“LOL Trash” by Fur Trade

Fur Trade is back!

It’s been quite a while since “Kids These Days” from Don’t Get Heavy (ten years in fact - 2013! I looked it up) and I was super excited to see the new song in my inbox.

The press released bills “LOL Trash” as “a soaring indie-sleaze glam rock track” which, I think pretty much sums up Fur Trade in general.
The video is also super fun, with some familiar Vancouverite faces, and the boys on a roof.
More please!

“Hiro Up From The Woodshop” by Wayfinding

About a year ago, Wayfinding debuted at the Calgary Folk Music Festival, and now they’re gearing up to release their debut EP.

Comprised of a lot of familiar faces — Cassia Hardy (Wares), Ryan Beattie (Chet and Himalayan Bear), Marek Tyler, and Matthew Cardinal (both from nêhiyawak) — the band released their latest single “Hiro Up From The Woodshop”, a haunting song that simmers with intensity.

Check out the lyric video below, and their self-titled EP will be out April 21 on Victory Pool Records!

“Gaagige” by Zoon

Zoon (Zoongide’ewin), is getting ready for the release of their sophomore album Bekka Ma'iingan with their gorgeous new single, “Gaagige”.

Songwriter Daniel Monkman says “I wrote the music for 'Gaagige' when I was going through a period in my life of questioning life and death. In my language, 'Gaagige' means forever. I started to obsess about the concept of 'forever.' When I was younger, that concept started to scare me because I really wanted death to be the final resting spot. Now, ten years later, I have a new relationship with death and this song is about me accepting and not worrying.”

Bekka Ma'iingan is out April 28 on Paper Bag Records, and you can check out the trippy visualizer for “Gaagige” below!
