Songs of the Week: October 06 - 12, 2025
“Tomorrow And Tomorrow” by The Dears
It’s a little over a month until The Dears release their ninth studio album, and we’re getting another tease with the latest single “Tomorrow And Tomorrow”. The new track has a bit of a doo-wop vibe, with Murray Lightburn’s rich voice crooning out as the song soars.
Check out the video, directed by Kevin Drew and Rachael McLean, and make sure to pick up the new album titled Life Is Beautiful! Life Is Beautiful! Life Is Beautiful! when it’s out on November 7th!

“Give Me Everything Your Own” by Total Fucking Darkness
The “landslide winners of ‘BAND OF THE VOID 2025’” Total Fucking Darkness is back with a brand new dreamy, twitchy dance number.
“Give Me Everything Your Own” is the latest from the collaboration of Torquil Campbell, Stephen Ramsay, and Tom McFall, with the band saying: “We live in a late-period capitalist wasteland where art is devalued and podcasters are the new creative upper class. What a fucking bore. “Give Me Everything Your Own” is a reminder of the intrinsic, anarchic power of our music. We made it to feel like a nice cold wet fish slapping you upside the head to remind you not to fall asleep in your own life, that connection matters, that a dancefloor can be the site of rebellion and dissent. Don’t forget that cunts are still running the world...”

“Reckless Kids” by Danny Miles
Seems like the members of July Talk are always on a side quest…
This time it’s drummer Danny Miles, who has been releasing solo music including this latest song “Reckless Kids”.
Of the song Danny shares that it is about “living life to the fullest. It’s about trying to enjoy everyday. I’ve had some huge life-changing events happen in the past couple of years and I think it made me care a little less about what people think about me, and people pleasing in general but in a positive way. It’s been freeing to lose some of that.”
And notably, Danny did all the vocals, and played all the instruments for this funky and sporadic track, as well as mixed the song himself!

“For You To Come Around” by Great Lake Swimmers
The new album Caught Light from Great Lake Swimmers is now out and the band embarks on their tour with Elliott Brood starting tomorrow.
Before they headed out on the road, they released a live version of the album’s track “For You To Come Around”. Lead singer Tony Dekker say it’s about “the baggage we carry and the emotional lifting it requires for us to endure, and ultimately, it is about loneliness and longing, and the inability to truly know someone.”
I can’t wait to hear the new music live - the band comes to Vancouver on October 23rd at the Biltmore Cabaret.
