IB - 2025 Favourites

The Winnipeg squad does NOT miss! Very rad to hear these songs recorded in this way. Boy Golden @ Club SAW in Ottawa towards the end of 2024 was one of the best shows I've been to in years.

Tender stuff. Big love for records being made like this with the whole squad in the room and using the keeper live-take vocals.

Funky western/alt-goth-disco country singer-songwriter. Yup!

My good pal Liam S. Russell put me on to this one. Thanks Liam! I remember thinking the production sounded uncannily like some of the recent Bahamas records on a first listen. Turns out Afie produced it and pulled on performances from Christine Bougie (guitar) and Felicity Williams (vox). The more you know.

He wasn't really a Bee Gee, but he was one of the Brothers Gibb. It's so funky.

The Wilco guy made a really long record and I like it a lot.

How did these guys go under my radar for so long??? This record is very good. Brad Barr is posting Instagram reels of himself playing 'violin' by pulling on household thread tied to his guitar strings, and that's pretty rock 'n roll.

A late addition that I came across in late November. Gorgeous and gentle singer/songwriter record.
