Rarely do you come across a video that so clearly renders the electricity of a live moment, after it’s already gone.
Sounds like: Gotta love those French horns.

Artist: The Feeling
Album: Boy Cried Wolf
Here’s a witty take on the album teaser video and the sometimes hilarity that comes along with being band in the digital age.
Sounds like: “Look, I’m sorry guys by the world has changed. It’s about Instagramming and Facebooking and all that shit. We need to make meems not music…”

Artist: Séan McCann “Help Yourself”
Album: Help Yourself
This is the latest from Séan McCann. Recorded and produced by Joel Plaskett, its raw, thumpin’ east coast Canadiana at it’s finest.
Sounds like: “Pills for sleepin’, pills for eatin’, pills for keepin’ me awake…”

Artist: Leif Vollebekk “When The Subway Comes Above The Ground”
Album: North Americana
Vollebekk has this breathless spoken vocal style–like a melodic Dylan–that gives such a weight to his words and his stories a gut wrenching appeal.
Sounds like: “I guess it’s better to have left and laughed then to have never left at all…”

Artist: Hunting “Everything Is Going To Be Okay”
Album: Hunting
There is something completely comforting about the sorrow in Ferguson’s voice.
Sounds like: “Faces bleeding on the floor, scrolling verses on the wall, with them your not the only one, it’s come undone.”
