Hot Panda – “Future Markets” / New LP “Go Outside” Drops July 17

April 18, 2012

It’s been a while since I talked about Vancouver’s Hot Panda. In fact, I may still be a bit better since they moved away from Edmonton in 2011, after scoring a remarkable album, “How Come I’m Dead”, in 2010 (in fact, it easily made it into my top ten of the year). They were further [...]

Well, imagine my elation when I saw in my inbox an email from Edmonton’s own Twin Library. Regulars will know I’ve talked about this band a *lot* since NMM first started, and I’m about to talk about them again. The band just completed and released their newest album, “The Abandoned Reel”, which you can get [...]

Waters

April 10, 2012

Another one of those artists I don’t really know a lot about. All I can tell you is that Waters is an artist from Vancouver; and she joined another of that city’s bands, In Medias Res, on their most recent tour through the west. Her bandcamp page talks about her as ‘ambient’, but I’m sure [...]

Lioness – “The Night” / LP Out April 17

April 3, 2012

As always I’ve been perusing the depths of Cancon. Good Cancon, not most of the crap that wins awards at the Junos (to be fair, they did honor some very talented musicians who we’ve actually talked about and raved about here on NMM, but it was mixed in with far too much vomit; they’re just [...]

Cold Specks – Stream “Winter Solstice” / Opening For Great Lake Swimmers

March 27, 2012

What’s that? Who’s opening for Great Lake Swimmers in western Canada? You know, the tour that we announced here, and has a big circle around the Edmonton date in my calendar? Ha, I can tell you that – it’s Cold Specks. Cold Specks, the solo project of Etobicoke’s Al Spx, actually got noticed in the [...]

The first track that they’ve released, which you can stream below – is a bit different than their usual fare, combining [...]

Les Jupes – “What Am I Doing Here” / Tour Dates

March 8, 2012

Well, it’s official, as of last night I was a little depressed about not going to South By Southwest this year. Obviously, not being a full-time blogger, or even remotely, it would prove difficult to afford both the time and money to head down there every year – and Iwent in 2011 – but still, [...]
