The Lacking Permanence

· detailsMr. Lif + Brass Menazeri • Resilient
Cross-cultural collaboration mixes up a Balkan frenzy with dope beats and MC’ing
· detailsLiima • 1982
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.
· detailsThe Pack AD • Dollhouse
Another stunning set of songs from these Vancouverites, full of fuzz and dynamics.

The Decline of Nations
This song by La Louma sure is a catchy anthem for us skeptics and cynics.
· detailsEscape-ism • Introduction to Escape-Ism
This is Ian Svenonius’ latest foray, a beatbox-backed recitation of lackadaisical poetry swimming in over-the-top soul delivery.

Ace Of Spades
I think Lemmy would have appreciated Canadian superbanjoplayer Lisa LeBlanc's fierce take on "Ace Of Spades".
· detailsLa Louma • Let The World Be Flooded Out
Intriguing set of well-crafted songs from this solo artist.
· detailsFever Ray • Plunge
Sparse and electronic, sometimes abrasive, this project from Swedish vocalist Karin Elisabeth Dreijer can be difficult and/or rewarding.
· detailsDiamante Eléctrico • Diamante Eléctrico
Rock latino, full-on-boogie, or as they say in their native Colombia, “bugi.”
