It’s hard to believe a month has flown by since we bought you Oh! Canada 5. As ever, we here at TLOBF have been busy uncovering some gems to present to you as the nights draw in. This month’s Oh! Canada comp features two tracks taken from tape only releases, and taking this as an inspiration, we have divided the comp into two sides…
Side one kicks off with the stars of this weeks Oh! Canada presents… The Wilderness of Manitoba, pays a visit to the twinkling xylophone realm of Vancouver’s Wintermitts, spends some time in the cinema with handclaps, muted horns and swears of Culture Reject before giving you a sneak peak of a song from the forthcoming Woodpigeon record, recorded live at the Jack Singer Concert Hall in Calgary.
Meanwhile, side two turns the volume up and things take a turn to the dark side, as we introduce you to the melancholy brooding dub of Babe Rainbow, Friendo (featuring Michael from Women), Puberty (featuring Nicole from Friendo), and Basketball (Featuring none of the above) as well as brand new tracks from Tegan and Sara and You Say Party! We Say Die!
Don’t forget to keep an eye out for Dan Mangan, Hey Rosetta!, Spiral Beach and The Tragically Hip who will all be making it over to these shows during November.
As ever our thanks go to all those who make Oh! Canada possible. Please follow the links to find out more about the artists featured and let them know what you think! There’s also a couple of ’special links’ in there if you know where to look…one of which has a particularly Halloween-y flavour.
