I woke up today thinking, Remember Fraggle Rock? You know, small puppets live underground, sing and dance and explore their individuality, try to avoid the talking garbage pile? Well The Lava Children sound like a trippy, sparkly dark day under ground with the Fraggles. And I like it, especially this grey morning. Also, their number [...]

Quiet genius, stitching odd, solo artists together on the quiet web is Clues man Brendan Reed. When we speak on the phone, or at that cafe where I used to do my laundry, we stumble onto eachothers words with the fits and starts of excited nerds with shared ideas and nervous temperments. The music his [...]

Merrill Garbus of Sister Suvi is one of my absolute favorite local Montreal performers, the band is heroic, but her solo stuff under the name tUnE-yArDs makes me cheer and blog effusively. She exudes dearness and come nearness and a pocketful of hard to swallow hollars and harmonies and bright bits of sharp put-you-in-your-placedom for [...]

Check out this pretty, mellow track, “Like the Sea,” a Pete Rivett-Carnac mix from Tegan Northwood’s new album out today, Last Days of Home from Endgame Records which, come on, is a great play and label name. If you don’t have a nearby sea you can stare into while you listen, I recommend the sun [...]

This is a gorgeous track I wanted to quickly share with you from Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby, reminds me of that scene in Stranger than Fiction, and also Holly Golightly, but I love Amy Rigby’s lower register and her ability to deliver a rap-like jazzy spoken word riff with utter un-tacky calm, and Wreckless [...]

New Orleans knows a little something about funky, liberating, musical experiments and Theresa Andersson is no exception, inspired by the smells and earthy sounds and shapes of things in the submerged town, far from the sweet Swedes of her youth, she made a pop record that goes beyond the over-used descriptor “organic” to something salty, [...]

It’s funny, the song says “oh the blue sunshine, I wish the days were always night” and it’s one of those hazy lines where suddenly in the singing I know exactly what it means. The song gets a little too psych for my tastes, in a way that I’m not certain was necessary, but I’m [...]

Signed to Montreal-based indie label Apegenine records, this international collective called :papercutz makes danceable, longing-sweetened electro pop. I think you might like it.
:papercutz is about left-field and adventurous pop music.
Started as Bruno’s music project they’re now a group with multi-instrumentist Francisco Bernardo and American vocalist Melissa Veras.
Pursuing a balance between acoustic and electronic sounds [...]

It was somewhere around 30 years ago that legendary music man, the late Jerry Wexler, got the idea to record Willie Nelson doing classic Western Swing songs on an album. Over those 30 years LP’s changed hands with tiny notes, friends like Paul Shaffer helped, and other friends were glad they got to see the [...]

“We live every night like my hands were tied” J. Tilman says in the song available here, Steel on Steel, from the album Vacilando Territory Blues, and it’s got those echoey drums and the sound of walking thoughtful and a little sad, but where the Fleet Foxes fill all the caverns in the air with [...]
