expect delay
Those who pay attention may note that I technically shared this song last Fall on its release, along with its companion B-side “Glow”, but that was a month before the official video for the song was released and considering how little quality video content there is from The Neverminds – I’ve been talking up the […]
Based on the press around the release of Liquorice last year, I had a feeling that Hatchie was going to eschew the full North American touring she’d undertaken for her first two records but it’s still a little disappointing that besides a not-even-handful of US shows earlier this year, it looks like she’s staying in […]
It’s been a poorly kept secret for years now that there were Mojave 3 reissues coming from 4AD at some point, but details had been less than vague until recently. Back in April 4AD released a limited edition run of their 1995 debut Ask Me Tomorrow as part of the Rough Trade 50 reissue series, […]
The theme of the week may well be unexpected returns, with The Radio Dept. back in action and now Shojoskip – the self-proclaimed “Happy Band From Tokyo” – returning at the end of this month for their first show and recordings in over a decade, and doing it all casual-like as if it’s no big […]
While it’s not the “new album and world tour”-level announcement we’ve been waiting for, the news yesterday that The Radio Dept. would be making their return to the stage with an appearance at Pitchfork London this November was unexpected and welcome. They haven’t performed live since the Summer of 2018 to close out support of […]
Long-time followers of Minneapolis’ She’s Green – that’d include me – probably noticed that their recent sets supporting Chapterhouse between Slide Away appearances – including Toronto a couple weeks back – opened with a new song. That song – “Close Your Eyes” was just released as their new official single with accompanying video, as an […]
You would think Skyless is a pretty distinctive name and also rather on the nose for a band with shoegazey/dreampoppy inclination but in fact there exist artists with that same name in both dance and hard rock genres and of course streaming services don’t disambiguate them so if you go looking, you’ll find some confusingly […]
When we last checked in with Winnipeg’s sundayclub, they were gearing up for not one but two Toronto shows to build on the interest around their debut single “Bannatyne” and I was working out how to fit at least one of them in my schedule. As it turned out, both shows were canceled due to […]
I’ve been a committed Luna fan for about 30 years now, starting from the day I bought a copy of Bewitched during university at the Kitchener location of The Beat Goes On when I probably should have been studying instead of cruising the used CD bins of the Kitchener-Waterloo region. And, from those very first […]
Even though they said last Summer that their next two releases would be EPs, some – myself included – hoped that 2026 would bring the debut full-length from She’s Green. And while that could certainly still happen, they’ve made good on their initial promise of companion extended plays – following last year’s Chrysalis, the band […]
