brad of Long Long Long. They are “somewhat” releasing new songs from an upcoming 7″ single with collaboration with Weird Canada’s 99 Sevens Series in the summertime. If you don’t know what the 99 Sevens Series, …
