I have a confession to make. I've been hiding something for years now and its time to finally come out and tell the world. I DON'T GET HAWKSLEY WORKMAN! I have tried and tried to understand and appreciate his songwriting as well as his producing efforts, but I just don't get it. Does this mean I am an enemy to Canadian music? 'Cause I have yet to find someone who shares my feeling toward his ...

That's the Spirit's Staying Places has been on my computer since sometime around the end of last year, maybe early this year. Since then, whenever that was, I've put the record on roughly once a month and every time I've said to myself, hmph (or something like that) this is a pretty good record, and then I've gone about the rest of my morning/afternoon/evening. So, when I put it on the other ...

He decided to ask a few guys that were the Canadian music scene a decad...

At first listen, Stacey Be’s jazzy smooth vocals remind me of a combination of Esthero and Reverie Sound Review. However, combined with Mason Bach’s groovy and laid back
