![[Album Review] Born Ruffians- Birthmarks](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4895687_lg.jpg)
by Tiana Feng Rating: Release Date: April 16, 2013 Label: Paper Bag Records I don't think I was the lone wolf, but I hated Born Ruffian's 2010 LP Say It. I thought it was sloppy and all over the place and frankly not memorable. The appropriately named "Birthmarks" could be [...]

by Tiana Feng Rating: Release Date: April 16, 2013 Label: Boompa It's hard to believe Ritual Tradition Habit is only the debut full length from Vancouver's The Belle Game. Before this, they had 2 EPs. 20092s Inventing Letters and 20112s Sleep to Grow . None of which [...]
![[Listen] Emorie- Never Goes Away](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4895244_lg.jpg)
by Tiana Feng Here's a find from Bandcamp . Sometimes it amazes me how much unknown projects come out of just Toronto alone. To be honest, when I saw this album artwork I thought I was going to get some metal. It's electropop music that has occasional organic elements like violin and cello. Never Goes Away by EMORIE

by Tiana Feng Here's a cover of Bill Callahan/Smog's "Red Apples" from In Media Res . Andrew Lee takes it in a sonic direction in terms of arrangement with more layers. It reinforces the creepiness of a widowed woman who started a potential new relationship seeing her ex-husband in her dreams with red apples. Red Apples by IN MEDIAS RES
![[Album Review] Corinna Rose- Northeast Southwest](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4892966_lg.jpg)
by Tiana Feng Rating: Release Date: April 11, 2013 Label: Independent Corinna Rose is the stage name for singer-songwriter Corey Gulkin. However, as proved in her debut LP Northeast Southwest she should not be pigeon-holed into the category of guitar wielding storyteller. Maybe it's the fact that she is [...]

by Tiana Feng Rating: Release Date: March 26, 2013 Label: You've Changed Records Shotgun Jimmie follows up 20112s Transistor Sister with the appropriately named Everything, Everything. Like the cover, the album is snapshots of random and whimsical moments. Most songs fly by [...]
