Big in Canada!

Eventually, I'll dedicate a long-winded post on my love for Canadian rock...Tragically Hip, Sloan, Super Friendz, Zumpano, Thrush Hermit, Death From Above 1979, Broken Social Scene, Hot Hot Heat, Feist, Bedouin Soundclash, the Dears, anything featuring Ruth Minnikin (the Guthries, the Heavy Blinkers et al), Wolf Parade, Metric, Zeus and a huge ETC. ETC.

The past few weeks I've been telling everybody I know to check out Islands and their new release "A Sleep & a Forgetting," their most focused record to date.

Here are three more excellent clips: a) a live version of "Vapours" (the title track from Islands' previous album), b) a promo clip for "The Arm" (2008) and c) Islands' side-project entitled Human Highway.

ENJOY!!
