Quintron and Miss Pussycat 's last tour was pretty short, and it left us wanting them to take a longer trek (or at least one that stopped by New York City), and this time around we get two shows in the City. Brooklyn's 285 Kent Avenue is one of the stops; the duo play there on April 28. The next night, they'll be playing in Manhattan at the Mercury Lounge. The full list of tour dates is below. Quintron and Miss Pussycat tour dates: 2/07 [...]
Andrew Sisk (Photo by Scott Munn) Today's song of the day is from one Andrew Sisk, who was passed on to me from Matt over at Pigeon Row (see them & their full list of clients here ) and I am greatfull this brooding singer songwriter's newest album is now with me. The album, Treelines, was released on January 31st and is nine thick-with-character songs recorded " ...in his apartment in Montreal with his son Elliott sleeping on his lap during vocal takes, and quietly watching him record classical [...]

Erin Passmore has a voice that will drop kick your heart. She is perhaps best known for her work in the Regina indie-rock band Rah Rah, where she's a multi-instrumentalist, contributing drums, keys, bass and her crowd-rousing vocals. Erin's voice is not brash, booming, or overdone. It's honest, warm and real. It's one of those gifts you're born with. And you can't help but take notice when she takes the mic. The collection of Erin's demos, beautiful in their own right for their sparseness and jolts of Erin's personality between takes, took her to Montreal in the summer [...]
Ruth Swanson Seeing San Francisco's Ty Segall at Halifax Pop Explosion 2010 was one of the most unexpectedly rowdy/violent shows I've ever been in the middle of, which was a bit surprising considering that as rough and garage-y as his stuff is, it's not all that heavy. Certainly not the obvious soundtrack for the bedlam that ensued that evening. Maybe it was just Halifax. Anyways, despite enjoying his music well enough, I've made a point of avoiding his shows as the odds of me getting kicked in the head seem to [...]
Montreal based epic electronic producer CFCF is gearing up for the release of his now EP, 'Exercises', which will show a different side to Michael Silver. A more atmospheric side, driven by piano and layered synths. The first track released from the EP is 'Exercise #3 (Building)' and shows us what to expect. So, less Balearic rhythms, more beautiful textures then. Channelling bits of Vangelis, Philip Glass and Ryuichi Sakamoto, 'Exercise #3 (Building)' is an journey across an electronic panorama with the listener as the passenger. Starting softly with the piano refrain the track gently guides [...]
Ever since Of Montreal were unfortunate enough to release one of 2007's most adored records, Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? , they have been condemned to have every note scrutinised and slapped up against the measuring stick of their former success. Which, of course, is a ridiculous way of looking at things; whether new album Paralytic Stalks is marginally worse or better than Hissing Fauna… in anyone's skewed opinion is absolutely irrelevant. Paralytic Stalks is its own album, and is simultaneously frustrating, self-loathing, insecure, thrilling, deranged, and always completely [...]
Montreal-based DJ + electronic artist CFCF has announced the release of his new mini-LP, Exercises via Paper Bag Records on April 24th. Exercises shows a different side of CFCF's ever expanding... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
If you don't remember, Love Thy Brother is made up of Connor and Liam Clarke out of Montreal Canada. We featured them on the very first edition of "Oh Canada!" and they have kept on making great music. Thieir latest track, a remix of Daughter's song "Youth", is a super chilled out dupsteb song which [...]
Ever since the release of Sonnymoon's Golden Age LP, I have been dying for this duo to blow up. Since then, they have been relatively quiet, only releasing a few remixes, singles, and the like. With little to no hype, Sonnymoon squeaked in the 2012 EP not long ago, and here is a set of visuals for the eerie single "Morning Person". With direction from Max and Alex Blum, this is the perfect treat to hold the fans over until Sonnymoon drops the anticipated full-length debut on Plug Research. [...]
Personnage iconoclaste et attachant, Jef Barbara n'indiffère jamais. Que ce soit par sa musique - croisement synth-glam affriolent, où le vernis italo-disco s'entiche d'un rimmel à la Ziggy Stardust - ou par sa personnalité tendancieusement attifée et maniérée, l'androgyne Montréalais glane à coup sûr et sans combattre cette ineffable affection cousue d'indicibles extravagances. Marivaudage concupiscent et délicieusement provoquant, les caresses synthétiques de l'éphèbe aux chemises flanelles s'absolvent pourtant de toutes mièvreries guindées ululant un prosélytisme gay rabat-joie et rabâché. Que ce soit par le biais de son univers musical, ou plus spontanément par l'entremise de son journal [...]
![[Dubstep]Foxes – Youth (Adventure Club Dubstep Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4032589_lg.jpg)
Montreal based Christian Srigley and Leighton James are back again with another track under their their seen-all-over-hype-machine moniker, Adventure Club . The duo officially released this as of yesterday, just two weeks since the release of their last track, "Do I See Color". The DJ/producer duo has created an absolutely stunning vocal dubstep track in their remix of Foxes song, "Youth". Their melodic-synth driven style plays so incredibly well with Loui Rose Allen's voice, that you can't help but play it again and again. Foxes - Youth (Adventure [...]
![Yamantaka // Sonic Titan – Yt//St [Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4032443_lg.jpg)
Yamantaka // Sonic Titan debut album " Yt//St " was one of those albums that quietly came out in late 2011. Made it at #48 for the " Best of 2011 Canadian Albums ". As a rising band of 2012 they are starting to somewhat make a big impact thanks in part to Pitchfork . Their debut album is already making waves on the blogosphere and even their live shows are creating buzz, I was lucky enough to happened to see them live back in 2010 at Pop Montreal and the experience was indescribable [...]
Though much praise has fallen on the lap of Harlem-bred rap upstart ASAP Rocky, last night's show at Irving Plaza was his true coronation as the scene's torchbearer; not only did he keep the stage clear so he could maximize his own performance (he has had trouble with this in the past) plenty of special guests rolled through to pay homage. I did not go to this, because I'm a dumb idiot, and posting the footage is good penance, no? It looked so fun, and RapRadar 's Elliot Wilson won't stop tweeting about [...]
CFCF: "Exercise #3 (Building)" [ mp3 ] We love CFCF . "Exercise #3 (Building)" is taken from Montreal's CFCF, aka Michael Silver, new mini album, entitled "Exercises". According to the label, this release "shows a different side of his pallette with a series of subdued piano and synth based pieces. Pulling from influences like Philip Glass, Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Borden, among others, and using institutional architecture and 70s Canadiana as a framework". CFCF's "Exercises" is coming out on April 24th via [...]
