The new album from Royal Canoe, Waver, is slowly creeping up to it’s release day of January 25th in 2019, and I’ve been loving all the singles being released from it.
The latest is this awesome slow jam below called “Peep This”, which hopefully we’ll get a video we can peep eventually as well.
Hopefully it is just the right vibe for your Thursday morning.

Did you get realllllly realllllly sad when you heard that Hey Rosetta! was hanging up their hats
Well maybe you heard when Tim Baker was touring around doing small, intimate shows?
So, good news! Tim is releasing a solo album sometime in 2019, and has given us a song titled “Dance” from said venture.
He’s going to be touring with Bahamas in the fall, but that’s all out east, so we’ll have to wait to get a proper tour for now. Check the song out below, filmed live for a mini-doc (5 songs to come total) called The Side Door Sessions (click here for the intro to the series).

November 2nd the new album (Past Lives) from Vancouver band Wooden Horsemen will be released, and on November 3rd, they’ll have their release part at the Wise Hall (click here for more info).
But today we present to you a new single from said album, “It Don’t Matter”, which we encourage you to take a listen to below!
Okay, 1) that is my new favourite band promo photo, and
B) everyone always talk about “summer jams” but the new song from The Darcys is the perfect “autumn jam”.
“Chasing The Fall” gives off slow-jam vibes and is almost the perfect marriage of the “old” Warring-era Darcys and their current synth-infused incarnation. One half of the band Wes Marskell says, “I like the images of Zinfandel by the pool, casinos and heart-shaped jacuzzis, as they all have the kitsch of a love story in a bad movie. However, there’s an unlikeliness to the events, hitting the jackpot or rain in Palm Springs, and you get the feeling you’re letting someone take you on a ride that’s full of chaos. Once you’ve done it, you’ll do anything to do it again.”
No word yet on a new album, so until then check out the new song below!
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!
