If you ever had to imagine what sort of video could provide the antithesis to Radiohead’s “Just” from their 1995 album The Bends, it might be Postdata’s “Black Cloud.” Rather than having the protagonist collapse in the street under the weight of some terrible secret, we’re presented with Beatrice, who had shed the oppressions of society to dance wherever she can.

Music Video: Devarrow Ponders the Uncertain Path Through Life With ‘Heart Attack’
Devarrow makes a return with an alt-folk song riddled with anxiety and a video to match. It’s the visual equivalent of ASMR, Spannungsbögen but without any of the enjoyment, a long, drawn out compilation of beautiful, but nerve-wracking moments.

They’ve just released “Long Trip,” a gentle aching of a year-old scar, massaged by guitar. Continue reading Music Video: Newfoundland Supergroup John Tease ‘Long Trip’ Ahead of Album Release
New Music: Jamie Comeau & The Crooked Teeth Finally Release Self-Titled Debut Album
If you’ve been living in Atlantic Canada over the last couple years, there’s little need to mention Jamie Comeau & The Crooked Teeth to you. This band has been blowing up. They’ve knocked it out at show after show, festival after festival, and their debut self-titled album has easily been one of the East Coast’s most anticipated of the last two years.
So, given that you’ve probably already heard them perform these songs at least half a dozen times, we are, more or less, simply here to inform you that they are now available, glorious and resplendent, in a digital format.
