premiere: Cafe Lanai share two haunting new tracks
Montreal duo Mind Bath + Forever -- aka Cafe Lanai -- return with two steamy, viscerally haunting new love songs, including a psychedelic self-directed video for the first song they wrote as a group. The duo says about "Denim Jacket" and the intensely emotional, Blue Hawaii-produced "Here 4 U":
video premiere: Bobbypin – Consequence

premiere: mind bath – over new york
Montreal artist Michael Brock, aka Mind Bath, debuts his emotional new single, taken from his forthcoming I Was Young EP, out digitally on June 17th via Olympia Records (UK) + on his own imprint Bedroom Dubs.

RYAN Playground – Are You Mad
Dreamy and very emotional new track from Montreal's RYAN Playground, taken from her forthcoming album elle, out February 24th via Ryan Hemsworth's always great Secret Songs label:
premiere: Mind Bath – Bad Timing
A couple months back we posted up a "floating, intoxicatingly languid" breakup jam from Montreal artist June Moon, aka Forever, who makes up half of tropical house/paradise party duo Cafe Lanai. Not to be outdone, her bandmate in the group also makes sensual, intensely yearning slow-jams as Mind Bath, and will release his proper debut single this week on Cascine's singles imprint CSCN...
