Hi, this is Tiana from Ride the Tempo here to bring you another edition of PRESENT BOX FROM CANADA, a collection of at least 10 Canadian tracks that you may not have heard otherwise. Here we go!
Lakefield
Lakefield is an indie-power pop band from Vancouver, BC. If you’re a Stars fan you’ll probably dig them too. Their music is filled with the same tender moments brought to you by sweet vocals. BANDCAMP
Lakefield – “Old Hearts”
Arabesque
This dude is one of my favorite new hip-hop discovery. His music has exotic flare especially this track from his most recent album Nuclear Ambition. OFFICIAL WEBSITE | MYSPACE
Arabesque – “Caravan Of Love”
Milks and Rectangles
Milks and Rectangles are from the tiny Canadian island called Prince Edwards Island. Their music is a mix of fantasy and the dream world and reality. Their EP “Dirty Gold” is up for free download on their BANDCAMP.
Milks and Rectangles - “Ultimatum”
Milks and Rectangles – “Hollow Earth Society”
Milks and Rectangles – “Auction Block”
Wintersleep
Anybody who comes across Wintersleep, seems to fall in love with them, the most recent being Confusion over at Pigeons and Planes. The Nova Scotia band is one of the most sought after shows in Atlantic Canada. They are sort of like a cooler and much edgier version of Interpol. OFFICIAL WEBSITE | MYSPACE
Wintersleep - “Encyclopedia”
Wintersleep – “Black Camera”
Wintersleep – “Echolocation”
Sister
The duo known as sister is not new to the music scene. They were in a band you all know as Plumtree which was featured in the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. The sound here however is a more refined sound, less rough than Plumtree. And yes, they are real life sisters!
Sister - “Wishbone”
Sister – “Orion”
Sister – “Feather on the Ocean Floor”
