Hayden

It seems i always forget about Canadian indie rock/folk artist Hayden for a few years until he resurfaces with new music.  This has been going on for over 25 years now.  His songs are just as melancholy as ever, as evidenced by new track "East Coast."  The track was produced by The National's Aaron Dessner and is out now on Arts & Crafts.  Listen below.

Fucked Up - Voce Rubata

Canadian newspaper "The Globe and Mail" teamed up with The Canadian Opera Company and Canadian record label Arts & Crafts to put out a six song album of Canadian artists making music inspired by 2014 new events.  It is called "Broadsheet Music: A Year in Review," and Fucked Up contributed a 17-minute opera track called "Voce Rubata."  It is a legit opera song, and seems so left field for the punk band, that it almost feels perfect.  Listen below.

New Trust

One of the surprises of 2012 (and probably my favorite record of that year to boot) was Trust's "TRST," a beeping, booping, moody, electro-goth album that hit Depeche Mode in all the right places.  New album "Joyland" is due March 4th on Arts & Crafts, but you can listen to first single "Rescue, Mister" below.

Hayden

Here's a new song from Canadian indie-singer songwriter Hayden.  "Old Dreams" plays like a wistful, melancholy daydream.  The "Us Alone" LP is due in February from Arts & Crafts.
