After a relatively quiet 2009 (It would be nice if my relatively quiet years included an album I produced being shortlisted for the Polaris Prize ), Hawksley Workman is poised once again for a big year; the Polaris-shortlisted album Workman produced was Hey Rosetta!

Somehow we decided that recording a music video would be an appropriate way to spend the afternoon. Feel more than welcome to check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =FPSd3ow-TKc The band behind today's post, Hey Rosetta! , is a six-piece Canadian indie-rock/pop act hailing from the always balmy St John's, Newfoundland. A Thousand Suns can be found on the band's second full-length album Into Your Lungs (and around in your heart and on [...]
