The long weekend that usually marks the first days of summer has arrived, and although the weather took an unusually long time to catch up, chances are you're going to see at least a bit of sun before Tuesday. To set you on your way, we've made a collection of our most replayed obsessions that arrived throughout the winter thaw. mp3: Soft Signal spring 2012 mix (85 mb) Disclosure – “You & Me" (feat.

Denis Nazarov Though at least some of his current profile comes from being associated with the same Montreal scene that produced Grimes, those expecting more electro-pop cotton candy from Devon Welsh of Majical Cloudz had best adjust their expectations. His full-length debut Impersonator is electronic, yes, but is also spare, haunting, and unflinchingly emotional, circling heavy lyrical topics like death and desire. One would expect that at the Matador company picnic, he'll be keeping more company with Mike Hadreas of Perfume Genius than, say, Belle & Sebastian's Stuart [...]
by Tiana Feng Gold and Youth released their album Beyond Wilderness this week. Here's the video for "Jewel" from the LP.

Craig Kief Spring is only barely here - the past few days' weather notwithstanding - but the concert announcement machine is already making eyes at Autumn with the unveiling of a couple of pretty high profile tours coming through town when the leaves start to change and the days get shorter. Sam Beam, the walking epitome of bearded folk music, released Ghost On Ghost - his fifth album as Iron & Wine - last month, but until now only had Spring dates in the northeast and Europe confirmed [...]

It would appear that I have a predilection for Canadian electro-pop. I was effusive in my praise of Young Galaxy's new record last month, and this month I'm turning my attention to the debut by Vancouver's Gold & Youth . First things first: FAO people who haven't gotten to know the quartet yet - you really should, because they've been having a very good year so far, and Beyond Wilderness hints at the rest of their 2013 being similarly great. It's a slickly-produced and charming collection of hook-filled electro-pop that manages to stand out in [...]

It's been a long time coming, but Gold & Youth 's debut long-player is finally set to drop next week on Arts & Crafts . Beyond Wilderness lives up to all the promise of it's early singles and then some, coming together in a collection of dusky and widescreen pop gems that will be soundtracking most of our summer nights in the city. Listen to the record in its entirety below. The post listen: Gold & Youth's 'Beyond Wilderness' appeared first on [...]

Frank Yang Though inconvenient and unfortunate in real terms, there was something appropriate about the fact that half of Rachel Zeffira's first North American tour was canceled on account of visa issues. After all, her musical career only took the course that it did because of an overzealous British immigration officer refused her entry to the country, causing her to miss her an important music college audition. That all worked out for the best, of course, as it set her on the course to become half of Cat's Eyes with Faris Badwan [...]

Nick Bostick That Arcade Fire will release a new record this year - possibly/probably produced by or at least involving James Murphy - is pretty much a given. But also a given is that it won't be out until Fall, at the earliest, because a) it's already Spring and it's not done, and b) Fall is still when all the big records come out and this is about as big as they get. It would be nice to be able to say that Arcade Fire violinist Sarah Neufeld will be able [...]

"Jewel," the new single by Vancouver-based Gold & Youth, is a dramatic track that showcases Louise Burns' pretty vocals and some theatrical, goth-tinged electronics. It's slick and moody, the kind of song you'd want playing ... read more

by Tiana Feng Arts & Crafts' 4 piece Gold and Youth are releasing their debut Beyond Wilderness on May 14th. Stream the ethereal new single, "Jewel" below.

last.fm In some ways, being introduced to British Columbia-born/London-based Rachel Zeffira by way of Cat's Eyes did less to prepare one for her solo debut The Deserters than coming to it completely cold. That 2011 collaboration with Horrors frontman Faris Badwan presented her as a sweetly-voiced ingenue, and since its strong throwback/girl-group aesthetic was so far removed from The Horrors' grinding shoegaze, one could reasonably assume that it better reflected where Zeffira's own influences lay. It isn't that The Deserters presents her in a [...]
We've been waiting for Gold & Youth 's debut LP for what feels like years (really, it's just one), and it finally looks like they've finally got a date locked down. Beyond Wilderness arrives May 14 via Toronto's Arts & Crafts , and to punctuate this statement, the band's released a new single: the Louise Burns -fronted, dizzying "Jewel," which very well may be the best track we've heard from these guys to date. If you're Austin-bound next week, catch them all around SXSW while you can (dates here [...]
