15. GET A LITTLE DARK
Chasing Tales (And a Few Other Things) is a tender freak-folk dance of early love
and passion from the Vancouver-based duo Logan and Nathan. The couple's music meets
at the confluence of Nathan Turner's west coast salt-water swagger and Logan
Thackray's wild Rocky Mountain meltwater. Guitar and banjo duel, vocals are shared
and swapped and lyrics are filled with intimacy, longing and self-doubt. Logan's
voice is unique. It floats airily along, pulling you up into the clouds to survey
their evocative lyrical landscapes. Nathan's voice is the perfect counter. With
initial strength, it trembles over the uncontrollable goosebumps erupting through
the couple's energy. Accompanied at times by drums, keys, viol, violin, cello and
saxophone, their sound shimmies along the border of folk with influences of jazz
and soul.

13. SEEDS
Struggling to start a family, Peter Stone and Denise MacKay, the husband and wife
folk duo better known as 100 mile house, share their anguish and grief on their fourth
album Hiraeth. Hiraeth, a Welsh word meaning a nostalgic longing for something that
may never have been, encapsulates the emotions pulled apart throughout the releases
thirteen tracks. Despite the subject's pain, the couple lean on each other's love more
than ever as the fragile songs shiver the spine. Stone is known for his honest,
heartfelt lyrics and on this release he lets us into the deepest corners of his soul.
At times the songs are like wedding vows, reiterating love, finding comfort in the
companionship ("Hiraeth", "Go Take Me"). He reveals his love for his new homeland of
Canada, having moved from the UK ("Pick Up Our Boots"). We share a tear, as their
relationship risks crashing on the rocks off "Brighton Beach."

10. TO THE MOON WITH YOU ALICE
Singer/songwriter Jessica Heine's dynamic voice shakes rooms. Yet on her third album,
Goodbye Party, her power is tampered by loss. With new fragility, she opens up about
her personal grief, threading gossamer cords between her painful divorce, the untimely
death of her nephew, the loss of her grandmother and the regrowth born in the aftermath
of these losses. Amongst the songs, dreams are celebrated and mourned. Dreams of the
future float away and new dreams surface in their place. Her own guitar work is
primarily supported by a full band consisting of piano, mandolin, bass and drums and
on the title track, "Goodbye Party," textured backing vocals offer a hand to their
sinking friend. Heine's voice may not quake the room in Goodbye Party, but she
harnesses powers that shake the soul much deeper. You're left seeing the buds of new
life poking through the ashes scattered on the ground, knowing that they, like these
songs, will bloom beautifully.

Jon Brooks asks "What makes us human?" and discovers it's "All that neither Moth
Nor Rust can touch": love, hope, trust, forgiveness, vigilance, faith, curiosity,
memory, inspiration, courage, wonder and wonder's paradoxical willingness to accept
and embrace the ineffable and the unknown. Moth Nor Rust II, Brooks' seventh release,
revisits the themes and stories the Toronto-based singer/songwriter first examined in
2009 on his solo acoustic Moth Nor Rust release.

There's a poignant double meaning behind the new album Love and Leave You by the

work, Peter Stone and Denise MacKay seem naturally attuned to life's impermanence;
the reality that we must cherish what we have, while knowing we must eventually let
it go.

09. BANKSY WAS HERE
Through orchestrated layers reminiscent of the plushest art galleries, Jay Aymar
(pronounced Ay-Mar), consummate songwriter and poet, rises from shadowed concrete
beds to bring us a cinematic view of the colossal battles between love and art, bred
through the transience and demands of touring. Your Perfect Matador celebrates the
juxtaposition and necessity to "do a little wrong, to make things right," illustrated
by visual artists Banksy, Vincent van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci. It's a narcotic
cocktail of edgy post-Americana, swampy southern roots-rock with touches of soul and
funk. Produced by Michael Phillip Wojewoda, featuring guest vocals from Shakura
S'aida, Alejandra Ribera and Chloe Charles and string arrangements from Drew Jurecka.

11. WHO ARE YOU
Ayla Brook (pronounced Ey-Lah) makes music as raw and vast as the Canadian prairies
and as broad and deep as the Pacific Ocean. From his remote conception in BC's Refuge
Cove, to his upbringing in Lily Plain, Saskatchewan, to forming The Sound Men in the
prairie capital city of Edmonton, Ayla has never wavered from his original vision
of honest roots rock. That vision is brilliantly captured on Desolation Sounds, the
new album by Ayla Brook & The Sound Men, produced by Terra Lightfoot and mixed by
Jon Auer of The Posies and Big Star fame. It's a collection of songs and stories
about friends and family. With levity, grit and grief we're pulled into human
connections stronger than the ding of a phone notification. They burst with rock
and soul and the western charm that has become the band's trademark sound. That was
proven when they were named Roots Artist of the Year at the 2018 Edmonton Music
Awards, the capper to a full summer of folk and indie music festivals. Whether
they're packing dance floors in honky tonks or in rock clubs soaked in wine and
whiskey, Ayla Brook & The Sound Men deliver a tapestry of hurtin' and feelin' tunes
about life on and off Canada's barstools.

consumerism, political apathy, the climate emergency, colonialism and indigenous
rights on their breakthrough second album, The Happening.
