Song of the Day: February 23, 2016 - "Slacker" by Library Voices
Lovish came out a few months ago, but Library Voices are still cranking out singles from it. They just released the video for "Slacker", a bit of a grungy, psych-rock song with a lo-fi video to match.
They're also heading out on tour soon, though no word of a Vancouver date... but hopefully that will change.
Song Of The Day: February 22, 2016 - "Modern Mind" by Bry Webb
Two of Canada's most interesting songwriters are joining forces for a split 7" release.
One one side, you have Chad VanGaalen and "Primative Brain", a song you could only find on a small run cassettes.
On the other, it's Bry Webb of Constantines, with a "Modern Mind", written in response to CVG's song.
A limited run of physical copies of the 7” are available to pre-order today via Wyatt Records website. And while this is the first release from the new label, keep an eye out, because they are promising a lot more in the future.
Song of the Day: February 19, 2016 - "Tom Tom" by Holy Fuck
Holy fuck, it's brand new Holy Fuck! They've announced their first album since '010's Latin which will be due out on May 27th and called Congrats.
The driving, electronic "Tom Tom" is the lead single and has everything you've come to expect from the band, and also features some uncharacteristic vocals from the normally-instrumental band.
