With Daniel Romano change is the only constant. And he changes again on “Finally Free”, taking the basement tapes out into the sunshine. A couple of singles have been released already and Romano has dates inked in already, including Lee’s Palace in TO as well as shows in Waterloo, St. Catherines, and London ON.
There's a deep sonic seam running from one end of Canada to the other. It's termed American but its in reality its Canadiana and Whitehorse are one those acts which mine that sound. Think in terms of Gram Parson and Emmylou Harris sure but Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland are their own couple, one of Canada's great guitarist's and one of the country's great voices, all partnered up. They have moved the Cosmic American Music of the Flying Burrito Brothers deeper into the cosmos on their latest, "Panther in the Dollhouse," out on Six Shooter and nominated for Adult Alternative Album at the 2018 Junos. Whitehorse are touring, making at stop at the Oshawa Music Hall Saturday Apr 21. Dan Edmonds is opening, get there early.

I was dreaming of the past, the many times I've viewed a video by Chris Mills, and was wondering about travel, about the position of mobility, moving, transportation in his work; each video seems to encompass a journey, a physical journey, from the wonderous Acorn to his homage to Leonard Cohen, always travelling. Just a thought from Canada's motorcity as I watch this new video for BEAMS, who are on their own journey. Tour dates below.
