Evelyn Mason and Jeremiah Klein make up the Vacouver-based R&B experiment, Evy Jane . Their soon to be released 123 on King Deluxe features two originally composed recordings and two reworks of each the numbers. The EP's title track finds itself nestled into a sub-terrain of Evelyn's mind-bending precision to effortlessly lay her words on gallantly gaping floating rhythm provided by the kinetics of Mr.Klein. 'SAYSO' also gets remix treatment from Taal Mala which is featured last on the release. The second track, 'Ohso', is an electrifying paradigm [...]
When they sent me their new album, 5 Year Journey , it struck me that Vancouver hip hop outfit Self-Taught chose a very appropriate name for themselves. I'm sure it certainly describes how they learned their craft, but to me, it's fitting because the guys that invented hip hop actually created this movement & music that we all love by teaching themselves how to cut a record and move the crowd whilst on the mic. So anyhoo, I enjoy Self-Taught's name, but what of their album? ST is actually a 3-man crew: MC/Producers Vintage and [...]

So January turned out to be an absolute monster month for Atlanta music. I mean, if you had any doubts about the strength and vitality of the local scene heading into 2012, the past 32 days should have gone a long way towards quelling your fears. In addition to some strong releases from established veterans like 4-IZE and—most impressively—the long-awaited return of All the Saints , January also saw up-and-comers Wowser Bowser and Shook Foil make big strides on the strength of their respective releases. But, for me, the record that really stood [...]
![[mp3] Teen Daze // Brooklyn Sunburn](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4031786_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link I went back and looked at when we first talked about Vancouver's Teen Daze here, because it feels like we've known about him forever, and we're just now getting a glimpse of his debut album. The hazy beatsmith was first talked about around here in October of 2010, and we've had about 7 or 8 posts on him since then. (The first mention I can find of him on the blogs, however, is in May 2010 on [...]
Vancouver sound-adventurers No Gold have let-go the delicate new dub-fused jam "Good and Bad" - just premiered on Fader. With haunting organs, thuddy bass and Whomadewho-esque vocals, the band step away from the previous tropi-cool vibes and down a more austere route. Jack had already mentioned the possibility of the sound-change mid last year so its exciting to see the fruition and execution! No Gold, "Good and Bad" by The FADER
![[mp3] Yukon Blonde // Stairway](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4027195_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link Vancouver's Yukon Blonde has been on our radar for a little while now, although this most recent track of theirs makes me second guess our comparison of the band to another Northwestern band: Fleet Foxes. Gone is the folk-centric feel that the band previously had on display; while the harmonies that the band is so adept at are still on display, the overall folk mindset has been replaced with a much stronger sense of urgency. [...]
Starting your Friday with a new Yukon Blonde song? Works for me. YB's new album, Tiger Talk , comes out on March 20th, but you can OOOOooooOOOoooooOOOOOO along with new single Stairway right now. MP3:: Yukon Blonde - Stairway Web:: yukonblonde.com
I'd been planning to post this song over the holidays, but it got lost in the shuffle. Anyhoo, better late than never I always seem forced to say, but it's especially true when it pertains to an enjoyable remix like this one here, done by Teen Daze for Vancouver outfit Young Liars.

DJ Soo & Tim Livingstone bring us one "Boom!" filled track with hip-hop legends mixed into a break beat, Ghetto Funk fabuloso.

A not really new, actually track from Blood Diamonds that tickled me so lovingly, I just had to post it up. Blood Diamonds - Grins This Canadian fella has been a little bit quiet through the second half of 2011, but this was a timely little reminder of why we love BD's erratic interpretation of dreamwave's standard tropes. More Blood Diamonds here. Also - what a dumbo for thinking Google would rank a DIY electronic act over the might of a Leo DiCaprio star vehicle, [...]
![[mp3] Teen Daze // Let's Groove](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3970455_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link It's been a bit since we talked about Vancouver's Teen Daze; that's not because he's been dormant. In fact, far from it. If we posted everything he had a hand in creating, we wouldn't have time to post anything else. (That's obviously hyperbole, but he's a busy guy.) And then I ran across his rework of Earth, Wind & Fire's "Let's Groove" and figured it was about time for him to get some space here again. [...]

Following the Day 81 conceptual video we told you about a few months ago, e.d.g.e. is now sharing a new one for another track off All Flow Everything , the amazing Confirmation , which happens to be a favourite of [...]
![[mp3] Memphis // I Want The Lights On After Dark](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3942114_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link Let me be honest: I forgot that The Pains of Being Pure at Heart even released an album in 2011. That means one of two things: I was too busy to give it a proper listen, or that it wasn't particularly memorable when I did listen to it. Really, it's probably some of both. It's not that I don't enjoy their brand shoegaze indie pop, but more that it doesn't resonate with me over the course of [...]

Vancouver's Babe Rainbow made his debut for Warp Records (Aphex Twin, Hudson Mohawke, Autechre to name a few gems on the Warp roster) in 2010 with the Shaved EP , and graced Mutek 2011 with a left-field set that left those present unsure of whether they should dance or take in the performance as they would a philosophy book. Shortly after Mutek, Warp released Babe Rainbow's second EP, entitled Endless Path . If listeners weren't in awe after Shaved, Endless Path definitely [...]
