“Fixing The Again” by Kevin Drew

I’ve really enjoyed Kevin Drew’s latest album Aging, as it’s given me lots of early BSS nostalgia.

The latest video for the single “Fixing The Again”, is made up of “footage partially shot and directed by Drew, the video intercuts flashing vignettes of everyday life with brief scenes made up of a variety of characters. The video is bittersweet and reflective, capturing the true essence of the human experience.”

Drew also announced a run of solo, intimate shows in January, and while there’s no Vancouver date yet, we can cross our fingers we’ll get added to the run.

“Hollowed Out” by Ducks Ltd.

Toronto duo Ducks Ltd. have just announced their latest album, Harm’s Way, and given us a taste of what’s to come with a jangly new single, “Hollowed Out”.

Singer Tom McGreevy says: “There was a sinkhole that opened up on Dundas West a little while ago, in an area near to where I live. It shut down the road for a month. It had a strange resonance, partly because a lot of the streets in Toronto used to be rivers and streams running down to the lake that roads were then built over. It felt like an encroachment of nature into an urban environment–the river coming back to collapse a piece of civic infrastructure, and I built the song around the feeling that evoked.”

Harm's Way drops early next year, on February 9th via Royal Mountain Records!

“Make You Understand” by Chin Injeti ft. daysormay

This song slipped under my radar for a bit, but I’m glad I spotted it in my inbox!

What started as a chorus on TikTok by Chin Injeti, was then sampled by daysormay, and then finally turned into a new song from the artists.

I love when a collaboration is something organic and natural, and that’s exactly what this tune, “Make You Understand”, ended up being!
