There is a distance in all of us and between all of us, one that can only be bridged with true belief in another human being. Trust is something that can only develop where pain and hardships have been, and it's something that, when created, is more powerful than any ocean and continent keeping you apart. This is the thesis of Untogether , the stunning debut album and second release from Montreal's Blue Hawaii . Consisting of BRAIDS singer Raphaelle Standell-Preston and electronic artist [...]
When Blue Hawaii do crawl out from the Montréal underground as they quite categorically will with their sophomore full-length, Untogether , there will commensurately undoubtedly, I assure you be this one comparison to plague them forever more. And that will be with one Claire Boucher. It'll be lazily articulated and repeatedly expressed, and it will from then on always be there. Yes, Raphaelle Standell-Preston – who sporadically floats away from BRAIDS to combine with Alex Cowan in becoming Blue Hawaii – can sound vaguely reminiscent of Grimes, as she unquestionably does at times [...]

Claire Boucher Whereas the Polaris Music Prize already has a seven year track record of honouring the top Canadian album, the Prism Prize is new on the scene - unaffiliated but sharing a similar mandate, but focused on the art of the music video rather than the album. And while some may have assumed the art form was on the decline due to the fact that their traditional medium - broadcast television - no longer plays them, the internet as well as the low cost of entry to powerful high-definition recording equipment [...]

A dinamarquesa Karen Marie Ørsted, nome por trás do projeto MØ , teve a internet aos seus pés em 2012 com o lançamento dos singles “Pilgrim” e “Maiden” , suficientes para transformar a cantora de apenas 23 anos na nova queridinha do pop. Apesar de sua estética não-comercial, que remete a artistas como Purity Rings e Grimes , a cantora apresenta um som acessível mas repleto de boas ideias, como demonstra em seu novo single, “Glass”, e em seu recém-lançado vídeo. Ao meio de tantos refrões grudentos, backing vocals que parecem [...]

About 200 of you guys participated in our annual readers poll, and the results were tight. You had the chance to vote for 5 albums, and I gave each album a point value, decreasing with each vote. So first place got 5 points, second place got 4, etc... The race was very close between Frank Ocean & Tame Impala, but in the end, Frank Ocean took home the Orange gold. All in all, the taste of you faithful bunch alligns quite well with mine, minus Mumford & Sons. In total, 252!! albums were voted for, which is insane. [...]

Thanks To Camilo for this great artwork. Looking back at 2012, there were plenty of albums that I loved. Was it the best year of music in recent memory? Maybe not, but it was a damn good year in its own right. There is a lot that we may look back on and remember well into the rest of the decade. This year I listed my Top 40 albums, as well as a few honorable mentions that were as close to making my list as they come. I didn't get to listen [...]
