Album/EP: Single
Known as electro-jazz deconstructionists, Montreal-based trio Saxsyndrum, has returned with a brand new track titled, “Up To You.” The song sees the band continuing their shift into pop territory while perfectly straddling the line between live-electronics and their experimental roots.
Plus, who doesn’t appreciate a good sax solo, am-I right?

Artist: Shiny Wet Machine “Stun Gun”
Album/EP: Single
Shiny Wet Machine (a new collaborative project between Sizzy Rocket + Alex Fitts of The Kickdrums) has just released their debut track, the infectiously charged, “Stun Gun.” Hook-laden and full of fuzz, the song pays homage to the merits of both member’s previous works but also stands loud af all on its own.

Artist: The Velveteins “Don’t Yah Feel Better?”
Album/EP: Slow Wave
Off of their forthcoming debut LP, Slow Wave, “Don’t Yah Feel Better?” from Edmonton trio The Velveteins relishes the sweet simplicity of 60s guitar-pop and blends it with the gentle twang of both surf rock and traditional Indian music.
