They describe this song as Symphonic Rock on SoundCloud, and that is quite accurate – strings added to a rock song. The “they” in that last sentence is the band Mother Falcon. Unrelated to music, but they have a cool,...
We featured some stuff from self-proclaimed “intergalactic hip hop” music maker, The Child of Lov. The Dutch artist definitely has a unique take on things, as you can hear on a few tracks that are on the debut album he...
Since Daughter just played Toronto on Tuesday, I thought we should feature the B-side they just put up on YouTube a few days ago. The track is called Drift, and is the B-side to their single Human, off of debut...
We get our third listen of the new City and Colour album, as singer Dallas Green readies his fourth album. We’ve already heard Of Space and Time and Thirst, and now we get to hear the title track from The...
The Mary Onettes keep on rockin’ those 80s vibes with good success, according to my inner 80s ears. The Swedish band have laid down these vibes on earlier tracks Evil Coast as well as Hit the Waves. We now get...
Yippy – our third taste of the new record by The National. First we had Demons, then we had Don’t Swallow the Cap, and now we have Sea of Love (which is the nickname of the Dead Sea, right?). The...
We’ve featured MS MR several times on this site during the build up to their album. And what better climax than to eat your weight in candy stream the entire album. The debut album, Secondhand Rapture, is now streaming below....
This is about as literal as you can get when making a music video. Yeah Yeah Yeahs are following up the excellent Sacrilege with a video for Mosquito. It stars – wait for it – a mosquito! And it sucks...
Editors are back with a new track and a new album. After an excellent debut with The Back Room, the back shifted directions, most recently trying out electronic music on In This Light and On This Evening. The band return...
One of my favourite releases from 2011 was Visions by Grimes. She has a new video, but not for anything from Visions and not for a new track. So where is it from? Her 2010 debut, Geidi Primes. She wrote...
We first heard from Gold & Youth with their stunning debut of Jewel. In anticipation of next week’s album, the whole album is streaming. Just what your Monday needed – all of Beyond Wilderness. We are working on setting up...
Thom Yorke is picking and choosing his media as he somewhat promotes his new album with Atoms for Peace. And here I thought my endless love notes posts were promotion enough. Yorke played the Jonathan Ross show by himself, just...
Vampire Weekend have a lyric video for a track name that sounds a bizarro version of an Outkast song – Ya Hey. The track is lifted off of upcoming album, Modern Vampires Of The City. Is it just me, or...
If you’re wondering what that bright, luminous object is in the sky in Toronto, it’s apparently called the sun. Yes, it’s finally sunny in Toronto, and that means we’ve skipped spring yet again and have moved straight into summer. We...
We have something new out of Montreal via Calgary for you today. The band are Braids, which I’ve learned do not look good in my hair. The band’s debut album was shortlisted for the Polaris Prize in 2011. The new...
