Paige Drobot, Fulfilment, did you die, and MoonBell
Paige Drobot – Repeating / Hustler
Kicking straight off with a groovy riff, the new single from Winnipeg’s Paige Drobot starts strong and carries this power through its entirety. With a funky sound and introspective lyrics, Repeating / Hustler provides a heavy, blues-y take on funk, which makes for an empowering listening experience.
Fulfilment – 10 Colours
Calgary-based post-punk band Fulfilment delivers their debut album, 10 Colours, for the start of the New Year. These 10 tracks represent the aforementioned colours, with each song title reflecting its corresponding colour on the album's cover art. Sound-wise, it’s fast-paced, aggressive, and powerful – just the thing for fans of the hardcore and punk scenes.
did you die – Thirteen Moons
did you die delivers psych-pop shoegaze from Vancouver, British Columbia. Their newest album Thirteen Moons features their dreamy blend of alternative rock, post-punk, and new romantic music. With tight drums, reverberated guitars, and soft vocals, Thirteen Moons is an album that’s bound to hit you straight in the heart.
MoonBell – Winter Songs
Despite its cold and desolate nature, the deafened sounds of a quiet winter night offers comfort to many, and Winnipeg-based artist MoonBell attempts to recreate these feelings through their two-track EP Winter Songs. Utilizing ambient synths with layered tones, these songs are a calming escape – like a patch of forest amongst a loud and chaotic cityscape.
