Hach, wie wunderschön klingen die denn? Am Mittwoch kommen die Kanadier von Evening Hymns nach Berlin und werden den Privatclub in eine Stätte der Besinnlichkeit verwandeln. Mit ihren seichten Indie-Folk-Melodien erinnern sie an traumhafte Sonnenuntergänge am Strang oder einfühlsame Spaziergänge mit der Liebsten... und so schnell sich ein Blogger mit seinen Zeilen verlieren kann, so wird es am Mittwoch beim Konzert nicht anders sein. Für Tagträumer genau die richtige Musik, um aus dem tristen Alltag mal auszubrechen: Und wir haben noch 22 Freikarten für diesen Genuss. Einfach diesen Post bis Mittwoch [...]
Frank Yang Though inconvenient and unfortunate in real terms, there was something appropriate about the fact that half of Rachel Zeffira's first North American tour was canceled on account of visa issues. After all, her musical career only took the course that it did because of an overzealous British immigration officer refused her entry to the country, causing her to miss her an important music college audition. That all worked out for the best, of course, as it set her on the course to become half of Cat's Eyes with Faris Badwan [...]
I'm not even sure if people read any of the pre-Long list pieces about Polaris anymore. With 240 people writing in their fictional ballot and ten times that ready to tell why those choices are wrong, it's a torrent of maybes and what ifs. Basically, it's the music nerd mock drafts, and we all saw how accurate those were this weekend. Either way, the reason I take part in Polaris every year is that for a brief moment - the 30 minutes or so it takes to announce the 40 albums that end up on the Long List [...]
On le pressentait l'année passée ( lire ) mais l'aventure Kill Your Pop , initiée dix bougies plus tôt par la toujours volontaire équipe de Sabotage , touche à sa fin - du moins dans sa configuration actuelle. Quelques murmures, quelques suppositions - dont la possibilité d'une union libre entre le Novosonic et le KYP -, mais décidément rien ne filtrera de la bouche de Boris, programmateur patenté ( lire ), qui préfère jouer la montre et le recul estival pour se prononcer sur la suite. C'est donc non loin des fameuses pompes funèbres Meurdra [...]
Released on the continent and in his native Canada last year, and now getting a welcome UK release courtesy of the farsighted folks of Tin Angel , Spectral Dusk is the second album by songwriter Jonas Bonnetta in his Evening Hymns guise. A meditation on the death of his father, perhaps the most remarkable thing is that it’s not in any way a mawkish set of self pitying "sad dad gone" songs, but a reflective acoustic space realised through some powerful, airy, literate songs. The album [...]
Chariot from SomeLoveMusic on 8tracks Radio . Tracklist: Rooster - Doron Diamond Family Tree - Evening Hymns A Lifetime in Heat - The Guggenheim Grotto Leviathan - God's Little Eskimo Boyfriend - Chelsea Wolfe Cabin In The Burn - Evening Hymns USA - Yellow Ostrich Thumb - Meursault
Our video round up today includes Canada’s wonderful Evening Hymns , comprised of Jonas Bonetta and a rotating collective of musicians which includes members of Ohbijou, The Wooden Sky, The Burning Hell, The D'Urbervilles and Forest City Lovers. This is the beautiful video for Family Tree from new album Spectral Dust , out on the 8th April. As a bonus, you can stream another album track, Arrows , too. We also have a rather impressive stop-motion video for Ballad of a Prodigal Son from Lincoln Durham’s next album [...]
Spectral Dusk, the sophomore album from Canada’s Evening Hymns, focuses on the loss of core member Jonas Bonnetta’s father and coming to terms confusion, frustration and emptiness that comes from losing a loved one. The record is in essence a heartfelt love letter from a son to his father filled with memories, heartbreak and healing. Spectral Dusk is a beautiful album and a few standouts include the contemplative “Asleep in the Pews”; the teary, broken steel guitar on “Moon River”; the string arrangements on “Irving Lake Access Road”; the anger on “Family Tree”; and the tender hymn “Song To Sleep [...]
E’ al crepuscolo che i contorni delle cose si assottigliano, quasi rarefacendosi, dietro quel tratto indistinto, vago e confuso dei ricordi. Una porzione di esistenza che non vive secondo una realtà immanente ma reverbera quella effimera e creativa dell’immaginazione, sublimando un passato che, quando non evoca felicità e spensieratezza, può anche essere braccato da fantasmi, incubi, spettri che ingoiano. Ed è proprio questo livello sensoriale che rende la percezione degli eventi più intima e riflessiva, permettendole financo di ridisegnare una vita “altra”, almeno fino a che la fioca luce dell’aurora non ridarà forma al mondo circostante, così come agli occhi [...]
by Tiana Feng Originally I thought I was going to miss part of Saturday night's Wavelength 13 line-up because I had to catch a bus home and work the next morning. However, I stayed the entire night, which resulted in me needing to wake up at 7 am to make it to work but it was totally worth it. As the audience was trickling in from late streetcars, Bernice took the stage delivering some unique [...]

Ali Biddell It hadn't occurred to me until just now, but there's a bit of a parallel between this site, right here, and Wavelength . They got a couple years' head start on me, but both of us spent a solid decade servicing the Toronto independent music community - Wavelength with a weekly concert series that helped introduce the city and the world to much of the amazing music being produced in the 416 and 905, and chromewaves by, um, going to shows and taking pictures. Okay, perhaps the scale is a little different, but both of us also [...]

It's like a blog birthday present (we turn 3 next month!). The line up is listed below. All-access festival passes are $39 and can be picked up at Rotate This, Soundscapes or Ticketfly . Thurs Feb. 14 @ The Shop under Parts & Labour, 1566 Queen St. W. Lullabye Arkestra Ell V Gore [...]
es war ein feierlicher schwur. ich hab ihn in aller kürze gebrochen. ich wollte mir diese art der vorschau nicht mehr antun. denn sie ist sehr zeit- und nervenraubend. und dann geschah es wie von allein, dass sich die daten und die links sammelten und zusammengeführt werden wollten. ich übernehme für keinen termin, für keine namentliche nennung eine garantie. die quellen sind, so weit ich das beurteilen kann, verlässlich. aber irrtümer sind natürlich nicht ausgeschlossen. ergänzungen erbitte ich und werde sie, wenigstens gilt das für ein paar tage, hinzufügen.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone is having a great night ringing in 2013. In case you missed it, I had my radio show on CHUO FM today on New Year's Eve. I had a Matias of Ottawa Showbox be my special guest on the show. There are two phone interviews with Alaska of Yamantaka // Sonic Titan and Jonas Bonnetta of Evening Hymns. Did my countdown of the Top 12 Canadian albums of 2012. (Check Top 12 on here ). [...]
