We’re all over the place this week—hop in and let’s go for a ride from genre to genre! Pop, pop-punk, acoustic folk, something bordering on metal, electronic, psych, something disco-esque… even Grimes, who’s basically a genre unto herself at this point. Everything is brand new by Adrian Mars, Basement Revolver, Dante Matas, Dear Rouge, Ducks Ltd., Envy of None, The Fake Friends, Jackie, Johnny Payne, Jordan Klassen, Kingfisher, Leif Vollebekk, Makk Mikkael, NOBRO, Sauna, Seven Nines and Tens, Shred Kelly, SUGARFUNGUS, Tennyson King, and Tess Parks!

I recently re-discovered Hotel Mira‘s 2020 album Perfectionism and only now realized how incredibly well-written it is—and I now have an incredible sense of regret that I’ve only played two tracks from it since its release. We’ll correct that this week, plus we’ll spin some Neil Young, who recently took a stand against Spotify and its peddling of vaccine misinformation. Bold move, Neil.

In addition, it’s almost wall-to-wall new releases by artists including Altameda, Bent Roads Tavern, Crystal Eyes, Darling Congress, GRAE, Hollow Graves, Hot Panda, Ivy Gardens, Léonie Gray, Lizzy & The Fanatics, Matt MacNeil, OMBIIGIZI, Partner, PUP, Ryan Bourne, Said the Whale, Sam Jr., Sham Family, Skinny Dyck, and Trevor Howlett!
