Poor Cadence Weapon. He can’t get no respect around here. There was once a time where he toured with Islands, back when Nick Thorburn was badass Nick Diamonds. Opening for them, he’d meet crowds not so much hostile as confused: “Hip-hop? At a rock show? We’renotpreparedaaaaaah ” to the point that they did the shocked Standard Hipster Show Dance, also known as the Stand Still. The only time he got a rise out of them was when he did the rap bit from Return to the Sea’s “Where There’s a Will, There’s a Whalebone.” They ...

Cadence Weapon has revealed a few more details about his forthcoming album. A literate, inventive rapper Cadence Weapon has been silent for far too long. Leaving a four year gap between albums, the Canadian artist recently revealed that he had ventured back into the studio. Recently unveiling the Grimes sampling cut '88' via his Twitter feed, Cadence Weapon hit SXSW with some new material in tow. AUX tracked down the rapper, who explained a little more about those recent sessions. Grimes will seemingly make another appearance, while Buck 65 and Doldrums are also taking part. Watch the video below. - - - Cadence ...

Alternative-Folker Sufjan Stevens veröffentlicht Ende März via Anticon eine Kollaborations-EP mit dem US-amerikanischen Produzenten  Son Lux und dem Rapper Serengeti. Unter dem Projektnamen s / s / s haben die drei Musiker vier Tracks eingespielt und bekommen dabei unter anderem Unterstützung von My Brightest Diamond -Sängerin Shara Worden und Hip Hopper Doseone von der Gruppierung Themselves. Wie das Resultat am Ende klingen wird, darüber kann an dieser Stelle nur spekuliert werden, allerdings soll bereits der Eröffnungstrack ein Auto-Tune-geschwängertes Duett von Stevens und Serengeti beinhalten. Beide Künstler arbeiteten allerdings bereits in der Vergangenheit auf einem Remix für Buck 65 zusammen, in welchen ihr ...

In June 2010 I wrote about Laura J Martin for this esteemed organ when she only had one single to her name. By the end of 2011 that had risen to three singles. Now, on possibly one of the most depressing days of the year , comes her debut album on Static Caravan . “The Hangman Tree” bundles three songs from those singles - the title track being one of them - into this sixteen-song flighty folk odyssey that is the perfect antidote for lifting spirits flagging with the January blues. If you are familiar with the singles you will know to expect: intricately ...

Alright, I have to admit I heard about this a little while ago but I just couldn't wrap my head around what Joel Plaskett was up to. Here's the deal, as I understand it.  Beginning yesterday Plaskett will be recording and digitally releasing a song a week for ten straight weeks.  Every Tuesday the new song will be premiered on CBC Radio 2's The Drive with Buck 65 (I mean Rich Telfry) at 5:15pm EST.  The first song, was "You're Mine". This will culminate in the release of a complete new album, Scrappy Happiness , on ...

For the second half of my favourite albums list, click here ! 12. Coeur de Pirate , Blonde Let's face it: with her voice and her ear for melody, Beatrice Martin could probably sing in Simlish and still have it sound good. Or, more realistically, after the success of her self-titled debut, she probably could've allowed herself to coast a little on Blonde . Instead, she improved on an already good thing, and showed that there was a whole lot more where her first album came from. Download " Loin d'ici " 11.

UPDATE: Buck 65 makes up for previously cancelled tour stops with some February 2012 dates.

Three months into the retrospective and it's becoming clear what a great year it's been year underneath the radar. In any other year the Devil's favourite tracks from March could all have made the top ten tracks of the year. It's also dawning on me that choosing a top 10 for the year is going to be the Devil's own job. So here are my favourite tracks (in no particular order) from March 2011... MP3 - Faith & Mark - Life Goes On This track is published with the permission of Faith & Mark so please don't claim ...

Sounds mean but I hope someone makes Buck real mad one day and he decides to make some angry, dark, less flowery music. Like before. Not really, but really.
