NEW MUSiC: CFCF, Continent
Quick Before it Melts —
Authority: 465
I never expected to be so taken with Continent , the full-length debut LP by Montreal DJ maestro CFCF (born Michael Silver). I’ve been moving away from electronic music lately, but CFCF’s laid back sound and effortless style has drawn me back in. Besides this album, his excellent cover of OMC’s “How ...17 hours ago -

Authority: 421
Peter Projects was one act that I missed out at Pop Montreal this year. When I heard the name, I thought it would be him who I talked to at Pop Montreal but it was someone else . Who knew both had the same name. Music is a mix of indie pop electro hip-hop. The EP has a theme of being squeaky clean. Catchy and ...3 days ago -

Sometimes less is more. Imagine being Lady GaGa for instance: You can’t even go to the corner store for milk without putting on your bloody lace and spiky halo headdress, and setting fire to the hood of your car.
