Heaven For Real, Avalon Tassonyi, Jared Doherty, and lil omar


Heaven For Real - Sweet Rose Green Winter Desk Top Tell This Side Autumn Of The Fighter Hot In A Cool Way

This new album from Halifax-based band Heaven For Real is too long to name, but not long enough to satisfy your craving for their alternative blend of new wave, slacker rock, and experimental music. This six song album will leave you begging for more of their hazy vocals, wacky keys, and hard guitar riffs.


Avalon Tassonyi - Avalon Tassonyi

Ontario’s Avalon Tassonyi’s self-titled debut album is ten tracks of folk excellence. With undertones of alt-country, these songs take the catchy structure of pop music and place it in an analogue frame. It’s an album bursting with emotional lyrics, beautiful melodies, and a calming aesthetic.


Jared Doherty - Fly a Kite

From British Columbia’s Divine Bovine Records is Fly a Kite, eleven songs containing psychedelic indie rock greatness. Jared Doherty’s vocals, which range from lethargic melodies to an impressive falsetto, are accompanied by a dream pop take on jazz. This album is a delightful sound reminiscent of the trippy rock that blessed the last decade.


lil omar - Marlo EP

New Brunswick musician lil omar expresses coming of age through his five track Marlo EP, an instrumental treasure trove of minimalist beats, soft synthesizers, and a jazz like melody. It’s sort of like elevator music on DMT. Its interpretive sound and lack of vocals makes for easy listening for a wandering mind.
