Joey Landreth has a (new song called) “Dangerous Heart”.
It’s his second release from his upcoming album (no date/details yet) and features a super fun guitar solo in the middle of the song and and earworm-y chorus.
You can catch him in Vancouver while he’s on tour, on November 22nd at the Fox Cabaret!

I love when there is an album I’m really into and it has been out for a while (in this case, Holy Hum’s album All Of My Bodies) and the artist drops a music video for one of my favourite tracks.
The title track from the 2017 full-length debut now has it’s music video (which you can see below) and Andrew Lee say of it:
"This video is a meditation and a celebration of the body," says Lee. "No matter your gender, sexual orientation or race, our bodies need to be celebrated and respected. And this video reveals those moments of introspection that we all go through where we look in the mirror and ask 'Who am I?'"

Been waiting for the release of this new Mounties song for a while now…and not just since their first single release (“Canoe Song”) in September, but because the local radio station had been playing it.
Finally we have a track online for “De-Evolve Again” to listen to, and a general “early 2019” for the sophomore album release.
Hopefully at this pace, we get another track in November too, but for now check the new one out below!
I am so excited for new music from Moonface. “Walk the Circle in the Other Direction” is the first single off the upcoming album This One’s For The Dancer & This One’s For The Dancer’s Bouquet, which is due out Nov 2.
And, word is it'll be Spencer Krug’s last album under the Moonface moniker. But don't despair, he'll just be going under his own name from now on, for his solo releases.
Anyway, check it out below!

Really digging this new track from Ellevator off of their self-titled album (out now).
The dramatic yet dance-able song (“The Storm”) is fully of fun synth and a funky bass line. It took a couple listens for me to hear it all as I found myself really focusing in on the vocals but then just closing my eyes and spacing out to it. Definitely a jam.
The Hamilton band is out on tour with Dear Rouge right now, but they aren’t heading out west at the moment.
Listen to the single below!

I am TOTALLY into this new song, “Good While It Lasted” by Old Man Canyon.
This slow jam is exactly what I needed this Monday morning after a busy weekend in Kelowna at Break Out West.
OMC has a new album announced, A Grand Facade, but we’ll have to wait until November 16th for it. In the meantime, enjoy the first track below!

When I saw Said the Whale play some new songs at Skookum this summer, I predicted one of the new ones they played would be their next HUGH hit. And while I’m sure they decided to release the very same song as their next single long before I said anything, I am 100% going to take credit for this, if I can.
Jokes aside, “UnAmerican” is going to ear-worm its way into your head immediately, especially the ‘oo-hoo’ of the chorus. Tyler says the song is “about a socialite protagonist named Kevin who goes through life letting the music he’s listening to influence everything he’s doing. Through it all, he just wants to be a good person. Around the time I was writing the song, I kept hearing the label ‘UnAmerican’ being given to people who were upset and bewildered by Donald Trump’s antics. And so I started to equate ‘UnAmerican’ with ‘good and decent' because bewilderment seems like the most normal response to someone as unhinged as Donald Trump.”
No information yet on the new album, but word has it it’s just about ready to go, so I hope we’ll be hearing more sooner, rather than later.

Colyn Cameron (of Wake Owl) has released his new solo album titled Sad & Easy (out yesterday) and we also have a new song and video from the EP!
“Hallucinations” reminds me of vintage Wake Owl, and a bit of Coconut Records (circa Nighttiming) - which is a very good thing in my opinion.
Check it out below, and for more on the new album, click here.
