Songs of the Week: December 04 - 10, 2023
“Bluebird Wine” by Elliott BROOD
Hot on the heels of their last album Town, Elliott BROOD have announced that the partner album Country will be released next year.
To go along with that announcement, they’ released the first single from the record, a BROODified cover of Rodney Crowell’s song “Bluebird Wine”.
The band is touring in Ontario and then Europe in the new year, and hopefully when they album is out, they’ll make their way back out west, as that last show was awesome.

“The Wolf” by KROY
You may know Camille Poliquin, as one half of the JUNO Award-winning duo Milk & Bone, but recently she’s been releasing new music under the name KROY.
“The Wolf” is the second single she’s dropped this year, a haunting and ominous track that spotlights her vocals over a soft guitar, about “a frightening, all-consuming love that you can’t live without”
Have a listen below, and hopefully we’ll be hearing more soon!

“10,000 Suns” by MOONRIIVR
I let you know last month that there was a new super-group on the scene, called MOONRIIVR, and they’re becoming a new favourite of mine.
Their album, simply titled Vol. 1, is out, and they’ve released a new video for the track “10,000 Suns”. It’s a super sweet, simple and slow tune about “the weight of the past”.
Vocalist Gavin Gardiner (whom you might recognize from The Wooden Sky) says it’s about: “how one can be crushed by shame, anger and regret. I’m not searching for answers within the song, but simply living in the present and looking towards love & forgiveness”.
