Listen! Anjou – Fieldwork
We continue our streak of instrumental and experimental sounds on PHM. After the latest from MONO and CFCF, we bring you more new stuff from Kranky signing Anjou. If you recall, which I don’t even though I wrote the last...

Listen! CFCF – Prisma
We have a gentle, ambient song to help ease you into your week. The track is by Montreal producer CFCF, who has featured on PHM several times. CFCF has a new instrumental song that was contributed to the Driftless Recordings...
Listen! MONO – Where We Begin
Japanese post-rock band, MONO, have returned with a double whammy of new albums for us fans. It looks like they’ve copied the Guns ‘N Roses template for releasing two albums, as they’ll drop both The Last Dawn and Rays Of...
Listen! Stars – Turn It Up
How do you follow up a 6 and a half minute dancey lead album single? If you’re Stars, you release a back to school lyrically themed song, to get over the depression of school starting up again. Hello trigonometry! Actually,...
Watch! HAERTS – Giving Up (Lyric Video)
After giving us endless EPs and quality singles, indie synthpop pleasers HAERTS have announced their self-titled debut album, out October 28. Our first listen of this album is the tune Giving Up, which is what I’ve nearly done a dozen...
PeteHatesMusic End of Summer Mix: Best Music from June, July, and August
Well, well, well. My calendar tells me that summer is all but over, but the sweat on my couch in my non-air conditioned house tells me otherwise. Due to my World Cup travels and constant summer laziness hangovers, I’ve decided...
Listen! SOHN – The Chase
Some more new stuff by PHM favourite SOHN. One track that didn’t make the cut for Tremors is The Chase. But it seemingly made the cut for the Internet, so that’s something I guess. The Vienna via London singer has...
Listen! TOPS – Outside
Some slow, dreamy pop from a band called TOPS. Maybe you’ll even catch them on TOPS of the POPS one day? The band’s album is out September 2, so you can listen to the track Outside all weekend to gear...
Watch! Paper Lions – Philadelphia
Although Paper Lions’ album My Friends came out just over a year ago, it doesn’t mean the Charlottetown indie rockers can’t keep making videos from it (unless that breaks some law I’m unaware of). The band’s latest video is called...
Listen! Misun – Goodbye Summer
D.C. indie band Misun have a slow tune for us to wave goodbye to summer. Although given Toronto’s recent “humid wave”, maybe summer is just beginning? Dare to dream! Unlike riotous tunes like Blah or Sleep, Goodbye Summer is a...
Listen! Childish Gambino – Candler Road
New stuff from rapper Childish Gambino. We don’t know where the song will end up, as it ain’t on last year’s Because the Internet, and the Internet ain’t telling us where its from, well, because. The new song is called...
Listen! Ekó – Haust
We once again feature Ekó (aka Lárus S. Jóhannesson, who induces accent-envy for me). We featured his ambient instrumental A Long Melodic Line EP and now have another song in similar vein. The song is called Haust, and has no...
Watch! The War on Drugs – Under The Pressure
Arguably the best track on one of the better albums of 2014 collide in the video below. The band are the somewhat terribly named The War on Drugs, and the track is the nearly 9 minute jam Under The Pressure...
Listen! Kele – Doubt
Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke has another solo effort, following up that of Boxer and some EPs. The singer’s new album is called Trick and is out next month. Can we maybe start a meme or a caption contest with the...
Listen! Interpol – Ancient Ways
Indie mainstays Interpol return with another track off of the Interpol-anagram titled album, El Pintor. The song is called Ancient Ways and is our third taste of the new album, due in September. And how does it taste? We have...
