Art Fin Simple but hypnotic retro-sounding 1960's cool pop that is constructed from Kyle Jukka's samples with Audrey Ann's mesmerizing cooing on top. This charismatic, young Montreal duo with nice hair and big smiles has been getting much buzz on blogs. See the low-budget video made in the singer's bedroom:

Maps of Suburbia - EP - 2016


MAPS OF SUBURBIA is a collaboration fronted by Nick Perlman on lead vocals and guitar and backed by Andy Porta on drums, guitar, and mixing-board sorcery, Seth Nicholson on bass, and Danny Flinn on bodhrán, with everyone lending their vocal talents. 

Together they create a dynamic sound that slips back and forth between alt-country, surf-rock influenced folk and haunting soundscapes. Each song from "Maps of Suburbia" lingers somewhere between the past and present, and explores nostalgia, loss, and joy in equal measure.

Dark Mean - Settle Down- 2016



Yeah I guess we’ll see what you’re made of 
Yeah I guess we’ll see, once you settle down 

I don’t come around 

Yeah I guess you’ll see all your insides 
But I bet you’ll need a little bit of mine 

But summer’s up, the sun is out, I’m cooling off, I’m way outside your range 
Yeah but I won’t even, I won’t even change 

Don’t come around anymore 
I won’t come around anymore

Winter Waves - Bee and Bee - 2016


Some solid alternative rock with this underlining psych rock thread that runs throughout… Nice release…

The Wedding Present - Going, Going… - 2016



"This is a remarkable album by one of our most idiosyncratic bands. A joy from start to finish, Going, Going… is an album full of love delivered with style, speed and substance." [9/10, Louder Than War]

“The Wedding Present have never been afraid to wander off in strange directions... [and] their ninth long-player is in a similarly experimental vein.” [Q Magazine]

Going, Going… is an album that is full of left turns, sudden bursts of feedback-drenched guitars and luscious soundscapes. It is schizophrenic and unsettling yet full of beauty and melancholy. A hard album to grasp as it is constantly going through gear changes (even within the confines of one song) Going, Going… is the sound of a band throwing everything they have into the mix which has in turn created a work that is at once familiar yet progressive, homely and disturbing. louderthanwar

a Singer of Songs - Fading - 2016



A Singer of Songs are Lieven Scheerlinck, Laura Räsänen, Pau Julià & Frank Rudow. 

All these songs were written in a notebook by Lieven. Afterwards they were ripped from the pages, arranged and molded into the music you are listening to by Laura, Pau, Frank & Lieven. The four of them then went to Pastallé Sound, surrounded only by horses, hills and nothingness. Frank put wood on the fire and recorded the songs, praying for the wind to go silent. The ten songs were brought back to civilization and mixed by Frank in the intimacy of his home.
