To celebrate its seventh birthday, Paper Bag Records has combined two of our favorite things in music: covers and free stuff. The Seven Year Itch, as Stereogum reports, is a new compilation of cover songs performed by twelve of label's artists, and can be obtained right this very second for free. Just click here . Launched in 2002, Paper Bag Records has emerged as one of he premier indie labels, and for good reason. In its first year, the label released the critically acclaimed You Forgot It In People [...]

Today, Paper Bag Records celebrates its Sweet 7 in the industry (as a certain bunch of 'Babes might say) with the release of a free cover album , featuring many of its recording artists. Along , the e-mixtape includes Sally Shapiro 's "Crying in Africa." Yep-it's a cover! "Crying in Africa" was originally recorded by Nicolas Makelberge , a Swedish synth-pop artist. As far as I can tell, he's only released one album- Crying in Africa , back in August of 2006. If [...]

After making a name for himself in the blogosphere in '08 by crafting a barrage of (unofficial) remixes for the likes of Crystal Castles and others, Montreal-based Mike Silver (a.k.a. CFCF ) has gone on to hone a slew of top-notch (and officially sanctioned) remixes, including an awesome re-rub of Sally Shapiro's "Love In July" (the enigmatic Shapiro returned the favor and sang on his single "The Explorers"). Earlier this year he teased us with his groovy Panesian Nights EP and just stepped out with his full-length debut album, Continent. [...]

File under atmospheric electronica that you can either shake your groove thang to or float off down the a lazy hallucinogenic river by. This stuff is in the pocket. [...]

It may not be as monumental as celebrating the 20th anniversaries of labels like Matador, Merge, Warped, and Slumberland this year, but Paper Bag Records have made a nice gesture to celebrate their 7th Anniversary with a compilation featuring their bands covering a wide range of artists. Paper Bag have really done a splendid job over the last 7-years, cultivating a roster that really can't be held to one type of aesthetic or another. Bands like Sally Shapiro, Rock Plaza Central, CFCF, Little Girls, and more have all had a hand in shaping the current landscape of independent music and [...]

Pleasant surprises are rare in this day & age, but I have to say, one of the nice things about having one of these nifty music blogs, is that you tend to get pleasantly surprised on a fairly regular basis. This is exactly what happened when I listened to CFCF's Continent for the first time a little while ago. I knew nothing about him, other than that he was a Montreal DJ, and I'd seen his name out there as a remixer, but I was caught a little bit off-guard by how much I liked his [...]

In 2002, Toronto's Paper Bag Records had an auspicious first year by releasing a new millennial indie rock touchstone in Broken Social Scene's You Forgot It In People , one of the decade's most acclaimed albums, and one that helped shape thoughts and expectations of what indie rock could look and sound like in the '00s: sentimental and anthemic but still rooted in the raucous guitar rock of the '90s, all while featuring more members than an intramural softball team. Years later, the label still earns plaudits for curating a solid roster -- most recently given [...]

'Overtaken' is the debut release for Edwin van Cleef on the Space Disco label. The track has already recieved some major love from Radio 1's Jaymo + George. My favourite bit of the track is when it goes 'Ahhhhhhh-ahhh. Taken Over' and luckily for me this bit is repeated a fair few times. Which is great, it's my favourite bit. It's out now and backed with remixes from Mille, Neo Tokyo and FM Attack. Be sure to check the Mille remix, it's delightfully bonkers.... ♫ Edwin [...]
