Rec Centre, Wants, Wide Arches, and Orson Wilds
Rec Centre - Maxed Out
Rec Centre dispatch observational lyrics that tell a relatable story and solidify with catchy melodies. The music can be frantic yet wonderfully counterbalanced by soft effortless vocals. At times I feel as though I am listening to songs sung by Sloan’s Jay Ferguson. Keep an eye on this band!
Wants / S/T
Wants new self titled album reminds me of how much I appreciate being a kid who grew up in the 80’s. In creating the album, I don’t think Wants missed one single 80's element to capture the era - right down to the perfect delay on the vocals!
Wide Arches - Farewell to All the Lovely Things
Farewell to All the Lovely Things, is an expressional and deep self-reflective album which fits perfectly into the pocket of creative indie folk. The lyrical content is witty, clever, rich, and points a finger straight into your insecurities.
Orson Wilds - This Burning House (We All Fell Asleep in)
Orson Wilds’ latest album is anthemic, diverse, and catchy as hell! They have a striking ability to write a lyric that listeners want to grab ahold of and sing along. The same can be said about their melodies and syncopated gang vocals. “And all I want is just to feel something, but I feel nothing.”
- Branton Langley
