Currently falling in love with this Toronto (via Saskatoon) experimental synth artist. She apparently has a forth-coming sci-fi concept record titled Sector 03 - but you should check out her bandcamp in the meantime. Castle If is playing March 24th in Toronto at Cinecycle w/ ANAMAI & Twist. Mark if off in you calendars now.  

music video of the day: "Woman" by Blunt Chunks

in

Filmed and edited by Caitlin Woelfle-O'Brien Music by Blunt Chunks, mixed and recorded with the help of Ben Cook Shot on a Super8 camera with black & white TriX film

Toronto darling Caitlin Woelfle-O'Brien aka Blunt Chunks is a beast of sound + she made this Super 8 video that perfectly captures her vibe. 

"I wrote ["Woman"] in the spring of 2013 basically about the pitfalls of romance as a young confused woman, as well as the anxieties I’ve had living in a city with endless possibilities, so many choices, little guidance, depressing surroundings."

I could have sworn I already posted this one but I guess not. Oh well, catch up. Been on this track for about a month now and I'm still hype about it. Stoked to hear/see what's to come from this talented and hardworking local. Shout outs to Toronto. Shout outs to Get Home Safe. You should also check out his new track "Switch" below & watch out for Marauding in Paradise due out this fall. 

music video of the day:"Blood In The Sun" by Fresh Snow

Who loves the sun? Not everyone? Well, it turns out the feeling is mutual. Life is a brief and beautiful thing that can sometimes appear to be ugly and horrible. To me this video is about trying to preserve and protect that beauty.

MATROX - 4:45PM 
Most People - 6:00PM 
Weaves - 7:00PM

This vibe is on point. This band is on point. This video is smooth and on point.
This time last year at a SummerWorks party, Absolutely Free sang to me whilst I was perched up on a balcony - and consequently I fell in love. Their debut self-titled album finally comes out October 14th. About time.  And in the meantime? Stream their 12" below...

I really like this song & the video is smooth expect for the fact that I don't like Kylie Jenner.
That being said, this almost makes me like her.
