Every month this year, Stars are going to be releasing a cover song, and they've started things off with Bob Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe". Produced by the band and mixed by Liam O’Neil, the cover showcases Amy Milan's gorgeous voice.
I always enjoy a cover song, and seeing how bands interpret other artists, so I am really looking forward to see who else Stars tackle this year.
A few weeks ahead of his new album, Jason Collett shares another song with us. It's a toe tapper with a whistling chorus that will get stuck in your head for days, "Forever Young Is Getting Old".
The album, Song and Dance Man, comes out February 5th and was produced by Collett's pal and sometimes collaborator Afie Jurvanen, aka Bahamas. BUT, if you want to get a little advance sneak peek at it, all you gotta do is share.
If you're anything like me, the first time you heard this band you spent half of the song trying to figure out where you knew the singer from. Turns out, it's Lisa Lobsinger, of Broken Social Scene fame! She has teamed up with Paul Pfisterer (The Beauties, Kat Rocket) and Martin Davis Kinack (Transistor Sound & Lighting Co, Sarah Harmer) to form the indie-rock trio Laser.
"Disconnect" is a warm and dreamy, synth-driven tune, off their album Night Driver, which is January 29th on Foreseen Entertainment.

Calling them my favourite instrumental band would be too limiting, because I would count Explosions in the Sky among my favourite bands, period. And earlier this week they announced their first non-soundtrack album in five years.
The first single is called "Disintegration Anxiety" and is as epic and intense as ever, but also seems a bit more frantic, has more of an urgency to it. The Wilderness comes out April 1st, and you can preorder it from their website now.
(And I'm hoping this album comes with a tour, because I've only seen them live once, and it was one of the greatest concert experiences of my life)
The Besnard Lakes’ new album, A Coliseum Complex Museum is set to be released on January 22nd, and we've already had a few tracks come out from the latest effort from the band.
Now we have a new music video for the track titled "The Plain Moon" which features a very eerie, low-fi video of the band, which almost looks like a screensaver or the iTunes art you can put on.
Check it out below, and look for the new record soon.
Teen Daze is heading out on a month long tour of Europe soon, but has just released a new track called "Célébrer" ahead of that.
His latest album Morning World was released in the fall, and according to his press release, more dance tracks can be expected throughout 2016!
Check out "Célébrer below:
Cameron Reed aka Babe Rainbow has released some new music for your earholes...some dreamy, dark, ambient music to be exact. It may make you want to crawl back into bed this morning and watch a good end-of-the-world or space movie. [I'm going with The Martian.]
If one song isn't enough for you, you can currently download the entire Babe Rainbow catalogue for only $15 on his Bandcamp page. Enjoy!
