Video premiere: Avalon Tassonyi - Yes or No


The Cups N Cakes Network is pleased to host the premiere of Ontario songwriter Avalon Tassonyi’s new video and song “Yes or No”, from their upcoming record Candlelightning, due out June 16th via Vain Mina Records. “Yes or No” is the album opener and lead single, and the video perfectly encapsulate the folky, wholesome vibe of both the song and the upcoming record.

Candlelightning is the first album that Tassonyi has made back home in Ontario after spending nearly a decade living in Montreal. And Ontario is lucky to have them; the mix of indie-rock charm, folk whimsy, and alt-country earnestness is nearly impossible to press pause on. The upcoming album features contributions by Vain Mina Records label mate (and Cups N Cakes favourite) Eliza Niemi on bass, Eli Kaufman on drums, and sizeable cast of musicians on keys, horns, and woodwinds.

Be sure to keep an eye out for more single releases in advance of the release of Candlelightning on June 16th, 2023. It’s sure to be one of this network’s favourites the year, and will likely be one of yours too.
