Elliott BROOD are set to mark the band’s ten year anniversary with a tour of Western Canada and vinyl re-issue of their debut recording Tin Type on Paper Bag Records.  Tin Type will be remastered on vinyl featuring three bonus tracks. The original EP quickly became a critical success due to popularity of the songs “Oh Alberta” and “Cadillac Dust”.

AUSTRA PREMIERE NEW SINGLE ‘PAINFUL LIKE’!

Following the release of lead single ‘Home,’ we are excited to share the new single ‘Painful Like’ from Austra’s forthcoming album Olympia out June 18 in Canada on Paper Bag Records.

“‘Painful Like’ makes organic bedfellows of Austra’s signature, shadowy goth and minimal Detroit techno’s subtle bubbling synth. Mix in the charisma of Katie’s operatic vocals and some gorgeously ethereal background chorus harmonies from the band’s resident sirens, and you have a second strong reason to be excited for Olympia” - Stereogum

Listen to ‘Painful Like’ below.

Sally Shapiro’s new video for ‘If It Doesn’t Rain’ premiered on Idolator off the new album Somewhere Else. Director Iris Beatrix compiled footage of a Czech cartoon from 1953 to go along with the poppy sounds of the track. Watch below!

We are mere weeks away from the release of Ultramarine and now Young Galaxy has brought you the third single off the album. Gorilla vs. Bear premiered ‘New Summer‘ saying it has “… a flawless, uplifting, universal chorus that makes ‘New Summer‘ one of our favorite things they’ve ever done.”

Pitchfork says, “Catherine McCandless’ aching voice evokes a restless feeling of anomie for the young and beautiful, imparting misty snippets of melodrama with a convicted focus…”

Today Dummy premiered the Doldrums remix of the track saying, “Doldrums flips the light-voiced original into a gritty, gear-grinding electro track, adding some thundering breaks and two actual ‘drops’. It sounds like a fax machine on its last legs, in the best way possible.”

‘New Summer’ is now available on iTunes worldwide, including the Doldrums remix. Purchase the single here and listen to the track below.

Ultramarine is now available for pre-order on CD and limited edition 180 gram white vinyl (w/ CD included). As a special bonus, all pre-orders will be signed by the band! Don’t miss out on the Ultramarine CD and vinyl bundles that come with a limited edition Ultramarine t-shirt.
