"An alluring appetizer, lush with synths, sax and sultry vocals"
- Brooklyn Vegan

"Hypnotic, haunting, and drenched in soothing synths and transfixing saxophone"
- The Big Takeover

“Cinematic and intense.”
- Ottawa Magazine

Today Ottawa-Hull-based indie-rock band Pony Girl announce  their forthcoming LP, Enny One Wil Love You, due October 14 via Paper Bag Records. To kick off the release of their debut album with Paper Bag, they have shared the record's first single, "Age of Anxious." The track explores themes of isolation in the digital age through dark comic vignettes & absurdist situations. It’s a sitcom for rats with a side of existential dread.

Here we are: The Haunted Youth and its new single ‘Gone’. And it's right on target again: a fascinating slab of Psych/Dream Pop reminiscent of the best of DIIV, Beach Fossils, The Cure or Spiritalized.

Previous singles, ‘Teen Rebel’ and ‘Coming Home’, have gone viral, being covered by the likes of KEXP, NME, Consequence of Sound, Kerrang!, FIP, 3FM and Radio Eins. ‘Coming Home’ even made it to Song of the Day on KEXP.

Dave Monks • On a Wave • 2020

dinealonerecords.com

Canadian songwriter and long-time Tokyo Police Club frontman Dave Monks has premiered his video for “On A Wave,” the title track from his debut solo album

On A Wave was produced by Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck), whom Monks had worked with twice previously, most recently on Tokyo Police Club’s 2018 album TPC. For On A Wave, Monks needed a comfortable setting to write and record—one where he could survey everything that had gone on in his life the past couple of years—and he found it in Schnapf’s Eagle Rock, LA studio. He wrote dozens of songs that explore various emotional states and are connected by an abiding sense of whimsy, which Monks discovered despite the ebbs and flows of his relationships, moves from New York to Toronto, an album cycle, and over a year of touring. On A Wave ultimately feels a fresh start. Something new. Or, perhaps, simply acceptance.
