“Home” by Hannah Georgas

Swaying along to this dreamy new pop song from Hannah Georgas this morning!

“Home” is the latest of a handful of singles that have been released, as we creep closer to the launch date for Hannah’s new album I’d Be Lying If I Said I Didn’t Care, due out August 25th.

Of the song she says: “"I feel like the word home is really emotionally loaded and can mean so many different things to different people. This song is about dealing with feelings of being lost and unsettled, and comparing that to others who seem to have it figured out. It’s about a feeling of estrangement and exclusion, only made even more polarizing when you’re confronted with the opposite experience amongst your peers or in the media.”

Hannah also announced dates for Western Canada, and she will be performing at the Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver on December 7th.

“It Might Just Rain Like This For Days” by The Fugitives

Vancouver folk group The Fugitives are gearing up to release their sixth album in a couple months, with an eye to the current climate crisis.

The latest single, “It Might Just Rain Like This For Days” exemplifies the themes of the album, with singer Adrian Glynn explaining:
“We’ve decided to engage the immediacy of the climate crisis with music and lyrics that are personal, earnest, and unafraid of playfulness. Amidst our research, a side effect of our grief was a connectivity to others. As such, the album is not an overt call to political action, but an exploration of the joyful motivations behind standing up for the world, and a celebration of the wit, care, and resolve humans can display under even the most devastating circumstances. It acknowledges there's no help coming, it's only us, and that that just might be good — because one thing humans can excel at is forming and gaining strength from community.’”

The duo of Adrian Glynn and Brendan McLeod are joined by Chris Suen and Carly Frey for No Help Coming, which is out Oct. 20, on Fallen Tree Records.

“Somebody Just Like Me” by Bahamas

Bahamas is looking very Ken-like in this new video for his latest release “Somebody Just Like Me” (I’m also obsessed with the Garth Brooks t-shirt he has as well!).

If you missed it, Bahamas has decided to release a country album, titled Bootcut, which is still very close to his signature sound, but with a little more twang.

He will be performing on the Sunday afternoon of the Ambleside Music Festival in Vancouver - not sure if it will be a full Bootcut style set, or a mix of everything (my hope).
