Sasquatch!'s 2012 lineup is officially one day old and that means it's time for some post-reveal analysis. In the pages that follow, we run through the biggest highlights and surprises appearing on this year's bill, in addition to the most glaring omissions. We also highlight five names worth knowing as you prepare for Memorial Day weekend at the Gorge. Highlights Beck Stalk enough festival forums and you'll see Beck's name pop up every now and then. Shortly after these wishlist proposals there's typically a textual scoff and/or write off [...]
If you took the concept of "chamber pop" and adapt it in epic fashion for the big stage, you might end up with the music of Newfoundland's Hey Rosetta! . Originally conceived by songwriter/frontman Tim Baker as a way to put substantial meat on the bones of his solo songs, Hey Rosetta! has become one of the finest practitioners of intelligent, vigorous and sonically progressive "big picture" art/rock. With their 2008 album Into Your Lungs , Baker and band crafted a melodic masterwork of substantial heft and full-bodied dramatic power while providing a balance [...]
Based in St. John's, NL, the six-piece group is comprised of Tim Baker (vocals/piano/guitar), Adam Hogan (guitar), Josh Ward (bass), Phil Maloney (drums), Romesh Thavanathan (cello) and Erin Aurich (violin). Recorded in the dead of winter in two East Coast harbour towns with producer and singer-songwriter Hawksley Workman, "Into Your Lungs" began with a beautiful naivety and confidence.

Conceptually, the new record is a shift from Tim's earlier compositions [...]

We're slowly catching up on things at POP! Stereo Central and currently have 206 unread emails to sort through which means a bevy of tracks are still due to be posted in the next week or so and if that weren't enough I've already got TEN TRACKS YOU NEED #31 pretty much set to post (but you'll have to wait until next week to download).

I've spent the better part of this morning recovering from my annual visit to the Calgary Stampede. A visit that, this year, started off harmlessly in the beer gardens with Julie, but somehow ended with me rocking out in some greasy pub with a local cover band at 3am; If, by chance, the people who invited me to Denny's for beer and Moons Over My Hammy are reading this, I apologize for bailing. Anyways, today's tune is coming from another 2009 Polaris Music Prize shortlisted album. Red Heart can be found on Hey Rosetta! 's second album Into Your [...]
