YOUNG GALAXY

Apparently, we can’t seem to get enough of music from Montreal today. Maybe it’s because Canadian record label Arts & Crafts is just one big happy family (home to Feist, Broken Social Scene, Jason Collett) that makes sweet, sweet music that we simply can’t get enough of. Ex-Stars touring guitarist Stephen Ramsey and Catherine McCandless of Young Galaxy just released their self-titled debut this month with collaborations with The Dears and Stars.



This video is a video of hope! Soon you will be chanting… “Outside the city I see, I see I’m inside out…” Over and over and over again. It made us realize we need a vacation.

Going Places

Montreal’s Montag is back with a new album, Going Places (Carpack Records) set for release on June 5^th! This time around he’s once again enlisted a great group of collaborators such as, Anthony Gonzales of M83, the ladies of Au Revoir Simone, Amy Millan of Stars, just to name a few.

PLUS, there is a duet with Owen Pallet of Final Fantasy (we LOVE Final Fantasy) called, “Softness, I Forgot Your Name.” AMAZING! Dreamy electro-pop to start your summer right! The music makes us want to frolic in an open field filled with flowers…or something like that.

Check out Stereogum for a download of the track, “Best Boy Electric.”
