“Dark Times” by Jason Collett

Not counting last year’s Best Of collection, it’s been six long years since we last got an album from Jason Collett, but that’s about to change.

“Dark Times” — the first single off his upcoming album Head Full Of Wonder — is Collett at his best; jangly, folky guitars punctuated by his thought provoking lyrics, inspired by a famed Bertolt Brecht epigram:
”In the dark times
will there also be singing?
Yes, there will be singing
about the dark times.”

The new album is out November 4, on Arts & Crafts, and you can check out the first single below!

“Haystack Rock” by Limblifter

Limblifter is back! This is not a drill!
I was incredibly excited when I saw this land in my inbox the other day.

They’ve announced their fifth studio recording, Little Payne, will be released on October 31st and the first single is titled “Haystack Rock”.
In reading a little bit about the album, there was the promise of “mind-bending sax solos” - which if you know me, you know I’m stoked on this. Little Payne was built on a base of five years of jams made by songwriter, singer, guitarist Ryan Dahle, that he recorded while working on other artist’s albums.

Can’t wait to hear more!

“We Just Wanna Dance” by Blonde Diamond

We’ve already heard a couple previews off the upcoming debut full length album from Vancouver’s Blonde Diamond. Now we get yet another with a sultry, sweaty anthem, appropriately titled “We Just Wanna Dance”.

Magnetic Strangers is due out September 23, and the band promises a “menagerie of operatic, late-night indie rock, dive-bar R&B, charred disco, and wide-eyed electro-pop and plays host to a warring between choice, agency, reason, and compulsion.”

Have a listen for yourself below!
