I wish I could put this new animated video for "The Ecstatics" on an IMAX or even Planetarium sized screen, and listen to Explosions In The Sky in the best possible surround sound.
But I am also afraid because I think my brain might literally melt if I did that.
Check out the video below to see what I mean.
My favourite french duo Her is back with another single titled "Swim" from their new EP Her Tape #2.
A few things you need to know:
The girl in the video looks very much like Cate Blanchett and a badass.
There is an epic saxophone solo.
The boys are just as groovy as ever.
I'm into it...take a listen:
Had I heard this song out of context, I don't think I would have realised it was the new one from Elliott BROOD.
"The Fall" is a dark and haunting song, which is fitting since it was written for the CBC show, Bellevue, and looks to be the first single from their upcoming album Ghost Gardens.
Last week it was announced that Winnipeg band Mise en Scene signed with Light Organ Records and performed at a secret show at the Fox Cabaret (as well as opening for The Zolas at the Railway re-launch).
Their first single, "Young Leo", from their upcoming album Still Life On Fire (June 30), is out now. Lead singer Stefanie Blondal Johnson's voice is a powerful one and their live show was definitely mezmerizing. Give it a listen below...
Toronto band DIANA recently released a new video for their song "What You Get" which was from their release in November titled Familiar Touch.
The band also announced a North American tour, and they will be performing here in Vancouver on June 26th at the Fox Cabaret.
Check out the single and video below.
Madic Records' band Walrus has released a new single called "In Timely Fashion", off of their soon to be released album Family Hangover (June 9th).
The band has some spring dates on the eastern side of the country, but nothing for Vancouver yet, but we'll keep you posted!
Vancouver duo Peregrine Falls has announced a new self-titled album (out May 12) and released a new single called "The Machinist".
The album is co-produced with Jesse Zubot, who is also featured (playing a wooden flute) on the new single.
The chaotic magic the band creates with it's improvisation is hard to describe, you'll just have to sit down and take a listen!

Wilderness of Manitoba has gone through quite an evolution over their many years. Founding member (and now sole songwriter) Will Whitwham has created The Tip Shop EP ahead of a new record to come later this year.
Of the single "Brigden Fair", Whitwham says: "We stopped into the Brigden Fair on tour a few years ago and had a really nice ride on this giant maiden sea woman. Over time, I fictionalized and personified this fall afternoon and amusement ride into song.”
