It’s undeniable: from Cootes Paradise at the edge of the valley to the Red Hill Valley in the east, the leaves are turning colours, and Megs and I think we’ll be in for quite a show this fall.
So, to get into that “light a fire and pass me my sweater” mood, we’ve got a few autumn-time selections for this week, plus a bunch of up-and-coming Canadian artists to warm us up. There’s a great new track from Regina’s Library Voices, who recently released their Summer of Lust album (worth a listen!), as well as music from Toronto’s Modern Superstitions, Evening Hymns, and Lou Canon, who shares a very pretty and timely duet with Hayden.
We also go international to hear from boy-girl duos Slow Club (UK), and Mates of State (USA), who both gifted the world with brand new albums this fall, and The Knife (Sweden). This particular brother-sister duo can please your ears as easily as they defy description, so we close out this week with the first two tracks off their seminal 2006 disc Silent Shout.
Tune in and throw us a lifeline next week as we try to avoid drowning in a deluge of new music from artists like Bjork, Wilco, Dum Dum Girls, and Ohbijou (who play This Ain’t Hollywood tonight)!
