Classic from Cousin Cole .

Considering the overall vibe of Halifax isn't at an all-time high currently (vacant storefronts, more venue closures, more people moving away, faltering economy, endless boondoggles from our municipal "leadership"), it's nice to have a reminder that there are still plenty of creative people here in the city doing good things. Your Samples Our Obsession , a recently released digital compilation, is one such example of these good things. Curated by your friends at Pigeon Row , YSOO is 16 songs from bands that are currently active in our beloved underdog of a city's music scene. [...]

Here are the photos from the Acoustic Waves Series that took place at the GCTC on November 6, 2011. Playing at the show was Craig Cardiff and Rose Cousins . It was a lovely Sunday evening with acoustic folk/pop/rock music by these two musicians. I was very surprised that alot of people came out on a Sunday night to see both acts. Rose Cousins and Craig Cardiff was just simply amazing live. [...]

It's no secret that we love the Aaron Mangle-helmed outfit Cousins here at the hill, but I'm pretty sure we're not alone in this - pretty much anyone who has heard them seems to feel the same way. Well, if you're attending HPX, you'll have 2 chances to join the Cousins fan-fam by checking them out as they play right before Thee Oh Sees at Reflections on Wednesday, Oct. 19th or on Saturday (Oct. 22nd) during the CKDU brunch at Gus'.

After seeing Shawn Clarke at Umi Cafe on September 14, 2011. It was a short walk up to Raw Sugar Cafe . Playing there was Cousins from Halifax. They haven't played Ottawa since April 20, 2010 . The band (or duo) is on a September tour and Ottawa was the first stop. Opening up the show was Ottawa's Musk Ox . It was a nice mellow set. Filled with new tracks and nice [...]

More photos from the show will be up later. Just wanted to show these two Polaroids Impossible Project style. In case you don't know what Cousins sounds like. Listen to Secret Weapon . [...]

Last week, while we were knee deep in MFNW, Fat Possum announced the release of a two disc deluxe version of Yuck's self titled debut stunner. It will feature six bonus tracks including this one. This is Cousin Corona, and is scheduled for release 10/11. Check it out. Yuck; Cousin Corona
Following rapturous critical plaudits for their debut album and extensive touring throughout 2011, comes a spanking new deluxe double-disk edition of Yuck's self-titled debut with added tracks. Unsurprisingly neither of the two new cuts differ vastly from much of Yuck's other work, but when a band is making such an exquisite type of nostalgic fuzz-pop it's sometimes best just to stick to the winning formula. Previously Yuck have been pinned as channelling the great anti-heroes such as Dinosaur Jr. and Pavement, and while new song "Cousin Corona" takes elements and tendencies from both bands (and not to [...]

Sheffield's Slow Club might have originally caught your eye when they played water glasses, or their adorable single "Christmas TV" that inevitably end up on indie christmas mixes every year, or maybe this is the first you're hearing of them. Their sound has grown up, there is now more rock and less twee, and it works for them. In a way it's twee music for people who don't think they like twee. It's messy and lively and I find that combination irresistible. I know I'm late to be writing about this album that was [...]
Finally … The long awaited follow up to their 2009 debut, Yeah So , is here. Swapping alco-pops for single malt whiskies, Slow Club have gained a notable buzz of excitement about their obvious maturation. The Sheffield duo have taken a pensive path, replacing their cutesy adolescent fragility, for an exploration of life's darker offerings. Don't get me wrong, they've still got plenty of folk-pop charm, it's not all about the doom and gloom of post pubescent life. "I think we both wanted to move away from our obsessions on the first album, and look [...]
After a slow summer for new music, the past couple weeks have been bursting with great albums hitting the internet from the likes of Wilco, M83, St. Vincent and more. In the midst of all that, one album that may be flying under the radar for some is Slow Club's sophomore album Paradise , which I've spent some time with and is pretty damn solid. One of the standouts is opener "Two Cousins" which hits with all the swagger and enthusiasm that made their debut Yeah So such a delight (plus, the ragtime piano is brilliant). The [...]

Yuck has been releasing lots of b-sides throughout the year and now they will all get a proper release with one of those deluxe reissue deals which I could criticize them for, but Yuck is possibly my favorite release of the year so I am 100% for it. Like everything else they have put out this year, this song rules.
