I M U R, ellis, Von Bieker, and The Houses (where we grew up)

I M U R – My Molecules

A pleasant blend of alternative pop and electronic music, My Molecules is a 14 track album with bass soaked, trap-like beats, and melodic, catchy vocals. Vancouver’s I M U R takes elements of commercial pop nuanced with a variety of genres, from R&B to indie, to form an album both mellow and lush.

ellis – nothing is sacred anymore

From Hamilton, Ontario, ellis’ newest EP, nothing is sacred anymore, takes orchestral instrumentals and accompanies it with melancholy lyricism placed under a layer of reverberation. Nothing is sacred anymore reaches deep into the soul and releases a lifetime of emotional pain into a beautifully cathartic tear jerker of an album.

Von Bieker – Long For This World

Edmonton’s Von Bieker presents his newest album, Long For This World, as a heartfelt and introspective journey down memory lane. Recorded at Von Bieker’s house, this is a DIY album with the high fidelity of a studio album. Von Bieker grabs the listeners hand and shows them the places he’s been and the thoughts he has.

The Houses (where we grew up) – Welcome to Kitimat

Welcome to Kitimat is the newest release from Kamloops-based The Houses (where we grew up), under Divine Bovine Records. This album uses down-tempo psychedelic indie rock and folk-y vocals to create a record that sounds timeless through its blend of genres and unique method of utilizing them.
