The new(ish) EP from singer-songwriter and musician Julianna Riolino came up on our radar today, and we’re certainly glad it did. The 6-song effort was recorded a few years back, but only a few tracks were released … until now. If you’re looking for a collection of beautifully crafted pop-songs, look no further.

It’s been a minute since we’ve written about Montreal-based singer-songwriter Owen Davies. Recently, he released a brand new EP on the masses, and we want you to know about it. The record (for the most part) was recorded in a farmhouse in Seaview, PEI, earlier this year. It’s a melodic, laid-back affair that we can’t get seem to get enough of. Now, it’s time to share it with you.
