Tristen - Glass Jar

I don’t have to say goodbye
You don’t get to see me cry
You put me in a glass jar and tap, tap, tap to see how I move

I saw Tristen a while back at SXSW at was intrigued. "Eager For Your Love", an engaging and beautiful song off her 2011 album Charlatans At the Garden Gate, quickly worked its way into my heavy rotation and I became a fan. "Glass Jar", her latest, featuring Jenny Lewis, is a song in the same vein. It's engaging, beautiful and perfect for a Sunday morning.

Alvvays - Adult Diversion

If I should fall
Act as though it never happened
I will retreat
And sit inside so very quietly

When I first heard Toronto-based Alvvays, it was their dreamy, shoegaze cut "Archie, Marry Me", and I quite liked it. Three years later I still listen to their self-titled debut album fairly often as it fills a slot in my rotation. A jangly, dreamy, happy spot. Cleary I don't get enough of that. Ha. Here's to hoping for some new stuff from them at some point.

Upcoming Shows

Monogrenade - Ce soir

Ce soir j'te fait danser
J'te jure j'te fait danser
J'tai pas oublié
C'est juste que ça me hante
Que tu me vois étrange
Qu'un jour on se réveille

I've been wanting to share this wonderful song from Montreal's Monogranade for awhile now. They do have an English version of the song, "We Will Be Free" but even though I can't understand a lick of it, I like the original French. Most of their other music has a similar atmospheric and sophisticated feel that's really chill.

The stop-motion video for "Ce soir" is also excellent. Check it out:
