📹 Men I Trust – ‘Lucky Sue’

If you’re not familiar with Montreal indie-pop outfit Men I Trust, you must’ve been living under a rock the last few years. Back in early October, the band dropped a brand new song on the masses, Lucky Sue, and we’ve had it on repeat all month long. Now, we have a video for said song, and we’re excited to share it with you. Once again, Emmanuelle Proulx and company have outdone themselves.

📹 LAL – ‘Turn Water Into Blood’

Posted on by

LAL is the moniker of Toronto’s Rosina Kazi and Nicholas Murray. Just recently, the experimental-electronic duo shared the second single off their upcoming long-player, Meteors Could Come Down. We can’t seem to get enough of this one here at The IM, so now it’s time to share it with you.

“For years, we have been creating and supporting our community of dark magical beings and in turn we also have been supported spiritually and emotionally,” says Kazi. “We are auspicious: those of us who are dismissed and/or feared. The way we try to survive and have survived is through our chosen family. ‘Turn Water into Blood’ is the most rhythmic song on this album and it celebrates the world we have created together.”

Check out the video for Turn Water Into Blood in the embed below, and be sure to hit up their socials for more leading up to the release. The new album drops November 6th via Coax Records.

📹 TBT: Junior Boys – ‘In The Morning’ (2006)

Posted on by

Let’s take a trip down memory lane today with Canadian indie-electronic legends, Junior Boys. Their track, In The Morning, was such a big deal for us back in the mid-2000s, it was included on one of our very first mixtapes. These mixtapes shaped the sound of The iM over the years and so did the duo from Hamilton.

Take a look at the video for the song in the embed below and be sure to hit up their socials to show your support. Who knows, maybe one day, we’ll see another Junior Boys album. One can hope, anyway.

🎧 Michael Scott Dawson – ‘All The Things This Isn’t’

Posted on by

To say that we were big fans on Regina indie-pop outfit Library Voices back in the day, would be a serious understatement. We haven’t heard much from the band in recent years but what we do have is a new record coming out from one of the members, Michael Scott Dawson. This is a completely different direction musically and we like what we hear. Now, it’s time to share it with you.

“In late 2017 Dawson suffered an unexpected bout of vertigo. For the better part of 18 months the thought of working on music felt impossible. Some days just the thought of listening to music felt impossible. As the symptoms started to recede, he rediscovered a love for close listening. Before long he had set up a makeshift studio at home and started work on what would become Nowhere, Middle of. Reflecting on the project, Dawson states “I knew I wanted to rely as much on scotch tape as a computer.”

Check out the first single All The Things This Isn’t in the embed below and be sure to hit up his socials for more leading up to the release. The new album, Nowhere, Middle Of drops October 16th via We Are Busy Bodies.

🎧 Speaker Face – ‘Phosphorescence’

Posted on by

It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from Toronto by way of Vancouver indie-electronic outfit Speaker Face. Good news for us… the wait is over. The 3-piece is back with a groovy new track and we couldn’t wait to share it with you.

“Phosphorescence is a thank you letter to those who were here long before us, specifically the Coast Salish, and the early 1900s Japanese settlers, who were interned during WWII.”
