Moon King

Calgary’s Sled Island Festival shared its initial lineup back in February and now the full lineup has been announced, featuring more than 100 additions. Those include Speedy Ortiz, Kaytranada, Julia Holter, The Besnard Lakes, ESG, Oneida, SubRosa, HEALTH, Land of Talk, Dead Cross, Valient Thorr and more. This year’s guest curator Peaches also selected some […]

Friday of M for Montreal is when it goes from being an industry-centric confab to a full-blown, multi-venue music festival. Things started, for me, with a closing cocktail at Montreal’s Phi Center that also featured a performance from Charlotte Cardin, a former contestant of Canada’s The Voice who is probably better known currently as a model…

Mr. Twin Sister wrapped up their tour with Toronto’s Moon King on Friday (7/25) with a homecoming show at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom. It was a full house and songs like “In the House of Yes,” “Rude Boy,” and “Out of the Dark” had the crowd dancing…

Youth Lagoon already announced a small NYC show for 9/21 at Rough Trade, which unsurprisingly sold out quickly, and now he announced several more tour dates including a much larger show h…

Moon King‘s new album, Secret Life, is out next week via Last Gang. The duo of Daniel Woodhead and Maddy Wilde have grown a lot, musically, since their last record and Secret Life is a much more nuanced work, with baroque and electronic elements woven into their dreampop sound…

Doldrums‘ new album, The Air Conditioned Nightmare, is out next week via Sub Pop. It’s a real step up for Airick Woodhead who this time out matches his kitchen sink approach to electronic music with a stronger sense of melody and more of a direct eye on the dancefloor…

Doldrums have shared a second song from his terrific new album, The Air Conditioned Nightmare, which is out April 7 via Sub Pop. Like first single “Hotfoot,” “My Friend Simjen” owes a little to ’90s electronica, and this one would probably sound right at home next to Underworld’s “Born Slippy…

Doldrums, aka Toronto’s Airick Woodhead, has signed with Sub Pop who will release his new album, The Air Conditioned Nightmare, on April 7…
