Forgive us for being behind on the news, but we’ve been secretely busy putting together the new Jaimee Eat World website and working on new covers for that project so we haven’t had time to talk about this yet. But Jimmy Eat World released a new song! Or, an old-ish song, but never released before. Speaking on the track, the band said, “By 2021, it … Continue reading Jimmy Eat World Releases “Failure”
We’re back for another installment of our travel series CF Goes To… and this time we set our sights to the rocky shores of Seattle, Washington. We snagged tickets to Death Cab For Cutie’s hometown kickoff show celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Plans with the intent of deepening our understanding and connection to the band’s major label debut and of course, answering a critical, pressing … Continue reading CF Goes To Seattle (Part 1: The Detour)
I threw on Horsefight’s EP “Volunteer” while doing the painstakingly boring chore of folding the laundry that I left in the dryer overnight to appropriately wrinkle, rendering half of its contents nearly unwearable in public spaces, and I realized I haven’t told you guys about them, so here we are. Horsefight is a collaborative effort between newlyweds Greg Wood and Sabine Bischofberger (congrats!) and Fred … Continue reading Horsefight Release Volunteer EP
It came out in October of 2024, but I wasn’t running features at the time and also I didn’t realize it came out until November. I’ve been playing it like crazy though ever since. Not a bad song in the bunch, really. They said this is supposed to be the last ever Japndroids album and I feel like there was barely even a blip of … Continue reading I Just Wanna Say I’m Obsessed With Japandroids Fate & Alcohol Album
Italian-based guitarist Marco Angelo amazes audiences with his proficient and virtuosic performances whether he be presenting original music or unique takes on popular favourites and his latest is no exception. Taking the classic theme from Sonic the Hedgehog, Angelo has reimagined the song in an eccentric and high intensity metal production where his playing really takes center stage. Admittedly it’s been a little while since … Continue reading Marco Angelo Takes Us From the Green Hill Zone to the Green Hill Battle Zone
At only 20 years old, rapper and vocal engineer Lil Murky seems well poised to make a mark on the London music scene before long. His recent release, a 6-track EP titled In Another Lifetime shows the young talent is well equipped and on his way to developing his sound and style all while showcasing a level of introspection that suggests he’s asking himself some … Continue reading It’s a Lil’ Murky In Another Lifetime
Not unlike the call of a bird perched above a quiet lake just as the sun begins to fall from its highest peak, the latest by Avaraj begins with a quick-panning multi-timbered synth that suggests an awakening. Paired with deep house bass, these arrangements repeat and build casually and calmly, raising us like an increasing tide into the first verse. Before long, the drums catch … Continue reading Avaraj Doesn’t Just Bring Light, They Bring An Eternal Sunset
From Edmonton, Alberta, musician-songwriter (a distinction they make, not us!) Tim James LaRiviere has certainly been making his way around the globe in unique ways, from performing at festivals and events to working out of the industry’s most iconic recording studios like Abbey Road (that’s the one) and Steve Vai’s Mothership Studio’s and the Red Room in France, he’s sure to have gained a diverse … Continue reading Introducing Tim James and the Very Special Guests
It’s oddly unnerving and sets the pace for a hesitant and peculiar journey through the 8 track-album. Beginning with “Bitch,” which White Lines and Versace (WLAV) never quite comes right out to say and instead carefully only alludes to and heavily masks under breathy synths, MEAT is a dramatic instrumental album that seems to aim to make you uncomfortable and glancing over your shoulders even … Continue reading WLAV Binds Suspension, Horror and Addicting Electro-Beats on MEAT
On Thursday February 29th, the coldest day of the week by far after unseasonable highs, I shuffled myself down to Massey Hall for my first Ron Sexsmith show. I can’t remember when I’d first heard of Ron but I point it to being sometime in my teens, but since then it’s sort of just been one of those names that floats around you. He’s not … Continue reading Multiple Standing Ovations for Sexsmith at Sixty
