Vancouver in winter can be a cold, grey place. But the past couple of days have been rather pleasant.
Today I want to share NEW PURITY RING!
The Edmonton dark pop group will have a new record out on March 3rd.
Go with yourself.

I was walking around Edmonton’s Blackbyrd Record store on Whyte the week Purity Ring‘s record Shrines came out. The clerk was playing it and I liked hearing the album while shopping. I wanted to get the record then, but they hadn’t received stock. Back home in Victoria, I finally made it down to Ditch for my latest album.
Beautiful sounding and looking record. Its a blue-ish marble vinyl with songs that I think are basically about lead singer Megan James’ vagina? Sure.
Lots of good stuff available on the internet as a free download, if your record player is in the shop, download this jam, the latest single “Fineshrine.”

Frightened Rabbit continues to be one of my favourite bands. The Scottish emotive types have a new ep in September called State Hospital. 4 songs and a single called… “State Hospital.”
Such a sad song and the video is hard to watch.

Love the single, love the artwork…do I dare pre-order the ep?
Happy Monday!

If you are heading to the Sasquatch music festival in may… you are one lucky duck. The list of bands and artists taking part is once again pretty strong.
My wife Coral will be heading to the festival so I was trolling the website looking at the bands to see which ones I should try and implore her to check out. I saw that a band that Coral really loves, Electric Guest is playing. How fun! (oh and fun.)
Electric Guest – “This Head I Hold”

Must be a lot of the right hype behind this LA band as they have maybe 3 songs for download on iTunes? And another you get for free if you give them an email address.
Coral jams out a lot of Alt Nation on XM and they often get insight into the next pet-project of the Industrial Record Complex. Regardless… super fun and catchy jam.
Poking around some more, and I heard the Canadian dark electro pop band Purity Ring. One half of the band (Megan James) is from Edmonton and now lives in Halifax. The other half (Corin Roddick) lives in Montreal.
Have a listen to this.

I was reading the interview they had with Pitchfork. I love how the interviewer was all, “you music is so deep and dark…” and Corin just basically says, “yeah I listen to a lot of Soulja Boy.”

I lifted this picture from the Frightened Rabbit twitter feed. It seems the Scottish lads are recording some new tunes. More than that, I just think the picture looks cool.
This is my amp. I am still learning how it goes and what makes it work. For being so small… it wails pretty good.
Go with yourself.
