We’re back in the business of brand new Canadian music this week as we explore some of the latest releases from north of the border. We’ve got the freshest tracks by Calpurnia, Cape Cartel, Danielle Duval, Dusted, Kandle, Mounties, Nap Eyes, Neko Case, No Aloha, Ponctuation, R U S T O W L, Scenic Route to Alaska, and Shy Kids! We’ll also be spinning some Hey Ocean! and Mother Mother as listener requests. Plus, we’ve got a special Levitation Austin preview lined up, with tracks by Elephant Stone, No Joy, and SUUNS. And, as always, we’ll bring you our Neil Young Song of the Week at 5 o’clock.

Join Justin the Canuck today at 4:30 PM for 90 minutes of the latest independent Canadian music, broadcasting on 91.7 FM in Austin and streaming live, worldwide, at KOOP.org!
