Some days are rainy, too, so we’ve got a bit more of a low-key episode this week in advance of our two-hour Canada Day special next week (featuring 30 tracks by some of your favourite Canadian indie artists).
After being haunted by ‘Hunted By A Freak’ for months, Mike finally presses play on some classic Mogwai, followed up with new Chad VanGaalen, who will be playing some festivals this summer in support of his new disc, Diaper Island.
We also hear more from the latest releases by Bon Iver, The Antlers, and Gomez, as well as a (possible?) Radiohead cover of a Portishead tune. The internet throws around a lot of impossible sounding fakery, but that track does sound suspiciously like Thom Yorke in a live setting, no?
And before we get to a couple of tracks off this hard-to-miss album by Cults, we hear from The Dodos, who were in Toronto last week for NXNE, and the Polaris long-listed Miracle Fortress.
Yes, the Polaris nominations are out, and we’re happy to see so many of the artists that we listen to on that illustrious list of the best artistic accomplishments in Canadian music. You’ll be sure to hear plenty of samples of their music next week on our Canada Day show, featuring tracks by Luke Doucet, Jenn Grant, Little Scream, Sloan, and many, many more!
