Old Man Canyon has a new album titled Delirium set for release on January 15th in 2016, and has just released the lead single "Back To The Start".
In the meantime they'll be touring with Australia's The Paper Kites, which includes a show here in Vancouver on November 18th at The Imperial.
The song melds folk and electronic sounds and is danceable, yet dreamy. Take a listen below:

Jason Collett is back with a brand new song, the title track to his upcoming album Song and Dance Man. The song peels back the curtain at what it takes to make it in modern music, everything from the growing importance of social media ("If you can tweet something brilliant, you got a marketing plan") to the hardships of touring ("If we just sell some t-shirts, we could pay for the gas"). Basically summed up by the chorus: "You got to do what you can when you’re a Song And Dance Man"
Song and Dance Man comes out February 5th, and was produced by Collett's pal and sometimes collaborator Afie Jurvanen, aka Bahamas.
It's my birthday and I'll pick the Song Of The Day if I want to!
I don't know if you guys were watching the We Are The City live stream of their album recording...I looked at it the first day and it looked like a room from the movie Hostel, so I got creeped out and turned it off. Kirk alerted me to THIS going on the last day, which I still think they were "punking" us.
Anyways, the good news is that another song has been released: "Kiss Me, Honey".
The album (titled Above Club) will be released next week on November 13th and the band will set out on tour in the States, then Europe, and in Canada in 2016. Check out the new track below:
My favourite Prince Edward Islanders are back and they have their dance pants on.
While any details of an upcoming album are scarce, Paper Lions released a slick, synthed-up song called "Believer" a few days ago. It's a bit more poppy that their previous album My Friends, but as catchy and infectious as ever.
November....everyone's least favourite month amiright? It's my birthday on Saturday and I even dislike November.
It's cold. Grey. Raining. (Snowing even.) Summer seems SO far away... and now that we hit Daylight Saving (most of us), it's dark.
Well, to cure your autumn-time blues and seasonal affective disorders, Vancouver has a TON of shows (seriously, so many) coming up this month where you can get warm and sweaty indoors, and forget how gross outside is.
In our concert calendar, we have 15+ shows over the next few weeks to choose from, and I decided to fill today's playlist with music by those artists.
Whether you're heading to the Imperial, the Media Club, the Biltmore, the Fox, Guilt & Co, Skinny Fat Jacks, the Vogue, the Commodore, or the Orpheum, there is something for everyone this month to look forward to.

When I saw that there was a new Basia Bulat song released, I was excited.
When I heard that the new Basia Bulat song was produced by one of my favourites, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, I was ecstatic.
"Infamous" is a perfect blend of a musician with a famous producer; it still very much sounds like a Basia Bulat song, but has just of hint of James' influence. It really has me excited for the new album -- Good Advice out on February 12 -- which James plays electric guitar, synth, saxophone, and bass on.
While we were giving you Songs Of The Day from our awesome Then & Now lineup, The Besnard Lakes released some new music as well.
"Golden Lion" will come out on an exclusive 12" vinyl on November 13th and a full album titled A Coliseum Complex will follow on January 22nd of 2016!
Some of the band's lineup has changed since the last album recording, but the music has stayed true to their sound. Check out "Golden Lion" below:
We have a new song and a new video from the strange and wonderful mind of Grimes. Not only did she release a new single from her upcoming album Art Angels, which comes out digitally on November 6th.
The first single "Flesh Without Blood/Life in the Vivid Dream" came out last week, with a video that she directed herself. I'm sure it inspired a lot of people's Halloween costumes, but what else should we expect from Grimes other than weird & wacky, and a catchy tune.
