Tearjerker – Rare [Album]
Even though Tearjerker is a Toronto band and Toronto is the city I have spent most of my physical life in, I heard of these guys last spring when I saw their debut record Strangers posted up on a Russian…
Motëm – The Forthcoming Mixtape [Mixtape]
I bought a ’94 Jetta when I turned 17 from all the blood money I earned making butter tarts for Dee, who hired me on probably illegally as a child labourer when I was 14 and paid me something retarded…
White Rainbow – Humidifier Plaza [EP]
Adam Forkner, the dude behind White Rainbow and the Humidifier Plaza EP, makes music a little off the beaten path. Sometimes the best way to put name to unnamed music is to simply describe it associatively, and his own bandcamp tags…
Man Mantis – “Over The Rainbow” (Remix)
We liked Man Mantis’s synthy Sea Ambulance EP A LOT. Then we loved his full length record Cities Without Houses even more, and we were super excited to see what would come of his ambitious Kickstarter campaign that aimed to fund a (much warranted) limited…

Chevalier Avant Garde – “Haircut”
I know you’re thinking: “I love visual aesthetics that include girls in tinsel wigs and nipple tassles.” Me too, my friend. Me too. Let’s see if we also both love “Haircut,” the latest 7″ release from Chevalier Avant Garde, the…
Heartbeat Hotel – “Windowsill 1″
Now that Toronto’s NXNE festival is all wrapped up, audiophiles like me can finally return to the realm of recorded music where everything sounds way fucking better. I love a live concert as much as the next person, but when…
Lantern – “Stranger I Come. Stranger I Leave.”
We were sitting around at a work meeting talking about the upcoming WYRD fest in MTL this weekend (curated by the righteous off-kilter Canadian music blog Weird Canada) when Tobias Rochman, a writer/musician dude, brought up Lantern. He was unraveling this…
