These "Listen Up" posts are usually the Ack's domain, and truthfully I'm not sure what his main goal is for them, but I'm co-opting his style today because I really want you to listen to the self-titled debut from Montreal's Reversing Falls . Put on your hyperbole pants for this bit if you must, but I think this is my favourite record so far this year. High praise to be sure, but it should be taken with a grain of salt if you consider I'm merely the hill's "rap guy" and my old/new father lack of sleepness [...]
OFF Recordings' Robosonic will be joining us for our first ever event at one of Montreal's newest venues, Peopl. With Robosonic's epic beats playing off of one of Montreal's best sound systems this will be a night for Deep House heads to rejoice in it's awesomeness. Grab your tickets early and make sure not to miss this, who knows when this epic German duo will be back.... Official Facebook Event Online Tickets
Saintwoods fam, Love on the Beat resident, and overall good dude Jay London will be playing one of Montreal's biggest stages on May 19th. Piknic's opening days have long been some of the most sought after gigs of the year boasting attendances well into the thousands. This year Jay is playing a 3.5 hour extended set before Laura Jones and Matt Tolfrey rip it for the rest of the day.... this is NOT an event to miss, get a double cup, get there early, and enjoy a long day of fun in the sun. [...]
Hot Creations' Miguel Campbell will be joining us for a very special Love on the Beat on May 23rd. After having to postpone his last show in Montreal it is a serious understatement to say that this one is truly highly anticipated. If you have been to our past Love on the Beats you know what to expect.... if not check out our latest album here. Official FB Event Online Tickets
Desde Montreal llega A K U A, una propuesta con una combinación de sonidos que resultan en un pop que es delicado cuando debe serlo, pero también impetuoso. Aquí está el video de "Gravity" el primer sencillo de su EP debut One's Company , producido por Andy Bauer de Twin Shadow. Enjoy.
When the defiantly explicit Club Motherfucker first began in this very venue now a decade ago, I wasn't anywhere near old enough to enter into these sorts of wide-eyed, openminded nocturnal shenanigans and nor was either member of tonight's central attraction, Blue Hawaii . Comprising Montréal native speakers Raphaelle Standell-Preston and Alex "Agor" Cowan, this trip represents the very first time the duo have washed up on British shores under this given guise and, having been active for quite some while already, this evening's UK début is long overdue. Their début-slash-sophomore depending on which member you request [...]
Filed under: News , Video , News Today, Oh Boy! In case you missed it, Matt Berninger , Aaron Dessner and Bryce Dessner of the National did an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit today. After answering a slew of fan questions, the band released a minimalist video clip for their new track "Sea of Love" off their upcoming new album Trouble Will Find Me . Check out the new video below.

Might Ciara now finally officially be on the "comeback trail" with "Body Party" ? Looking at the all the positive reactions that met the single when it dropped a few months back and the track quickly climbing up the charts to become her first Top 10 R&B Billboard hit since 20102s "Ride" (not to mention the many instances we've seen of various-aged females-of the ratchet vein and not-attempting to recreate the accompanying video 's seductive choreography), it appears so. Montreal's Kid Masterpiece , who has been on a [...]

Grimes subió a su tumblr el video de "Venus In Fleurs", uno de los tracks de Geidi Primes , su primer LP. El video fue hecho por su amiga Video Marsh desde hace un buen rato, pero hasta ahora pudo ver la luz. Enjoy.
![Sarah Neufeld – Hero Brother [Listen/Download] + Playing Arboretum Arts Festival on August 17, 2013](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4926465_lg.jpg)
For Arcade Fire fans/lovers. Sarah Neufeld who plays violin is going to be dropping her debut album called Hero Brother , on August 20th via Constellation Records . Here is a blurb Hero Brother expands on Neufeld's inspirations and experience, flowing through shifting atmospheres and oscillating between restrained, stately ambience, emotive études, and raw kinetic energy. Have a listen to the leading single, Hero Brother What is also exciting, Sarah will be playing at this year's Arboretum Arts Festival on August 17th. How exciting [...]
Drone, as a genre, is one only rarely associated with such salubrious surrounds as those of the Southbank Centre. Of course its dingy tendencies and industrial undertones ensure it's not entirely incongruous with the gently brutalist cement work smothered about the innards of this iconic construction, although the two don't quite make for an immediately logical fit. And as such, in what for me became an increasingly impatient wait to witness the live collaboration between two of its most eminent modern-day practitioners in Daniel Lopatin (perhaps best recognised under the guise of inscrutable Brooklyn phantom, Oneohtrix Point Never) + Montréal [...]

Braids regresa con "Amends" rola que saldrá en un nuevo 12" junto a "In Kind" el próximo 11 de junio. Ambas serán parte de su nueva producción que saldrá en Arbutus el próximo otoño. Enjoy. ♩ Braids - Amends
![Braids – Amends [Listen]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4919957_lg.jpg)
This is a big surprise and just got posted on Pitchfork . The long awaited new track from Braids has come out. Taken from In Kind // Amends which drops on June 11th. What is surprising, they are on Arbutus Records & Full Time Hobby, while still on Flemish Eye. The band has gone more of a electro-dance route. Similar from Blue Hawaii. I actually like this song since it has a fun and epic dance beat to it. So what you think of Amends?
of Montreal Además de su álbum recopilatorio y su documental, Kevin Barnes ha tenido el tiempo necesario para trabajar en un álbum más de of Montreal . El líder y mente detrás de la banda de Georgia , reveló en su Tumblr que este este trabajo ya está terminado y se titula Lousy With Slyvianbriar . Es muy distinto del Paralytic Stalks . La mayoría de las canciones las escribí mientras experimentaba un aislamiento en San Francisco a principios de [...]

Prince Innocence "Golden Hour" The slow building synth laden track "Golden Hour" is from Prince Innocence , the Toronto and Montreal based duo of Talvi Faustmann on vocals and her boyfriend Josh McIntyre of Little Girls on pretty much everything else. "Golden Hour" is off Prince Innocence upcoming EP Lapse , out April 19. You can listen to "Girls," another track of their upcoming [...]
![Groenland – The Chase [Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4916038_lg.jpg)
I was very curious on who Groenland is? With a band name like that, you would think the band is from Europe or Iceland. Nope! They are from Montreal, Canada! The band consist members of: Sabrina Halde: Vocals, ukelele, keyboard, percussions Jean-Vivier Lévesque: keyboard, electros, percussions Jonathan Charette: Drum Simon Gosselin: Bass Gabrielle Girard-Charest:Cello Fanny C. Laurin: Violin [...]
Apparently one must keep a constant eye (and both ears) on Montreal remixing/ production phenom Kaytranada , because with the way dude is on his grind, if you happen to turn away for just a second or two, you're bound to miss out on a lot. We last mentioned Kay around these parts last month to gush over his re-edit of Jill Scott's "Golden" , but in the weeks since he has yet to take a pause for the cause, keeping his hustle paws strong with not one, but two stellar tweaks on a couple more [...]
