“Special” is the latest single off of Patina, the upcoming second album from Toronto’s Tallies, which is out on July 29 via Kanine Records/Hand Drawn Dracula/Bella Union.
And, as luck would have it, the band just happens to be playing a record release show at The Garrison on that very night. If you’re in Toronto then, you should check it out. If not, you can still watch the video for “Special” below.
The Utopia Strong, an English trio comprised of Kavus Torabi, Michael J. York, and former snooker player Steve Davis, just recently released their sophomore album International Treasure, an intriguing collection of proggy electronic sounds. Check out the video for their latest single “Castalia” below.
Today saw the release of the long list for this year’s Polaris Prize, which features, well, pretty much most of the Canadian records of note that came out in the year since the last Polaris (It is called a long list, after all) and while it’s hard to predict which albums will eventually make the short list, one longlist album I’m certainly pulling for is Luna Li’s Duality, an impressive debut album which came out in March of this year.
Check out the video for Luna Li’s “What You’re Thinking” below and check out the full long list here.
Exciting news today as New Zealand’s The Beths have announced the upcoming release of their third album Expert In A Dying Field, which is out on September 16 via Carpark Records.

Check out the video for lead single “Silence Is Golden” below.
