I will leave you with some of my favourite photographs I’ve taken. I’m currently preparing for an upcoming solo exhibition, LIKE WATER, A WINDOW, in Toronto as part of Contact Photography Festival. Runs April 28 - June 17th, more info here! -- Tess Roby

We were introduced to Toronto duo Amanda Crist + Carlyn Bezic aka Ice Cream by Meg Remy of U.S. Girls when she took over this very site recently -- Bezic and Crist play in Darlene Shrugg with Remy, and Crist's voice can be heard on U.S. Girls' brilliant new record In a Poem Unlimited -- and we were immediately taken by the group's bizarre and highly infectious warped pop jams...

Detroit-via-Toronto artist Daniel Benjamin aka Moon King continues to explore and hone his penchant for funky, slightly warped Prince-inspired retro dance-pop jams with his exceedingly charming and infectious new single "Apartment Fire", out today on Arbutus Records...

I have Ian Svenonius to thank for bringing Rich into my life. He has collaborated with Yoko Ono, Cindy Lauper and Martina Topley-Bird. Rich graciously gifted me the music for tunes ‘Rosebud’ and ‘Poem’. He also serves pasta for breakfast! He’s a friggin’ genius! Listen to his dance-tastic project Sistr Mid9ight. -- Meg Remy / U.S. Girls

Max has been my main collaborator in music and life since 2010. I thank the stars every day for this man. He contributed the music for ‘Velvet 4 Sale’, ‘M.A.H.’, and ‘L-Over’ off In a Poem Unlimited (he also produced, plays guitar all over the album and was an all around foot soldier for the cause)...

Daniel Benjamin aka Moon King follows up last summer's Hamtramck '16 with a slinky, slightly uneasy dance-pop jam, featuring the great David Carriere of TOPS on guitar. There's a pensive, disillusioned vibe to "I've Stopped Believing", which deals with Daniel decamping from Toronto to live in Detroit's Hamtramck neighborhood after feeling let down by his suddenly unrecognizable hometown.

Jacques Greene x Gorilla vs. Bear takeover: EBHONI interview
Ebhoni is a young singer/songwriter from Toronto I came across a few months ago, when she self-released a collection of tracks to SoundCloud called Mood Ring. As I brought up to her during our chat, though there’s a lot of really good music coming out of Toronto right now, the shadow OVO and XO casts is rather large...

Ok this is not a drill. I saw KLSH (Rochelle's longest close collaborator/ producer) on twitter say her new album is a wrap. There's really exciting R&B coming out of Toronto that isn't of the OVO / XO variety and Rochelle is at the forefront of all of it for me...
