Song of the Day: September 29, 2016 - "Boyfriend" Tegan & Sara Remix by The Darcys
The Darcys remixed Tegan & Sara's song "Boyfriend".
I danced around my apartment, while cleaning, to it.
And now I pass it along to you.
Listen!
Song of the Day: September 28, 2016 - "Found In You" by Harold Malcolm
Harold Malcolm (formerly one half of the dearly departed Portage & Main) may have already put out an album earlier this year, but that's not going to stop him from releasing even more new songs.
"Found In You" is a sparkling tune with a touch of an electronic vibe, that once again showcases Harold's indie-pop writing sensibilities.

Choir! Choir! Choir! has started a new video series where a small section of the large group perform a song with an artist in an intimate setting.
The first artist they chose was Hannah Georgas and they performed "Don't Go" from Hannah's recently released album For Evelyn with her. Check it out below!

Song of the Day: September 26, 2016 - "What They Mean" by Donovan Woods
Donovan Woods just recently released a new EP titled They Are Going Away, and with it a new lyric video for the single "What They Mean".
The song is about "why they say the word crazy in country songs so often" and goes through a narrative of explaining it to a child. It's really pretty sweet in the end, so make sure to give it a listen below!
Donovan is heading out on tour this fall and has a stop in Vancouver on the 11th of November at the Fox Cabaret with Joey Landreth.
Song of the Day: September 23, 2016 - "Beck + Call" by July Talk ft. Tanya Tagaq
Another new song (and video) from July Talk, this single featuring Tanya Tagaq and a driving drum beat that reminded me almost instantly of "Beautiful People" by Marilyn Mason (in a good way, I'd pay to hear July Talk cover that song).
They band's new album Touch is out now, and they are about to embark on a long tour starting in Germany, and then heading through the states and Canada. TWO shows are scheduled for Vancouver after the first sold out - so get your tickets for the November 23rd show with The Zolas.
Song of the Day: September 22, 2016 - "Apollo" by The Tourist Company
The Tourist Company (fresh off their Rifflandia performance) just announced their fall tour to support their new album Apollo - out on October 21st.
The first release is the title track, and you can tell the album is going to be good when you look at the team they have listed behind it: Engineered by Daniel Klenner, Produced by Jordan Klassen, Mixed by Colin Stewart, Mastered by Brock McFarlane!? Yes please.
Check out the first song below, and their tour dates, including a homecoming show at the Fox Cabaret on November 26, 2016.
Song of the Day: September 21, 2016 - "Her" by Her
Last year when I was invited to the Trans Musicales Festival in Rennes, France, I went through the massive artist list to try and get to know some of the bands I was going to see a bit better.
Her was a major standout for me and they didn't disappoint in their live show either, and I've been trying to keep up on their progress as a band ever since.
They just released a new music video for their self-titled song "Her", and a few tour dates including some West Coast shows in the States (including Portland and Seattle) to which I might just have to make the journey to go see. Check out the song/video below.
Song of the Day: September 19, 2016 - "Rhonda" by The Balconies
In a little under a month, The Balconies will be releasing their brand new album Rhonda. The album "tells the story of its fictional heroine title character, and her struggle for self-discovery and authenticity in a saturated world."
You can get a taste with the recently released lyric video for the title track below, and then pick up the album on October 14th.
