The third and finest album yet by Toronto artist Tamara Lindeman, recorded in France with Afie Jurvanen (Bahamas) and Robbie Lackritz (Feist), Loyalty crystallizes her lapidary songcraft into eleven emotionally charged vignettes and intimate portraits, redolent of fellow Canadians Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and David Wiffen, but utterly her own. A diaphanous eeriness and harmonic and rhythmic tension contributes to a pervading sense of clock-stopping bloom and smolder, recalling the spooky avant-soul of Terry Callier’s Occasional Rain.

She’s an extraordinary singer and instrumentalist—on Loyalty she plays guitar, banjo, and keys—but Lindeman has always been a songwriter’s songwriter, recognized for her intricate verse, filled with double meanings, ambiguities, and complex metaphors. Though more moving than ever, her writing here is almost clinical in its unflinchingly self-examining gaze and deliberate delivery, evoking similarly idiosyncratic songsters from Linda Perhacs to Bill Callahan. Lyrically, Loyalty inverts the language of confession, of regret, of our most private and muddled mental feelings, by externalizing those anxieties through exquisite observation of the things and people we accumulate, the modest meanings accreted during our most ostensibly mundane domestic moments. “Your trouble is like a lens,” she discerns in “I Mined,” “through which the whole world bends.”

+ The third and finest album yet by Toronto artist Tamara Lindeman, recorded with Afie Jurvanen (Bahamas) and Robbie Lackritz (Feist), Loyalty crystallizes her lapidary songcraft into eleven emotionally charged vignettes and intimate portraits, redolent of fellow Canadians Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and David Wiffen, as well as past collaborators Doug Paisley and Daniel Romano.
+ Available on 150g virgin vinyl as an LP, with heavy-duty matte jacket, full-color inner sleeve, and full lyrics, as well as on gatefold CD and digital formats.
+ Vinyl edition includes digital download coupon.

When it came time to record their debut full-length album, Alpenglow turned to musician and producer Sam Cohen (Yellowbirds, Apollo Sunshine) to help them stretch their sound into the psychedelic world. The band cites Cohen’s abilities to tweak tones and strip down beats as his biggest strengths: “He has a way of placing listeners’ feet on the ground with deep classic grooves while their heads float into space through swirling synth tones.” In addition, Cohen’s DIY spirit and engagement in all aspects of his own artistic production serve as encouragement for Alpenglow, who create all their own artwork and videos.
Part way through the recording process, Cohen’s first daughter, Jupiter, was born. Inspired by the cosmic theme and wanting to pay tribute to both Cohen and new life, Alpenglow titled the album Callisto, the name of one of Jupiter’s moons.

I Am Chemistry

The Sun Days - Don't Need To Be Them

Kedr Livanskiy is Russian for Lebanese Cedar.

Kedr on growing up in Russia and the influence that had on her music: 
"Of course the big problem was perpetual drunkenness—people would drink themselves to death. I was born on October 4, 1990. It was a very interesting but critical time for Russia—a time of great change. The Soviet Union was no more, and old values were anathematized because of the reconstruction.

In my early teens no one seemed to understand me in this world (I thought), so I read Washington Irving novels and listened to The Cure. At around 20 years old I felt a real need to find myself, so I entered the directing department of the Moscow School of New Cinema. At the same time, electronic music fascinated me completely.

A small circle of my friends formed around a mutual interest in music. We always went to concerts together, of which were mostly international artists: Inga Copeland, DJ Spinn and DJ Rashad, Legowelt, Death Grips, Florian Kupfer, Dean Blunt, etc. It wasn’t long until we organized the community and DIY record label known as John’s Kingdom. It’s not only about music; it’s also a channel for art, videos and lifestyle. Now it’s the most alive and honest thing in Moscow.

My music is strongly inspired by Autechre, Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada, but with the lyrics and mood of Mazzy Star. I admire contemporaries Inga Copeland and Laurel Halo, however, my songs are more pop-leaning because of the powerful influence MTV had on my adolescence."

Tancred - Sell My Head

The lead single from the album 'Fall Forever', released June 3rd on Kanine Records.

UK Pre-order: https://www.musicglue.com/fearofmen/
US Pre-order: https://www.kaninerecords.com/product/fear-of-men-fall-forever

Brighton's Fear of Men return on June 3rd with their second full-length album, Fall Forever, via Kanine Records worldwide. Building upon the melodicism and immediacy of their acclaimed debut album, Loom, Fall Forever takes the three-piece - comprised of Jessica Weiss, Daniel Falvey and Michael Miles - in a bold and modern direction, pushing the limits of their instruments to take on new and alien forms.

The news of Fall Forever comes accompanied by the album's first single 'Island': both a perfect stepping stone between Loom and the beguiling new sounds explored on their upcoming album, and a perfect encapsulation of the lyrical themes Weiss navigates across the record as a whole. She describes 'Island' as "an anthem to independence".

Lyrics:
I won’t tell you
Cause I don’t need to
You say I’m a dreamer, yah
Yah, you call me a dreamer, yah

You smile when you say that
the karma will come back
You make a believer, yah
You make me a believer

Wild like the ancient summers
When we tried to chase the thunder
We are, we are, we are...

With the wheels to the road, we won’t let it go
We’re riding this fire till we’re seeing smoke
And we’re ok, ok now
Stop, but don’t stop, always on the run
We smile at our scars cause they make us strong
And we’re ok, ok now

The patterns that you made
The colors, that won’t fade
Tell me you remember, yah
The sound of our December

With her eyes red like rubies
She feels like the movies
You tell me that you’re dreaming, yah
Well tell me what you’re seeing, yah

With the wheels to the road, we won’t let it go
We’re riding this fire till we’re seeing smoke
And we’re ok, ok now
Stop, but don’t stop, always on the run
We smile at our scars cause they make us strong
And we’re ok, ok now

We are the dreamers
We are the dreamers

With the wheels to the road, we won’t let it go
We’re riding this fire till we’re seeing smoke
And we’re ok, ok now
Stop, but don’t stop, always on the run
We smile at our scars cause they make us strong
And we’re ok, ok now
We are the dreamers
We are the dreamers
