Well the album is officially out today and you can get it at iTunes or your favorite record shop. Or if you feel like giving New Wild Everywhere a listen first, head over to exclaim.ca! to stream the full album. Enjoy!

Introducing: Cold Specks

On my drive home to Lethbridge recently listening to trusty CBC Radio 3 I heard this incredible song coming through the speakers of my car. I was blown away, and not just because of the Lethbridge winds. The song was "Holland" by Cold Specks. Cold Speck is lead by Al Spx from Etobicoke, Ontario however currently based in London, UK. And although she is new to me and probably many Canadians, she is already well known and respected in the UK. 

Cold Speck's album I Predict A Graceful Expulsion is due out May 21 of this year, but you can listen to "Holland" right here and download it via Soundcloud. In addition to the new album she is returning to Canada for a tour this summer with Great Lake Swimmers, including dates in Lethbridge and Calgary. Here is the album artwork, tracklist, and tour dates.

Great Lake Swimmers - New Wild Everywhere

The Great Lake Swimmers are incredibly talented band hailing from Toronto, Ontario that I have enjoyed seeing on multiple occasions. GLS's have completed their fifth studio album New Wild Everywhere that will be released April 3rd. It will have been over three years when the new album is released since their Polaris Prize short listed album Lost Channels. I'm making a bold prediction that this album could be a contender come the end of the year. What you have below is a clip of the creative process behind making the new album as well as the first single "Easy Come Easy Go".
