Best Albums Of 2019 - Honourable Mention

The Cups N Cakes Network grew exponentially in 2019. In past years, founder Jeff MacCallum had all the say in the “Best Of” lists but for the first time the entire team (fourteen strong) pitched in with their choices for all the “Best Of” coverage. This gave us a considerably larger list to sift through and due to this, we decided to create an “Honourable Mention” for albums that were left off the final list… much to the chagrin of some team members.


David Ivan Neil - What Is Love

Outsider folk with cunning perspective!


Stripmall - Surrounding Area

Punk fused with twang! Best new band in Canada!


Sandro Perri - Soft Landing

Canada’s most revered and respected music wizard!


Mauno - Really Well

We lost them but at least they gave us this first!


Rae Spoon - Mental Health

They continue to amaze on each new album!


Orville Peck - Pony

Queer country superstar… ‘bout time!


Yves Jarvis - The Same But By Different Means

Soft, subtle magic for a chill evening!


Haviah Mighty - 13th Floor

Dropping truths faster than mics!


At Mission Dolores - Last Night Outside Her Apartment

Melancholic-pop fused with cosmic-psychedelia!
