[Download] Oh! Canada 7

-”

Welcome once again to Oh! Canada, TLOBF’s one stop shop for the best new music coming out of Canada. We kick off the year with a bumper crop of artists, going from spiky New Wave to minimal folk ballads and taking in heavenly harmonies, parping horn sections, sweeping strings and plenty of fuzzed up guitar along the way. Following up on our review of 2009, we’ve tried to give you a sample of our guest reviewers tips for this year and highlight some of the acts that they felt you needed to hear. Plus we are very pleased to say that when we bumped in to Andrew Vincent at Shhh! Festival earlier this week he gave us an exclusive sneak peak from his upcoming EP, in the form of ‘Ambassador Bridge’.

Our thanks to all the artists for agreeing to take part in Oh! Canada, and for tipping us off on what they like hearing! Please click on the links to find out more about each of the artists involved, and as ever there are a few extra freebies lurking somewhere within.
