The Blue - So Look at the Bright Side
This new album by The Blue is an absolute and communal tour de force, one which captivates the bright side that The Blue performs at his live shows — perhaps it has a brightness of its own. The cabaret of features really brings together some of Calgary’s best into a shared spotlight of their own making, and you get to learn how they made that spotlight themselves through hard work and looking out for each other.
Robert Adam - Governed by the Seasons
In spite of the adversity of living in a world with rampant queerphobia and transphobia, the resilience in Adam’s work shines, not just through the mix, but through their invigorated direction for their career. Coming back from a first-ever Japan tour and gliding on the heels of a CCMA nomination, Adam is one of those musicians who is ripe for a wider audience that is ready to welcome them.
First Night of Summer & Peace Museum Vol. 1
I’d like to say, “welcome back, Chad”, but the reality is that he never left. He’s been making incredible music all this time. A gentle giant somehow hiding in plain sight.
Fulfilment - Husky House
Husky House is math rock all grown up. It’s more thoughtful than angry. It’s wise and solemn. It should be hung on walls and played in bars. It’s my favorite part of the Stebner musical universe to date.

Crack Cloud
Crack Cloud are making incredible post-punk music that has afro-punk and jangly pop undertones lurking in the shadows.
