The Lacking Permanence

Cross-cultural collaboration mixes up a Balkan frenzy with dope beats and MC’ing

The title and a first listen make you think this is a retro thing, but it is more of a weird synthesis from a group of Scandinavian musicians.

Another stunning set of songs from these Vancouverites, full of fuzz and dynamics.

This song by La Louma sure is a catchy anthem for us skeptics and cynics.

This is Ian Svenonius’ latest foray, a beatbox-backed recitation of lackadaisical poetry swimming in over-the-top soul delivery.

I think Lemmy would have appreciated Canadian superbanjoplayer Lisa LeBlanc's fierce take on "Ace Of Spades".

Intriguing set of well-crafted songs from this solo artist.

Sparse and electronic, sometimes abrasive, this project from Swedish vocalist Karin Elisabeth Dreijer can be difficult and/or rewarding.

Rock latino, full-on-boogie, or as they say in their native Colombia, “bugi.”

Cleary, this is something that needs a song to explain, and Mo Kenney is up to the task.
