December 10 street date. Bria is an intimate and incisive labour of love from multi-instrumentalists Bria Salmena and Duncan Hay Jennings, who have toured for years as members of Toronto four-piece FRIGS, whose 2018 debut "Basic Behaviour" was long-listed for the Polaris Music Prize. Making a mark in diverse genres from country to punk, both play as permanent members of Orville Peck’s band. Catapulted by a deep sense of dread and confusion in the depths of 2020, Salmena decided to forgo writing her own music. "I wanted to listen for what might reflect my life back to me", she says, "six tracks that could be my mirror". The result is a pointillistic knockout of an EP that weaves a landscape both luscious and a little rogue; showing us exactly what good songs can do. "Cuntry Covers Vol. 1" houses it all: well-worn favourites and lesser-known gems from Karen Dalton, John Cale, Waylon Jennings, The Walker Brothers, Lucinda Williams, and Mistress Mary. First vinyl pressing is on opaque light blue vinyl.

August 18 street date. The definition of melancholia is a mental condition and especially a manic-depressive condition characterized by extreme depression, which was the perfect title for the fourth full length album from instrumental mathrock band, Save Us From The Archon. The record was inspired by Guitarist Andrew Cresto’s personal struggle with depression, but instead of it being a negative, the end result is a “love letter to depression”. Every detail was well thought out and every note, lick, slide and grove that you’ll hear is preciously where Cresto envisioned it when writing the new songs. The track listing itself is included as the titles put together create phrases that perfectly convey the recurring theme of depression, ‘All I want is sleep within walls thread between trancing nostalgia. All I want is light of forgiveness until we unfold to find clarity lost in a reverie. All I want is endless.’ Musically, the growth Save Us From The Archon has made since their last release is evident, however they continue with the melodic guitars, intense drum patterns and strong bass lines that fans fell in love with. Listeners will experience the emotion behind each song and that’s exactly what the band strove for during the creation of this album.

Opening with the brilliant "All Around You (Intro)", a tongue-in-cheek guide to the mind-altering journey ahead, the record is a kaleidoscopic, drug-fueled freakout - like the Stones' namesake album, 'Second Request' is painted by Eastern drones and psychedelic tangents, each track bubbling with dozens of sound effects including sitars, mellotrons, farfisas, didgeridoos, tablas, congas, and glockenspiels.

Available now. "Forget the nutty name that sounds like it should be the monicker of a hardcore band, Brian Jonestown Massacre play brilliant 60’s inspired psychedlic pop. Their influences run the gamut of ‘60s beat: The Rolling Stones, The Animals, The Small Faces, The Kinks, and The Byrds. BJM has managed to make retro pop sound contemporary in the Zombies and Kinks-like 'Jennifer' and the Animals influenced tracks 'Got My Eyes On You' and 'Nothing To Lose'. 'Love' sounds like it could have been a shoegazing classic. Many American bands mining the ‘60s for influences leave out the vital component, R&B, that gave ‘60s bands their great resonance - BJM doesn’t. This record’s got soul and sounds like a sure-fire bet for a spot on the end-of-year best lists." - Popmatters 8/10
