Jackson Reed - Dark Areas of Description - 2018


A native of Northern Ontario, Reed has undertaken many creative ventures and this album, his second as a solo act, is the most recent. 'Dark Areas of Description', in comparison to Reed’s previous album The November Gales, is a journey through uncharted waters while simultaneously being true to his folk roots.

Pinegrove - Cardinal - 2016


a five piece rock hard at work in the promotion of introspective partying! a band living out dreams in a reflective lattice of flavor and strength!! From the glass-lined tanks of old Montclair... we tender this premium aural experience!!!


Yusef S The music is raw and timeless, but the effect is even greater: Pinegrove brings life to deadening nights and makes you feel somehow optimistic about the day after.

The Henrys - Quiet Industry - 2015


Toronto Star: 

"Old instruments, new sounds’ is the way Rooke describes what The Henrys do - they extract from a resonator guitar and other plucked acoustic instruments the harmonics, overtones and oblique noises behind the rustic notes to create landscapes that are aston­ishingly romantic, frightening, sexual, spiritual - and quite beautiful. Brave new music."

Hayden Skaggs - Thistill - 2014


Country flare with a folk sentiment; Hayden Skaggs has got a deep rooted voice that fits very well with the bluegrass textures he puts over it...

Sally Fowler - I Will Cry At Your Funeral - 2014


So natural, yet feels like Sally is not from this world. Listening to her songs I feel like my chest is too big for my body. 

Fowler uses repetition, minimal orchestration, and restrained vocalization to focus the listener and tell more engaging stories. An old-soul record.
