“Honey Trap” by Kandle

If the first two singles are anything to go by, Kandle is going for a “Neo Noir James Bond” vibe for her new album, and I am all for it. “Honey Trap” is the latest single for the upcoming Set The Fire, and features some familiar voices like Louise Burns, Debra-Jean Creelman, and Kendel Carsen. A fierce song about “breaking free from a sticky power struggle”, it may not be a coincidence that the song comes out after Kandle leaving her label and releasing her first independent EP last year.
But hear for yourself, and check out the video — directed by Brandon William Fletcher — below!

“I Got Love” and “Stay Behind” by Mother Mother

Not content with one new song from Vancouver’s Mother Mother? How about TWO? Their first new releases since blowing up on Tik Tok (I know, right?), both songs encapsulate everything you love about the band; “I Got Love” being brash and infectious and “Stay Behind” more chill and melodic, with playful vocals and clever lyrics on both.
Have a listen to “I Got Love” below, or how about “Stay Behind” right here.

“Nightwaves” by Chad VanGaalen

I’m kinda sad this is just the song and not another gem of a music video from Chad VanGaalen but it’s still a great new track. “Nightwaves” is dreamy and odd - pretty much exactly what you’d expect from VanGaalen. Also completely on brand is the title of the new album that comes out on March 19th - World's Most Stressed Out Gardener. You gotta love it.

“4521.0kHz 6730.0kHz 4109.09kHz” by Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Okay, this one is less a “Song” of the Week and more an “Album Tease” of the Week.
A few days ago it was announced that the brand new Godspeed You! Black Emperor would be coming out April 2nd, but the band was very clear that “there will be no advance “singles” on SpotifApple or other streaming platforms. The record is not available for preorder on Amazon” so all we’re getting until then is the 60 second clip below. UNLESS you hit your local record store, which may be receiving an advance 10” and will be encouraged to share clips or play in-store. Find out more about that, or preorder the album G_d’s Pee AT STATE’S END! for yourself, right here.

“Pissed at the Disco” by Adnama

I know CBC Radio 3 isn’t anywhere near what it once was, but every once in a while I’ll be listening and still find a new gem. Case in point, a few years ago I Vancouver’s Adnama, whose EP Ghost Like Me made its way into my regular rotation.
Flash forward to the present, where Adnama has released a brand new song, “Pissed in the Disco”., a synthy pop tune that very much sounds like you would expect from the title. Hopefully it’s a hint of more to come.
