Joyful Joyful

I really probably should be doing some work right now, but instead i'm fishing around the web for new music, and currently finding myself somewhat hypnotized by the stylings of Toronto duo Joyful Joyful.  The band makes experimental music with flashes of ambience and electronic, but on new track "Marrow," strip almost everything away, creating a mesmerizing mix of acapella, field recordings, and occasional hums of synth.  Check it out below and pre-order the upcoming self-titled album here from Idee Fixe.

ROY

Here's some lo-fi, cosmic, hippy-dippy-trippy psych rock from Canadian collective ROY.  The upcoming "Peace Love and Outer Space" LP hits in April, but you can listen to the glorious "Is It You (Sky Brother)" below.  Do so, and pre-order the record here from Idee Fixe.

Absolutely Free and U.S. Girls

Here's a cool and synthy new psych-disco jam from Toronto outfit Absolutely Free featuring an assist from Meg Remy of U.S. Girls.  "Currency" is a poppy, dreamy, bouncy number that feels like an excellent start to the summer.  Watch the video below and pre-order the upcoming "Geneva Freeport" EP here from Idee Fixe.
