Three moody, intense releases that defined my week.
Hidden in the corners of Ottawa are passionate and talented musicians and crowds, and it doesn’t take much digging to find great music.
Lissie, a rather unknown American indie-folk singer-songwriter, released her third album, My Wild West on Feb. 12. Unfortunately, with this lackluster release her name will likely remain unknown.
The Vancouver natives released this 10-track album riddled with infectious beats, reverberating guitar, and dark lyrical undertones. The album tells the story of a band’s slowly growing recognition, and the intoxicating pleasures and troubles that come with it.
Luckily for Innes, Yukon Blonde will soon be returning to one of their favourite cities in the country with Hey Rosetta!, another well-known Canadian indie act. The two bands will be performing at the National Arts Centre (NAC) on Nov. 22.
Ranging in tone from straight horror to the intentionally campy, the movies didn’t shy away from cringe-inducing violence, graphic nudity, experimental plots, and outright bizarre content.
