It was a bittersweet day when beloved Montreal duo She-Devils said goodnight earlier this year, as the group's Audrey Ann Boucher left us with the promise of new music from each member's respective solo projects in the near future...
Men I Trust has been one of our favorite bands in the world since they dropped the song of the year two years ago, and tonight they finally grace us with one of our most anticipated albums of 2019: listen to the group's 24-song double LP Oncle Jazz in its entirety below, and pre-order the record's second pressing on clear vinyl (the black vinyl first-pressing is already sold out) here.
If you've somehow managed to escape the charms of Quebec's Josie Boivin aka MUNYA up to this point, her dreamy new session with BALCONY is now here to change all that. One youtube commenter says that "Hotel Delmano" reminds them of the music from Little Big Planet, which is not necessarily a comparison we would have drawn, but that game is sweet and MUNYA should definitely be featured in the next installment...
Montreal duo Blue Hawaii return with a dreamy deep house anthem, taken from their new album Open Reduction Internal Fixation, coming this fall on Arbutus. "All That Blue" has a heavy late '80s / early '90s vibe, as Ra Standell-Preston takes a glorious house-diva turn over the track's pulsing beat, with that smoky sax and haunting vocoder accoutrement lifting the track into the rafters of the club...
Taken from Sorry Girls' debut LP Deborah, coming 10/18 on Arbutus. Video directed by the group's Heather Foster Kirkpatrick with Lara Olanick, "shot on an iPhone6 and inspired by the Magritte painting Les Amants":
Taken from Common Holly's new album When I say to you Black Lightning, coming in October. Video directed by Max Taeuschel & Aaliyeh Afshar:
MUNYA follows up her stellar and eminently charming EP compilation from earlier this spring, as she ushers in a welcome summer breeze with her lovely new single "Dove". Josie wrote the warmly lilting gem for a mama dove that was nesting just outside her window, and it's a sweet serenade of classic French-language pop bathed in MUNYA's signature, dreamy soft-psych vibes...
You've already heard their shimmering lead single "Eye to Eye", and today, Montreal's Bodywash share the glorious, tone-setting opener from their resplendent debut LP Comforter, coming soon on Luminelle...
