Violent Future - Street Prowler (PREVIEW TRACK)

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Psychedelic Pill

 

On Psychedelic Pill, Neil Young reminisces about the good old days. It is the first double album he has recorded, and is his longest album to date – it is nearly an hour and a half long.


Alt-J - An Awesome Wave


Alt-J spends a lot of time explaining their name. If you type alt and j on a Mac keyboard, you'll get a triangle. But what does that have to do with slick indie pop? Well nothing, but apparently it has a deeper meaning for the band. The symbol is used in math to mean slow change, which they decided best represents their new sound after dropping their original name, the Films. It's all conceptual nonsense for a band whose music is far from conceptual.


CJLO 1690 AM Presents Safe in Sound M for Montreal Showcase - Nov 16th @ L'Esco

 

CJLO 1690AM is proud to present the Safe in Sound Showcase at this year's M for Montreal. Featuring a slew of artists who in some way are all related to CJLO, it will be a great way to spend a Friday night taking in some of Montreal and Canada's best music in a wide variety of genres.


D.O.A. @ Les foufounes électriques

D.O.A.

The spectacle at Foufounes Electriques on Monday night was no evening with your uncle and his dusty old punk LPs talking about the good ol’ days. Vancouver veteran rockers D.O.A. catered to a crowd of fresh faces who were hip to the new modernized and refined punk-rock, and also delivered a dose of Canadian grade-A punk nostalgia to the hoards of seasoned fans.


Ollie North – Bringer

 

Ollie North’s latest EP Bringer resonates a beautiful folksy aesthetic, which is firmly grounded in an urban sensibility. The softness and warmth of his sounds mix to construct a dreamy atmosphere, while his unassuming voice, almost hidden in the music, adds a homely comforting feel for the listener.
