On the title track to his new album, Tenderness, T. Thomason centres the emotions that shape this collection as a whole: fear, courage and resolve. Amid change, about which T. writes in exquisite and intimate detail, what remains the same is that love and trust must light the way. A song that first name checks, and then features, indie rockers Stars, “Tenderness” is the culmination of the album’s major revelations and sonic tendrils in soaring chamber pop form.

In “The Sound of Christmas,” William Prince puts an ingenious twist on classic themes, celebrating the role that music and the real-life sounds of Christmas – laughter, clinking of glassware, skates carving ice, bells carrying through the air – play in our memories and festivities.

For his debut solo album, Peter Dreams trades known quantities for new possibilities, opening a gateway to an alternate sonic reality. The sound of Peter Dreams (solo moniker of Peter Dreimanis from July Talk), in collaboration with MOONRIIVR, is post punk psychic cold plunge that recasts one of the most instantly recognizable voices in alternative rock.

Thomason continues to preview forthcoming album, Tenderness, with “Boyfriend,” a new song out today. In this gender bent pop rock banger, T. Thomason adds his own undeniable strut to the denim and leather swagger. With its classic rock rolodex and sonic callback, “Boyfriend” is a playful yet purposeful flipping of gender scripts.

Elliott Brood release their new cover of the classic Ghostbusters theme song, out now. This playful take on the 1984 hit brings their signature roots-rock energy to Ray Parker Jr.’s iconic anthem making it the perfect track to kick off the Halloween season.

Whitehorse releases their rendition of the iconic song “Sweet Surrender,” available now. The cover, which dropped on September 27, 2024, is a heartfelt tribute to Sarah McLachlan’s enduring influence on music.

With the off-kilter velocity of a tilt-a-whirl, a new song by Peter Dreams calls out the blurry line between pride and insecurity. In “Come Save Me,” out today, Peter Dreams joins backing band MOONRIIVR to send their 3-minute ride spinning this way and that, with jolts of farfisa and sax making a sideways Stereolab-meets-Nick Cave swirl.
