Vancouver's Jordan Klassen has a new album out now titled Big Intruder, and has just released a video for the single "Dominika".
He has a hometown show on November 30th at the Fox Cabaret (guests to be announced), but have a listen to "Dominika" below, and the whole album by clicking HERE.
My favourite new discovery at this year's Vancouver Folk Fest was the Haligonian band Hillsburn, so I've been keeping an eye (ear?) out for new music from them since the summer.
Now we have "Strange Clouds", the first single from their upcoming EP The Wilder Beyond, due out next February. It's an intense song, and Rosanna Burrill's vocals might just give you goosebumps, so check it out below!

Lovecoast is getting set to release their first full length album, and today we got a lyric video for the single "Lonely".
The new LP will be titled The Trip, and comes out in early 2018 - but for now you can catch them live in Vancouver on November 4th at the Commodore Ballroom, opening for Current Swell.
Have a listen to the new song below!
If you've been following the "Queen of Dark Folk" you may have heard "Scarlet Fever" already, but now Skye Wallace is officially releasing the badass song as a single.
She says "I wrote Scarlet Fever about a love story set in the Yukon. After a winter apart, Scarlet is arriving in the Dawson City harbour by boat and her lover awaits on land, petrified with uncertainty over the state of their devotion. The song’s energy evokes the messy turmoil of love and lust, and the music video, directed by Nathanael Vass, reflects the jittery, sexy, maddening thrill that comes with it.”
She's spot on about the jittery madness, as the video is slightly unsettling, in all the best ways. You can check it out above, or just listen to the song on soundcloud below.
Here's the latest single from the Rural Alberta Advantage, whose new album comes out this Friday (the 13th!).
Oh, and if you were unaware, the band will be in Vancouver on November 24th with our city's own Yukon Blonde. It's going to be a hell of a show, so make sure you get tickets!
The Pack A.D.'s album Dollhouse is out next week (Oct 13), and the band has released a video for the title track/single.
They're also heading out on tour now, and you can catch them in Vancouver on December 8th at the Rickshaw!
Just ahead of her show at Fortune tomorrow night, Ashleigh Ball is releasing a brand new video for the song "Lover" off her EP Gold In You.
The beautiful video for the haunting song was shot live at St. James Hall, with Ball backed by piano & strings. Check it out below, and make sure you're at Fortune early tomorrow!
Guys, I'm freezing cold...how is it 40 degrees in Ontario and I have a scarf and a jacket on at my desk?
"Hold On" by Vancouver's Leisure Club landed in my inbox a few minutes ago, and I closed my eyes and tried to pretend I was floating in that raft pictured above, in the sunshine...and possibly, for a brief moment, I was there.
The band's (self-titled) debut record comes out on November 17th - keep an eye out! - and they perform on October 6th at the Waldorf.
