Under a Wooden Sky

February 01, 2010
Default_artist_40px i (heart) music — There's good news and bad news when it comes to If I Don't Come Home You'll Know I'm Gone, the newest album from The Wooden Sky. I'll start with the good: frontman Gavin Gardiner no longer sounds like Chad Kroeger. Admittedly, I may have been th... read more »

Oh no, Oh No Forest Fires

January 29, 2010
Default_artist_40px i (heart) music — I'm really not sure what to write about Wants To Try Something, the new album from Oh No Forest Fires. And not for the usual reasons, either; whereas I usually say that when I don't know what to write, in this case, I'm saying it because there's... read more »

Drawn to Pink Moth

January 29, 2010
Default_artist_40px i (heart) music — Listening to The Wild, the debut album from Pink Moth, it's not too hard to spot what's influenced band leader Ray Cammaert: a whole lot of Destroyer, along with a pinch of Neutral Milk Hotel (and, on "We Walks", a teensy bit of The Beatles). If... read more »

Pick up Pick A Piper

January 27, 2010
Default_artist_40px i (heart) music — I never quite know what to make of the information that a member of Band X is also a touring member of a bigger, more well-known group -- after all, a lot of the time, it has no bearing on the band in question. Case in point: Young Galaxy. Steve... read more »

Reading Novels

January 25, 2010
i (heart) music — It's a little surprising that the debut EP from Novels didn't get more attention when it was released a month or two ago. After all, the band features some of the best young musical talent southern Ontario has to offer, with members from Tokyo P... read more »

Blown away by Bent By Elephants

January 22, 2010
Default_artist_40px i (heart) music — At first glance, it seems as though there are a couple of reasons to be leery of Bent By Elephants. They're a septet, for one thing, and for another they're McGill music students, and for another still they specialize in jazz-pop. While noneof t... read more »

The Union forever

January 22, 2010
Default_artist_40px i (heart) music — As I mentioned last week (several times), I recently left my job for a new one. The career change was accompanied by a massive CD clean-up -- not only physically, but also from my work computer's hard drive. Consequently, even though I left my o... read more »

January 20, 2010
2614612_thumb40 i (heart) music — For the longest time, I didn't bother listening to Amy Millan's latest, Masters of the Burial. After all, I haven't been much impressed by Stars' recent output, so -- coupled with some fairly tepid reviews on the album's release back in Septembe... read more »

Warming up to Heat-Ray

January 18, 2010
Default_artist_40px i (heart) music — I was a few years too young to appreciate bands like My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth at their peak (and what I have heard in the ensuing decades hasn't made me want to run and check them out), so unlike some people, I've arrived at Heat-Ray'... read more »
