HEAVEN FOR REAL - Montreal/Halifax
The Grundy brothers, along with their companions in Heaven For Real, have been fine-tuning their distinct approach to songwriting since the band's emergence in 2012. Now this year, for their Mint debut, they have prepared Kill Your Memory, a collection of songs brimming with their idiosyncratic brand of maximalist pop music. Equally enamoured with creating undeniable melodic hooks as they are with unconventional sounds, the album marks Heaven For Real's emergence as fully formed left-field masters with the unique ability to turn directions on a dime.
SUPERMOON - Vancouver, BC
The self-proclaimed gadabouts of moody pop, Supermoon, are at it again! The group’s latest excursion, Playland, bubbles with intelligent, weirdo songs that combine sunny riffs and distorted ring outs. Coated in sugary vocals with driving bass, spectral guitars, and marching drums, the songs of Supermoon seem to wink at something lurking beneath the surface.
JAY ARNER - Vancouver, BC
Vancouver, British Columbia’s Jay Arner knows how to rein in his apprehensions: with sun-baked glam rock. His beach-y jams hint at ‘80s strongholds like Sparks and Roxy Music.
Arner’s sophomore record "Jay II" was recorded and mixed during one month along with his Energy Slime partner, Jessica Delisle, in an effort to find himself after two years of touring.
