Destroyer is back! A new album Dan's Boogie is out March 24th. I can't get enough of the lead singles. Dan Bejar is back and takes you on a walking tour of Vancouver's downtown East-side in 2 new videos. And this latest track "
Okay everyone, here is my favourite music of 2024. Also, the yearly facelift of this website is live. What do you think? Cortisol levels felt very high this year and I think that contributed to my listening patterns. A lot more instrumental, abstract, and ambient tunes were on rotation. But
A few weeks back I was at my local record store and did something I have not done for at least 20 years... I bought a record I knew nothing about purely based on the cover art. The record was Aoyama Nights by Mariko Katsuragi and I am so thankful
The debut album from Zsela, Big For You, dropped last Friday, and it is a singular piece of art. The music is unique and sparce. Her voice is very unique. I'm getting some Prince. I'm getting (dare I say) Sade vibes. The single Fire Excape is
I am a huge fan of the London based record label YOUNG. They are home to many of my favourite artists The xx, Sampha, FKA Twigs, ... the list goes on. When I saw YOUNG announce a new EP and song from their latest signing, London-based experimental rapper, producer, and poet
The vibe-iest left of centre album I've heard in 2024 comes from a songwriter, guitarist, and drag performer named Patrick Flegel from my hometown of Calgary. Flegel performs as Cindy Lee and was the lead singer of notable Calgary band Women. The album is 12o minutes long, it
Wow. Kim Gordon, yes Sonic Youth Kim Gordon, is 70 and made an anti-consumerist rap-rock album. It’s aggressive and unhinged and I love it. Kim Gordon - The CollectiveListen to The Collective by Kim Gordon.The Collective SP

Once in a while I hear a song that, to me, sounds like it has always existed. It is just perfect and ageless. "Right Back to It" by Waxahatchee is one of those songs. "Right Back to It" is from an upcoming album Tigers Blood that
Here it is y'all, my favourite music of the year. I've got some albums that are great beginning to end. I've got some singles. I've got a playlist with a little from column A and a little from column B. Let'
My most listened to artist of 2023 is probably billy woods. I loved Maps by billy woods & Kenny Segal when it was released in May 2023. So then I listened to their other album Hiding Places. And then I started digging into billy woods' back catalogue, I'
Sampha famously works on a lot of other artist's music (Beyoncé, Solange, Kendrick, ...) but it's been 6 long years since he has released his own music. That is why I'm very excited about Lahai, it was released a week ago and it sounds great.
This album is exactly what I needed to listen to this week. Natural Wonder Beauty Concept is a collab by Ana Roxanne DJ Python that is odd, meditative, and trance-inducing. Natural Wonder Beauty Concept, by Natural Wonder Beauty Concept10 track albumDJ PythonPetship SP
My family took a long Spring trip to Japan. What a wonderful country! There was one song that followed us all over Japan and I really want it to cross over to North America. We heard it in Shibuya over loudspeakers. We heard in in Family Mart while grabbing some
I'm a couple years late to the Bartees Strange party, but I'm happy I'm finally here. This week I've been listening to Farm to Table non-stop. It's rocky, it's soulful, dancy, and feels fresh and new. Bartees also
One of my favourite groups from the last 10ish years is back with their first new album since 2018. Heavy Heavy is passionate, soulful and hypnotic. It is great just like the rest of Young Fathers' back catalogue of albums. SP
Happy 2023! New year, new look. I just heard Hounds by Puma Blue and I love it. The song is giving me Angel by Massive Attack energy, one of my all time favourite songs. That's all for now, I'm off to listen to other songs by
It's been a whole year since the last list?! Time doesn't mean anything anymore. This year I have 2 groups of albums. Group one are artists that I've never listened to previously that stopped me in my tracks and demanded my attention. Group two
I don't know what genre I'd call this album... alterna-dance-punk-house?! I sounds like it could be at home in the late 90s but sounds fresh as hell in 2022. Go listen, it is excellent. Special Interest – ENDURE
I love radio shows. There's an energy and excitement about someone sharing music they are enjoying with you. The weirder the better. In 2022 anyone can host a show that anyone can listen to anywhere. Many of my favourite artists are now hosting radio shows. What a time
