still life still // burial suit

Toronto’s Still Life Still lead vocalist Brendan Saarinen explains it this way, “We wrote it in the dead of winter after a year of demoing and scrapping a lot of songs. It’s about breaking rituals and routines; how love can take you to strange, sometimes messed up places. When we finished recording it, there was a weird vibe in the air, like we had started fresh but knew we’d always been there.”

The first single “Burial Suit,” comes from the STS’s forthcoming LP Mourning Trance, which drops August 20 through Arts & Crafts.

After the jump check out the official tracklist and upcoming tour dates. Peace. Continue reading “still life still // burial suit”

the weeknd // twenty-eight (explicit = nsfw)

More like forty-days and forty-nights of something totally intoxicating.

The Weeknd is a crooner par excellence and his track (and video) are no exception. If you are a fan of Mr. Abel Tesfaye, well, the song “Twenty-Eight,” has everything you’ve come to expect from this Toronto native. It is soulful, sexy and ringed by vocals that will send shivers across her erogenous zones (hey, less work for you right?). By the way this video is a bit explicit so handle your business and show some discretion. Peace. Continue reading “the weeknd // twenty-eight (explicit = nsfw)”

The Zeds Dead Remix of Blue Foundation‘s “Eyes On Fire” is a sexy serpentine affair making you want to dance like Shiva and inhabit the personal space of the current apple of your eye. Yeah, this is a reach back in distant time and space, but you know like I do that good music persists and subsists minus an expiration date. After the jump I got a couple other tracks to round out this mini-listening party. Oh and for the ultimate Zeds Dead experience check out the duos Guest Remix for MistaJam. Peace.

Trust // Sulk

Yesterday (February 28th) Maya Postepski and Robert Alfons the Toronto-based duo Trust dropped their 2012 full length debut TRST. And so I thought you may like a listen. I mean, I could be so wrong because you may not like robust and darkly groovy musical fare that’ll make you move something otherwise used for sitting on. Oh, I am such the mischievous music reviewer aren’t I? Don’t answer that. You can purchase TRST on iTunes or Amazon. Peace. Continue reading “Trust // Sulk”
