Dust Cwaine - Twin Lakes
it is a delight to see one of Vancouver’s finest bless us with a sophomore release. Dust Cwaine (aka. I-am-not-giving -more-than-this-drag-name-cuz-I-am-not-a-cop) has a considerable following tied to their almost decade long drag career, but I want to stress that the fact that they are just as much a musician shouldn’t get buried under the layers of make-up, mascara, and blush.
palace oaks - insular mountains
palace oaks has delivered an incredible debut record with insular mountains. Having seen the progression of Young’s work over the years, the qualitative leap in this latest release is quite impressive and she should be commended for the strides she has taken in her D.I.Y. spirit.
Still Depths - Like Hell!
Like Hell! is an album that can appeal to listeners who are fans of wide-ranging artists such as indie rock like Car Seat Headrest and LCD Soundsystem, queercore like An Albatross or The Blood Brothers, or other fellow noise punks like Black Eyes.
