Toronto band Pablo Paddy released the music video for Need to Know.
The band consist of Patrick Beedling, Joseph Stracuzzi, Calum Beedling and Jonny Smith.
About the video: The music video deals with the repercussions of one small error: running a red light while on a bike and getting caught.
In the slapstick video which they filmed, that minor infraction escalates to an absurd degree.
They shot the video in Toronto’s east end and impersonated police officers for the shoot – luckily they had no run-ins with the real police.
The song is meant to inspire people to create meaning in their lives as they age, while capturing the sense of chaos and confusion that goes along with carving out an identity and figuring out who you want to be in life.
Twitter can be useful a thing for checking out music, thanks to Adam White.
This is an artist who just released an album earlier this year and went under the radar.
It is Bruce Peninsula (Don’t know if they are still active?) member Misha Bower.
I’m just going to focus on the title track which has a music video.
It is a raw and emotional song that pulls you!
Throwback to the soulful orchestral sound from the late 60s/early 70s a-la Joni Mitchell and Neil Young.
I’m a few days late but this is a killer dance tune!
Montreal-based electro-pop artist, Radiant Baby released the music video for The One.
The One is taken from the album Restless which came out back in February 8, 2019 on Lisbon Lux Records.
Watch the glossy high production, funny and cheeky music video.
Somehow I feel Destroyer is an enigma.
Today, Destroyer proudly shares a new video for “It Just Doesn’t Happen” the second single from the Canadian outfit’s upcoming album Have We Met due on January 31, 2020 via Merge Records.
About the song: “It Just Doesn’t Happen” hardly features any “visuals” at all.
A lone snowmobiler travels through the night, only the light of their vehicle illuminating any of the surrounding area.
The traveler meets a number of figures along the way, but largely spends their journey alone on in the frigid, dark night.
Slightly foreboding yet comforting in its delivery, “It Just Doesn’t Happen” plays into Bejar’s initial vision for Have We Met as a Y2K album. A statement from the band confirms “the songs do seem to point at a very modern dread—one that heightens the more you consider it.”
Atmosphere and loose approximations of a place or feeling are what we’ve come to expect from any new Destroyer record— certainly not an easily defined and stridently adhered to theme or concept.
Have We Met manages to meet somewhere between those disparate Y2K reference points and Destroyer’s own area of expertise, gliding deftly into territory that marries the old strident Destroyer with the new, aged crooning one of late.
Amazing Tuesday news!! Basia Bulat dropped a music video for her upcoming album called Are You in Love? That album drops on March 27, 2020 via Secret City Records.
About the song: I wrote Your Girl during a snowstorm in Montreal and recorded it under the warm desert sun in Joshua Tree,” says Bulat.
“Someone once told me you can’t sing and cry at the same time but that wasn’t true for me when we were recording this one.
There’s joy in finally being free from a painful situation, relief, laughter—even as it feels impossible to ever forget the pain or understand why that storm came through your life the way it did.
And so, light on your feet, you dance with the memory instead.
If you’re listening to this song and understand what I mean, know that I’m singing with you as we’re dancing in that swirling wind.”
The video was directed by Brian Sokolowski and filmed in northern Quebec.
Also if you can’t wait that long, check out her other side project with her partner/husband Andrew Woods called Legal Vertigo.
Whose album Tragic Future Film Star came out on November 15, 2019. Continue reading →
