| Tip The Lifers - s/t
|
| https://www.thelifersmusic.com/
Released Friday, September 27, 2019 The Lifers’ new single titled “Tip” is an enviro-political outcry in the face of the current Global Climate Emergency. Shedding light on the seemingly small yet compounding choices we all make, “Tip” is a wake-up call to all humanity - voters and elected officials alike - who must work together to create positive, necessary, immediate, harmonious change. “Tip” is fervent, with ethereal synths and samples swirling amongst harp-inspired ukulele, haunting banjo, trembling cello, tidal percussion and foreboding electric guitar - a musical ecosystem on the brink of collapse. L Y R I C S Can't be seen just looking out your window To believe, you must know you don't know Empathy cast so far away it crumbled Two tiny degrees I can barely conceive of just what that means I'm making myself dizzy Untangling what's passed to our hands While you're busy Making oil hungry foes friends You can’t hear her crying But I can feel her dying In each takeout container In each tractor trailer In each new skyscraper n each refrigerator And we're seeing the best of it Only see the tip of it We can't see the rest of it Only see the tip of it I'm making myself dizzy Untangling what's passed to our hands While you're busy Making oil hungry foes friends You can't hear her crying But I can feel her dying In each bottle of water In each airport departure In each resource imported In each pipeline extorted In each empty room lit up In each shirt from a sweatshop In each amazon order In each lone car driver In each lake I can't swim in n each Doug Ford decision And we're seeing the best of it Only see the tip of it We can't see the rest of it Only see the tip of it It's not if it's when It's not if it's when It's not if it's when It's not if it's when ... It's not if |

| The Silence Came After Claude Munson - The Silence Came After
|
| https://claudemunson.bandcamp.com/
https://www.facebook.com/events/370884556888697/ Delta Will and Claude Munson will be descending upon the Blacksheep stage on Thursday October 10th! Ottawa's Claude Munson writes uninhibited impressionist-folk. Whether drenched in crystalline synths or stripped bare, Munson's songs tackle modern life and love with radical intimacy. His soaring, gritty tenor paints vivid pictures of hard promises and ecstatic joys: atmospheric narratives that unfold, Rorschach-like. Delta Will is the ever-evolving songs project of Charles Tilden. The latest release Multitudes II "reinvents the band as a chamber-folk ensemble: there’s now violin, upright bass, and two clarinets to round out the band’s sound. Tilden’s lyrics have always been thoughtful, often asking huge existential questions about ourselves and nature. These musings fit perfectly into Multitudes II‘s relaxed atmosphere, and it’s only fitting that Sandro Perri had a hand in mixing this EP; his own music has always felt like an extension of nature itself." - Dominionated |

| Pulling Your Sword out of the Devil's Back Brock Zeman - Pulling Your Sword Out of the Devil’s Back
|
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncKCB794FOs
When it comes to storytelling, Brock Zeman is a master craftsman. The Canada-based singer-songwriter has spent the past 12 years carving and chiseling Americana soundscapes, drawing from roots-rock and alternative country. But what separates Zeman from his contemporaries isn’t a willingness to speak truth – it’s his unwillingness to conform to the rules of Nashville and the traditional framework of genre. What gives Zeman’s stories force isn’t that he’s just singing a narrative – he’s living it. Playing Friday! Brock Zeman Live at Irene's w/ full band Friday, October 11, 2019 at 9 PM Irene's Pub - 885 Bank Street https://www.facebook.com/events/1360393107454464/ |
