Now Playing: Great Lake SwimmersGreat Lake Swimmers make all the pieces fit together. There's something natural about the group's dynamic, like they have been playing together since they were kids, which is surprising, given the revolving door of the bands roster. At GLSs core is Tony Dekker, a man hell bent on taming the wide open spaces of his youth in Wainfleet, Ontario into something tangible and torrential. After numerous albums and a spread of styles and modes, Dekker finally adopted the balance he sees fit with New WiBaebleMusic10 May 2012

Said The Whale - Little Mountain (2012)From the energetic first single "Heavy Ceiling", you could tell that Little Mountain, the new studio record from Juno Award-winning band Said The Whale, was going to be special. The British Columbia band are poised to release the record on March 6th. The strength of Said The Whale, which is repeated constantly on Little Mountain, is their ability to marry catchy hooks with a roots music tradition. In that they equal, or possibly even surpass the likes of Great Lake Swimmers and Band Of Horses. Toss in a healthy dose of Canadian imagery and it makes for an endearing blend ...Music Emissions7 May 2012
