We are pleased to be carrying two new 7" singles featuring some of our favourite independent Canadian musicians. The orange one on the left there has an A-side with "Shanty Song" by Bruce Peninsula, which you may have heard on their debut album A Mountain is a Mouth. This time around, the track gets a beautiful new arrangement recorded by the mighty Muskox, while the singers have played a game of musical chairs, leading to some new voices sharing the spotlight. Side B continues the nautical theme with a contribution from The Gertrudes, another large band, based out of Kingston, ON. Their song's a tale of two lovers lost at sea, and is a nice buoy after Bruce Peninsula's more sombre side. PS I Love You make an appearance on the song too, which is most felt during the last two minutes, when the squealing guitar and feedback begins, giving the song a nice edge that really makes it stand out from the pack. Speaking of PS, they've got their own 7" with two brand new songs, "Starfield" and "Butterflies and Boners," a song about liking someone so much that you throw up. Both records are extremely limited-edition and come in cool silkscreened sleeves, so don't miss out!
