Hey there, it’s Millar here again to dip into music’s great past and give you all another classic album/group to check out. This time around it’s The Band. Yes, the band’s name is “The Band”. Got that? Ok. It always...
One of the best albums of 2015 is by Josh Tillman, aka Father John Misty. Today, he drops a new video for the title track from this album, I Love You Honeybear. Perhaps not the video you would expect from...
Some new stuff from sister folk trio The Staves. Following up posted tracks Steady, and Black & White comes Teeth White, which is not a toothpaste advert. The video is filmed in a bar room, one of my favourite rooms...
Some lovely and delicate new stuff from Great Lake Swimmers. The Ontario folk rockers, and former PHM interviewees, are going to drop A Forest of Arms on April 21. Following up Zero in the City is the cool video for...
New stuff from Canadian indie folk act, Great Lake Swimmers. They have a new album, Forest of Arms, out April 21. They also have a new single called Zero in the City, which is exactly how many friends I have...
We last caught up with Irish band Villagers at NXNE in Toronto, where we saw singer Conor O’Brien play a solo show at Soho House. The Dublin act are back, with O’Brien in full bearded attire, and have announced Darling...
We have some lovely stuff from English trio The Staves. Bonus points for being sisters, too. The band released an EP last year with production work from Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon. He’s also produced upcoming album, If I Was. Our...
What’s in a name? It’s December and we have more new stuff from the Decemberists, and some might call that fitting. The quirky folk pop rockers are readying new album What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World (out January...
After being won over during an excellent Osheaga set in 2013, I’m happy to see the return of Father John Misty. The folk singer (and former Fleet Foxes drummer) has a new album called I Love You, Honeybear, out February...
First Aid Kit’s last album was well liked at the PeteHatesMusic headquarters, landing at the number 5 spot on our Top Albums of 2012, and their track Emmylou making our Top Songs of 2012. Well then, I’m as happy as...
Kalle Mattson won’t stop hitting us with good songs. First we heard the excellent Darkness, followed by An American Dream. Now we get A Love Song To The City, with the video filled with images from Sault Ste. Marie. I...
Something out of Northern Ireland for you. The track is the Bridge and is by the man with two first names, Daniel James. Here’s a little tidbit for you, too – the Bridge is based on a 1984 documentary about...
Some mellow, acoustic music for you. The track is by Western Front, which sounds more like a weather forecast than a band. Western Front is led by Brisbane, Australia artist Graham Akhurst. Amazingly, the track was written from a Brisbane...
The highlight of my day to this moment was going to the dentist, and that is just pathetic. Thankfully, there’s a new Basia Bulat song to improve both my day and my sad social status. The track is another one...
More new stuff from Death Vessel, following up that of Isla Drown (which featured Jónsi from Sigur Rós). The Rhode Islanders have a great new track called Mercury Dime. The track is a layered and melodic folk track that is...
