Art-rock trio We Are the City—a band we first played nearly 11 years ago—recently announced that their Vancouver-based project had “died of natural causes”. We’ll honor their 12-year run with their recent, final release, along with a solid helping of the latest Canadian releases. Pair it with a tasteful selection of tracks that we played on the show ten years ago this week, and you’ve got this week’s playlist!

We’ve got artists like Alex Little and The Suspicious Minds, Burry, Faunts, Land of Talk, The Matinee, Mav Karlo, Mise en Scene, Modern Superstitions, Redsayno, Reverie Sound Revue, Sixtoo, Sloan, Sophia Bel, Sunset Rubdown, Teen Ravine, Vox Rea, and Yukon Blonde.

Sandwiched between the Austin heat waves, we’ve felt some autumnal breezes on our still-short sleeved arms. Could this be the season of change we’ve been waiting for?

No idea. But, at least one band we’re playing today can feel the transition. We’ve got 15—count ’em!—new tracks for y’all this week, including some of the latest releases from north of the border and a ton of bands we’ve never played before. The roster this week includes The Beaches, Cœur de pirate, The Dirty Nil, Fuss, Good Kid, Huge Cosmic, Loose Fang, Meg Warren, New Design, Ocie Elliott, Purity Ring, Seaway, Terra Lightfoot, Terrorista, and The Zolas.
