Calder's debut album, Are You My Mother? , will feature Neko Case, other members of The New Pornographers and members of Ladyhawk and Frog Eyes. The album's first single, "Slip Away," is soft and sweet and features not much beyond gentle percussion and the keys Calder is known for. What's great is that she actually has a pretty good voice. Promise, the girl shows promise. Are You [...]

Artist: Immaculate Machine Album: High on Jackson Hill Label: Mint Records Released: 21/04/09 Words by: Danny Wadeson YEAH! WHOO! Slap your thigh and grab your best smile for some good new fashioned rockin' indie pop.

Vancouver band The New Pornographers and Victoria band Immaculate Machine have made their contribution to the Yellow Bird Project, by teaming up to design their custom designed t-shirt in support of the charity.

At first glance, Immaculate Machine's Fables appears to be one of those bands that talented musicians contribute to when they aren't doing their full time band.

Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand lends vocals on "Jarhand", the first song on the record, and also gets backing vox assistance from members of The Cribs. And is that was not enough, indie string hero Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy) [...]
