This time next week I'll be in France, pouring over my festival guide debating what bands to see at the 37th Rencontres Trans Musicales De Rennes.

Running from December 2nd to 6th, the festival covers so many genres across the many venues that I'll be able to find a little bit of everything.

I dove into the very large artist list and picked out a few of my favourites and bands I didn't want to miss, and compiled them into this week's playlist (below). France, Brazil, Greece, South Korea, Netherlands, United States, and even Madagascar are all covered country-wise in the compilation, and of course Vancouver's own Dralms, the sole Canadian of the bunch.

Take a listen, discover something new, and have a little ROMO about not being there with me. Stay tuned this week for updates!
