More new music from Andy Shauf!
His new album "The Party" has a release date too, May 20th, and he's heading out on tour through the UK next month before returning back to Canada for a string of dates (including Jazz Fest here in Vancouver with case/lang/veirs).
Check "The Worst In You" out below.
I hope you all got to check out JPNSGRLS during Record Store Day yesterday and heard today's Song Of The Day, "Bully For You", live!
If not, the boys will be back in action on Thursday at the Biltmore along with Fine Times and REGAL, before they head out on their spring tour across Canada to CMW, and then some dates in Europe.
Alexandria Maillot teamed up with cmyk Productions for a brand new video, released yesterday.
"Sunday Sara" is the first single off of her upcoming debut full-length album, Time, which will be independently released on June 10th. The video paints a picture of conflict over the etherial voice of Alexandria. Take a look below!
"Be cool first, hate the new Darcys record now."
"First person to call "sell-out" gets a prize! [champagne emoji] [trophy emoji]"
The Darcys had been relentlessly hyping up their new single, "Miracle", all week on the social medias, until it finally hit our ears yesterday. Well, the studio recording was released to radio stations across the country (which you can/should request with the hashtag #IWANTAMIRACLE) but you can hear the song as they perform it live at The Edge below.
The new song sees the band shift from art-rock to a bit more art-pop, as they also dealt with some changes in the lineup. After their last album (the amazing Warring) half the band decided to quit, leaving Jason Couse & Wes Marskell not sure what to do. After some deliberation, they went on as a duo, taking the band in a new direction. Which you can clearly hear in "Miracle".

If you enjoy the harmonies of Chic Gamine, then you might just recognise the voice behind Begonia. It's the new solo project from Alexa Dirks, who took to the studio with Matts Schellenberg and Peters (of Royal Canoe) as producers for the upcoming release. And if the first song is any indication, it's going to be something you're going to want to keep an ear out for.
Watch the camera swirl around the band as Dirks' voice soars over an infectious bass groove in the video for "Juniper", performed live at Knox United Church in Winnipeg.
New Newberry!
I was excited earlier this week when I saw that David Newberry would be returning to Vancouver in June (on the 26th, along with Skye Wallace at the Rickshaw) and then today, we got a brand new song from him as well.
According to Newberry the song was the last song I wrote before he moved away from Vancouver, first one he recorded for his album Replacement Things, but it didn't make the cut.
I'm glad we get to hear it now. Check it out below and be sure to mark June 26th down in your calendar!
About a month ago at the beginning of March we got a single from Harold Malcolm (formerly of Portage & Main), but no word on an album.
Well, now we have a second single, and the knowledge that the debut album will come out at the end of this month!
Single number two is titled "Love and Loss", and despite the heavy title, the song is upbeat and dare I say pop-y!
Give it a listen below, and be sure to keep an eye out for the album at the end of the month.
Twin Bandit have released a new track titled "Long Monday" - a cover of Nashville artist John Prine.
The duo just finished a tour through Germany and will be hitting the road again this summer for a string of festivals (Sooke River Bluegrass Festival and the Ponderosa Festival have been announced so far, for BC)
Check out their website for more dates/festivals to be announced and enjoy the song below.
Happy Monday!
