Out of the beautiful Victoria BC, just across the border from the northwest corner of Washington state, is a new pop band of which you should be aware.

The song begins soft and remains so throughout the first half, only to foray into a psychedelic electric haze toward the end. Singer Deirdre Smith excels with whispery, surreal vocals and the backing bedroom pop-meets-psychedelic experimentation is her perfect combination. Read More »We’re Invisible Now: Galilee [mp3]

Jets Overhead: No Nations [Album Review]

Jets Overhead could have easily been around 15 years ago. They would have made a few slacker movie soundtracks alongside the likes of The Jesus and Mary Chain (who, if you remember, were on EVERY soundtrack back then). But, there is also the likelihood they would have faded into nostalgic memory and became a simple novelty for FM radio. Thankfully, their old school and easy paced alternative album No Nations is only now shedding light. Original Soul Asylum fans are now in their forties. Scary, sure – but, this band will make them feel young again.
