Pigeon Breeders
For years Edmonton’s Pigeon Breeders have fuelled the experimental scene within their city and beyond. They pushed the envelope by creating odd ambient soundscapes that are pleasing to the ears while sounding completely foreign.
Beach Body
It’s extremely rare that a band’s first release is a statement of perfection in their genre. Such is the case with Beach Body’s debut EP entitled Plain Life.
Moving Bodies
Moving Bodies debut album thrusts this young Edmonton band to the upper echelon of the rock scene.
Painted Fruit
Painted Fruit’s sophomore album PF II comes with the announcement that the band no longer exists. Bands come and go all the time but when a band shows intense growth between releases it’s hard not to feel cheated by their demise.
The Deep Dark Woods
After a five year hiatus, The Deep Dark Woods have risen from the grave with a new sound.
Wares
Cassia Hardy has been making music as Wares since 2013 building a following with her frenetic live shows. She typically plays solo with just an electric guitar but sometimes, with the help of a full band, an audience will be lucky to see her turn the same songs into louder punk-rock statements. Her debut full length channels both sides of Wares and also features unexpected flourishes.
Chad VanGaalen
Chad VanGaalen's sixth official release has the Calgary artist pondering aging and mortality.
Kacy & Clayton
Kacy & Clayton have been churning out the most exciting country/folk music Canada can offer. On their third release, they shoot for the stars by enlisting Jeff Tweedy to produce The Siren’s Song.
Bad Canada
Walking a weird line between bedroom-pop, space-folk and experimental this album is a triumph. There are a wide array of sounds and influences on display.
Faith Healer
Jessica Jalbert’s second outing as Faith Healer moves past the 60's psych of Cosmic Troubles to expand into 70’s rock territory.
Sister Ray
Vocals and guitar are the only instruments you’ll hear on this album and that’s all that’s needed to turn a casual listen into an obsession. Coyes’ voice is utterly captivating as it trembles with intensity and raw power over simple guitar
