Alix Fernz (Montreal, QC)
https://alixfernz.bandcamp.com/album/bizou-2
Scratchy, contrasting and labyrinthine, songs from Alix Fernz venture deep into post-punk’s scalene enclave, also flirting with hypnagogic pop, resulting in a lo-fi hybrid between synthwave and alternative rock, topped with catchy yet kooky melodies. Singing about bar life, psychosocial disorders, drug, addiction and fear, while drawing inspiration from high heels, lipstick, transvestism, fashion and weirdos, the singer-songwriter lays out along masqued syllabic beats the accounts of a coming-of-age in an era wherein likes and memes are all the rage
Boyhood (Central Frontenac, ON)
https://boyhoodsongs.bandcamp.com/album/my-dread
When Caylie Runciman started calling herself Boyhood, it was a nod to childhood nostalgia. Now, the alias – and the beguiling bedroom anthems – are one and the same. Tough-kid guitar grit and deadpan verses give way to whimsical synthlines and delicate harmonies. But like an off-kilter merry- go-round, or a candy shop in a seedy part of town, there's a shady layer to Runciman's perfect pop. Her black magic is raw – equal parts ecstasy and heartbreak. And in among the bright colours, there's the joy and the pain in knowing what it means to grow up.
