Kurt Loewen, GG Love, future star, and Cool Animal
Kurt Loewen – Anyway
Talented in vocals, guitar, and the piano (amongst other instruments), Victoria’s multi-instrumentalist Kurt Loewen released his newest piece of solo work, Anyway, a trio of songs that feature Kurt’s gorgeous piano skills accompanied by his ballroom vocals and filled by the strums of a guitar. For those who seek something slow and sensual, this is for you.
GG Love – How Do You Define Love?
Opening with one of the trippiest thing’s I’ve ever heard, How Do You Define Love?, the newest release from Montreal’s GG Love, is a synth-pop pie in six pieces. With soft, soulful vocals and a gorgeous composition of drum machines, synths, and a guitar, this album is a stack of psychedelic groove tunes.
future star – all of these songs are about you (none of these sounds are about me)
This is such a sweet album. Originally written for their partner, future star’s newest release is an eight track set of love songs guaranteed to tug your heartstrings through its romantic lyrics and beautiful lo-fi instrumentals. The album is tagged as “crying baby”, which is exactly what you’ll become after giving it a listen.
Cool Animal – Lisa
Badass guitars, groovy bass lines, fire drums, and orchestral synthesizers – this album is awesomeness incarnate. In Lisa, Cool Animal goes full force with their psychedelic jams - all instrumental – and hooks you in mere seconds, leaving your peckish ears satisfied with this eight piece meal of delicious listening.
