Ketch Harbour Wolves ' third album, Queen City: Volume One , is now available to purchase from Dead Calm Records . The album consists of eight indie rock tracks that are informed by the historic and contemporary urban experience of Toronto, Canada. As a Lost In The Sound Exclusive here is our favorite song from the release, Signs Were Everywhere . The album was recorded entirely over the winter of 2013 and was mixed by Laurence Currie at Sunnyside Studio ( Wintersleep , [...]
Here is something that'll cheer you up in these wintry days, The Great Escape has released their initial line up. I can feel the Mid-May sun on my face, the perfume of soaked soggy chips, the cackle of seagulls in my ears and the taste of Brighton in my mouth. The best UK festival hits our shores 16-18 May in Brighton Town. I've picked three artists for you to get your programme highlighters out for, and maybe they're a little different to other tastes on the blog, but I'm known for being a little bit different at The Ruck.

mute English singer-songwriter Polly Scattergood's 2009 self-titled debut may have been an indulgent, precious, and overdramatic work that sounded very much like the diary entries of a 22-year old put to music, but it was also impressively assured for the same reason, assuredly declaring "this is who and what I am right now" and doing it by way of sophisticatedly melodic electro-pop and expressive vocal work. Even if it didn't do it for you, it was hard to deny that it heralded the arrival of a new talent with much potential that merited attention [...]

The past few years I've done anti-holiday cheer mixes for all of those christmas carol haters. I also put together mixes of indie holiday songs that are bearable. This year I'm too sick and overwhelmed with music to go through the absurd amounts of holiday songs that we'll all soon forget. So instead, there's this: some vaguely winter themed songs. Some are happy, some are less so, and some are there because I like them. There'll be another winter mix to look forward to further down the line. It's up to you to download and enjoy. [...]
Latest offering from Hey Rosetta! comes in the form of a Christmas EP. If you're feeling sentimental but sick of the same old holiday songs, A Cup of Kindness Yet should be up your alley. [...]
It's getting close to Christmas, and all the year-end lists are snuggled in bed with kerchief and caps. All that's left is awkward high school reunion like gatherings and drunken political discussions with over touchy uncles. Naturally, I'd expect you to play nothing but Boney M during this next fortnight, but if you need a palette cleanser, I'd whole heartily suggest the new Holiday EP from Newfoundland's Hey Rosetta! . A Cup Of Kindness Yet is only four songs, but like so much of the material from the East Coast outfit, [...]

It finally snowed full-force in Colorado this weekend, enough to divert me off the highway in a flurry of white, and to a roadside La Quinta on Saturday night coming home from the Patty Griffin concert. The temps hovered consistently at a lush 19º Sunday, and is currently at 7º. All is calm and bright because no one wants to move outside their electric blankets, so it's been a good weekend for me to road-test these songs. I am very pleased to report that this is my favorite December mix I've yet made. When it [...]

There was no music during labor. I had made plans and playlists, of course, but in the end everything happened too fast for me to even pause to consider whether I was in a Constantines or a Yeah Yeah Yeahs mood. (Mostly I was in the mood to have this baby, and now please.) And [...]
