True Blue

Apr 20, 2011, 10:53am Soft Signal
Sometimes, I worry that this blog is little more than a Paper Bag Records cheerleading site. Their artist roster reads as almost an exact list of my most-listened-to artists week and after week, and a good percentage of posts here on Soft Signal have been dedicated to the likes of Young Galaxy, Austra, The Rural Alberta Advantage, Winter Gloves, and more. But there's very good reason for it, Paper Bag really knows how to pick 'em. To celebrate both eight years as a label and the launch of their new website, Paper Bag called upon their artists to [...]

Second Look: Hometowns

Mar 30, 2011, 8:21am Obscure Sound
After the release of their most recent album Departing this year, Ben takes a look back at their memorable debut, Hometowns. After lukewarm acclaim for Departing, he looks at Hometowns for clues about where the Advantage could and should be going. At the very least, it is certainly an album worth revisiting.

Review of The Rural Alberta Advantage's Departing

Mar 3, 2011, 8:30am Chromewaves
Review of The Rural Alberta Advantage's Departing Vanessa Heins It's fitting that there was on The Rural Albeta Advantage's debut album Hometowns a song called "The Ballad Of The RAA" because really, theirs was a nearly perfect story. The Toronto trio went from sparsely-attended open mic nights around town through a whirlwind of buzz - including a glorious, crystalline moment in an packed Austin church - that saw them become critical and popular darlings, all on the back of that batch of perfect, almost bewilderingly-simple but heartfelt songs. If this were the feature film adaptation [...]

An Interview with the Acorn's Rolf Klausener (Sound Affects)

Feb 24, 2011, 11:00am PopMatters
Restoration - The Acorn (Official Video)
PopMatters chats with Rolf Klausener about the Acorn's superb and concise new record, No Ghost . With their latest LP, No Ghost, Canadian folk-poppers the Acorn have done a strange thing: scaling down and de-glorifying their craft (after the immaculate Glory Hope Mountain from 2008), making it seem like a wonderful progression towards a woodsy, utopian breed of rock. There is an awful lot of joy in the record, as if time spent recording it in the wilderness--they retreated to an isolated cabin to piece the tunes together--was as freeing an...

The Rural Alberta Advantage

Feb 14, 2011, 6:32pm Obscure Sound
The Rural Alberta Advantage probably appreciate movies like The Deer Hunter, the 1978 classic that depicted the inhabitants of a small, factory-dependent town shortly after the Vietnam War. These portrayals of ex-soldiers/steel workers with deep emotional wounds made for a great film with a top-notch cast that contributed to some of the finest character development [...]

The Snowtorious B.I.G. is coming. So are The Submarines.

Feb 2, 2011, 8:33am Chromewaves
The Snowtorious B.I.G. is coming. So are The Submarines. Autumn De Wilde With a massive-ass snowstorm bearing down on most of the eastern half of the continent last night, the smart thing to do would probably have been to stay home and hunker down. I opted for option b), trying to beat the storm to the Sound Academy and back for The Decemberists , so today's post is weather-shortened and consists of just show announcements. Starting with adorable duo The Submarines from sunny California. They're going to be releasing a new record in Love Notes/Letter Bombs come April [...]

a (not so) tiny mix :: a love letter to music and a boy…

Jan 12, 2011, 8:18am folk hive
a (not so) tiny mix :: a love letter to music and a boy… Emotions, specifically those related to love and other gross feelings, are not my strong suit. I do not excel at words in those instances and I do not win at letting those around me know they're importance in my life. As a subsitute, I do this with music. And if we think about it, the differences between love and music, as emotions and things even, are so fine that they are almost invisible. It's true that most definitions of love and it's associated feelings revolve around people and tangible things, things you can touch and feel and move [...]

The Tallest Man on Earth – The Wild Hunt. Download "Burden of Tomorrow" (mp3). Download "King of Spain" (mp3). The Tallest Man on Earth is the sardonic musical name of five-foot-seven-inch Kristian Matsson. He has a raspy voice, sings songs with beguiling melodies and refined lyrics, and picks and strums with verve. Both The Wind Hunt and Sometimes the Blues is Just a Passing Bird are each the most consistently relishable albums of the year. Quasi – American Gong. Download "Repulsion" (mp3). Download "Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler" (mp3). Quasi is Sam Coomey on guitars and vocals supported by Joanna [...]
