War Baby, JOYFULTALK, Psychic Pollution, & Ways Lain


War Baby - You Are Not Here 

These Vancouver veterans are back with another ripper of an album with the release of You Are Not Here. War Baby has a huge sound that is aided by the use of extensive back up vocals and sludgy guitars; and it takes you back to the golden days of alternative and grunge.  


JOYFULTALK - A Separation Of Being

Joe Crocker is a composer from Crousetown, Nova-Scotia and A Separation Of Being is the third album released under the moniker JOYFULTALK. His unique combination of self-made instruments and string arrangements are taken to the next level by complex yet gripping rhythms. 


Psychic Pollution - Digital Apathy

Digital Apathy serves as a figurative “up yours” to all those gatekeeping, analog-synthesizer purists out there. This album delivers nearly an hour worth of dark and digital dance music that sucks you down into an alternate reality that you don’t want to leave. 


Ways Lain - “Anyways” 

This track by Ways Lain is one that takes you by the hand and leads you through fragmented moments and memories. It is disjoined but beautiful in the way piano and cello act like the motor for a stream of consciousness as it unfolds.
