[ via ] On Portals newest feature section, "PORTALswap", the London/San Francisco project, Joseph Stallion was showcased. The band consists of two, Max Petrek and his female vocalist, Erin Ross. They teamed up with Montreal's Seapoint to fabricate an atmospheric bass churner that hits incredibly deep in all fields. 'Made Like This' lays down a set of noisy embedded samples while synths hover over it to enlighten the ever so captivating vocals of both Max and Erin. There's a sense of spatial ambiance that Seapoint brings to the track [...]
![[mp3] Mac DeMarco // I'm A Man](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4051538_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link We talked about Mac DeMarco's previous single, "Baby's Wearin' Blue Jeans" last month sometime, noting that DeMarco's previous work had been with the band Makeout Videotape. Honestly, between that track and this one, his new single called "I'm A Man," it doesn't even sound like the same singer. "I'm A Man" is from the forthcoming Rock and Roll Night Club , which is due out on March 20 th through the folks at [...]

I know he's a rather buzz-tastic chap these days, but I've loved Michael Silver's (aka CFCF) stuff for a while now , so I'mma go ahead and post this new track from his upcoming album Exercises . Exercise #3 (Building) is a peek into the contemplative nature of CFCF's new record (which was partly inspired by "institutional architecture and 702s Canadiana" amongst other things), and it is really rather beautiful and hypnotic.

TOPS - Turn Your Love Around Sometimes I worry about just how many superb full-lengths pass the average music fan/blogger/critic/whatever by. I hadn't heard of TOPS until today (despite the Pitchfork , No Fear of Pop recommendations) but it turns out in just under two weeks, they'll be bringing out an entire record's worth of Twin Sister -esque soft rock, on February 28th. ' Tender Opposites' would appeal to virtually every Twin Sister fan going, just like 95% of Bon Iver fans would fall head [...]

Yamantaka // Sonic Titan – "Hoshi Neko" Per glowing recommendation (pardon the pun) of Brent Ables and the rest of the Cokemachineglow staff, I've been jamming pretty heavily to the sorta-self-titled 2011 debut from Montreal's Yamantaka // Sonic Titan . Part of a Buddhist "psych-opera collective" with a flair for theatrical live shows, KISS-style face paint, and heavy concepts, the duo deals in a strain of joyous, genre-annihilating noise that fans of Boris, Boredoms, and general transformative face-melting [...]

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 [...]
![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 [...]

The Weeknd : Montreal - Video Yes! Ma track favorite de la mixtape Echoes of Silence ! Une vidéo réalisée par High5Collective . My favourite track from The Weeknd 's latest mixtape Echoes of Silence . A video by High5Collective .

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Over the last decade or so the United States has been flooded by wave after wave of Canadian bands, with a great deal coming from Montreal. While the majority of Montreal's exports have predominantly dwelled in the artistic pop spectrum with the likes of Arcade Fire at the helm, it's not all the city has to offer. Sonic Avenues are an energetic foursome kicking out power-pop/pop-punk on Television [...]
Here's what it looked like when Katy B played Montreal for the first time ever. Video by Michael Cumming. Godspeed!

Como les contamos antes , Of Montreal prepara el lanzamiento de Paralytic stalks , nuevo álbum de la banda estadounidense, sucesor de False priest , editado en 2010. Los de Georgia siguen en su cruzada de colorido pop y rock, que bebe de una amplia gama de influencias. Lo nuevo de Kevin Barnes y sus chicos sale oficialmente a la venta el 7 de febrero vía Polyvinyl, pero ya puede escucharse en línea de manera íntegra, través del sitio del magazine SPIN . El grupo ya había mostrado como adelanto los temas "Wintered debts" [...]

This is from the fourth album of Montreal's Maljube , entitled La Caverne , released towards the end of 2011. "Listening to La Caverne conjures images of stepping into the cavern with them; it is primal and vast, retro pop magnificence that sounds like edgy comfort from beyond." They have been nominated for a Bucky Award (CBC Radio 3) in the Best Reason to Learn French category. Download Synesthesie [...]

Ya veníamos atentos a todos los adelantos que la banda de Georgia of Montral hacía sobre su disco Paralytic Stalks . Ahora, finalmente, podemos escucharlo entero. Aún no salió en su edición física a través de Polyvinyl . Para eso tenemos que esperar al 7 de febrero. Sin embargo, luego de dos adelantos, Wintered Debts y [...]
First live show of the year I shall attend is for these find fellas. Halifax shoegazers Kestrels coming to town for the first time Saturday night @ Le Cagibi. They've got a fine debut album in 2009's "Primary Colours" and early last year with a 73 titled "The Solipsist" and last month with a free single titled [...]
Things are starting to get a little hectic. Between the trying to get everything prepared for a cross-country move and the fact that I work in a bar in a city that's about to host the Super Bowl causing me to have one day off in the next two weeks has me more than a [...]
