Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic It’s May! It’s not warm in Toronto – people are still wearing those ridiculous Canada Goose jackets. Canadian Music Week is about to begin. So much goodness abound, but let me add to it for you. May I...
You heard the latest Layla track Black Mud earlier on PHM. How about you stream the whole EP instead? We get 5 tracks from the English singer. She has a sweet but powerful voice, and plays a blend of melodic...
I need to seriously clear out some of my ‘good music’ bookmarks. More importantly, I also need to share some good music with you fine readers (assuming there is more than one of you). This brings up to the Weekend...
In the height of my illness, English band Elbow dropped a video for a lovely new song called My Sad Captains. As I slowly clear out my bookmarks and return to solid foods, you might even get a post about...
Sorry for the lack of Morning Music Notes – I’ve been sick all week and my bed has been calling me. I make my triumphant return today, along with some new music from Aussie electro dancers Strange Talk. Off of...
More goodness in the form of ambient and electronic instrumental music for you. We’ve featured the Eluvium-Explosions in the Sky group Inventions before, with their tracks Peaceable Child and Entity. We (or rather, record label Temporary Residence) has launched the...
Several British bands headline festivals in their homeland, but play clubs in North America. One band that is starting to make the breakthrough is Arctic Monkeys, who sold lots of copies of AM. Another band trying to crack the code...
As we gear up for hearing nothing but Coldplay on the radio for the rest of 2014, the English band have given us another listen of what we’ll be hearing non-stop. The 2nd single from upcoming new release Ghost Stories...
More lovely ambient instrumental stuff from Hiss Tracts. Following up halo getters and for the transient projectionist comes …shortwave nights. Featuring a slow, repetitive lead line, we hear droning sounds of strings and other sounds fighting to compliment this moody...
More stuff from LA singer Banks, who is finally making waves outside of the blogosphere. We’ve featured her, oh, a half dozen times, including her London EP. The dark pop singer has a new track called Goddess, surely not named...
Some lovely indie pop from Grand Cousin. The track is called Oxygen, which they sell in a can nowadays – how about that?! The track has a sunny, poppy feel, with a mix of guitars and a bit of a...
More stuff from English singer Layla. Following that of Yellow Circles comes what is all over my finest jacket – Black Mud. The track has a big sound to it, with layers of sounds and music complimenting the big, sweet...
New stuff from Canadian indie rocker Reignwolf. Following up his track Are You Satisfied? comes Lonely Sunday, which would describe my afternoon spent creating a zombie world of gummi bears on my kitchen table. Reignwolf (Jordan Cook to his neighbours)...
Some simple, essentially wordless but vocal-filled melodies from #XI, featuring Sundays, who herself has featured on PHM a few times (Hope It’s Enough and World We Own). It may feature Sundays but its great for your Friday. Dig in below.
After a stunning debut by Vaults and their track Cry No More, the band have returned with another song, and another good one at that. The track is Premonitions – I had a feeling they would call it that. Full...
