YOKE LORE UNVEILS INDIE DANCE-FLOOR JAM “EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE LOVED” W/ NVUDES

LISTEN AND SHARE “EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE LOVED” W/ NVDES HERE

NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES BEGIN SEP 28

“Adrian Galvin's solo act is a delicious mixture of folk, pop and electronic that constantly keeps listeners on their toes.” -  MTV 

In the wake of his North American tour announce, Yoke Lore unveils track "Everybody Wants To Be Loved" with NVDES. Stepping away from the chill sound of his most recent Meditations EP, the single blends Adrian Galvin's idyllic vocals with an infectious beat for an irresistibly fun electronic jam that is sure to have you on your feet. 

Speaking of the collaboration, indie sensation Yoke Lore states, "me and Josh (NVDES) run into each other in weird places. I’ve encountered him in random LA rooftops, Parisian cafes and German airports. Our collaboration is laced with some years of growth we’ve seen each other go through. I think the amount of time we took to let this song become a reality can be felt in its multifarious nature. It has a hectic drive that both makes you move and leaves you yearning. The song is about not being sure about your place in the romantic world. Do we have to play that game? And when we do who do we become? But if we don’t what do we miss? And all the changes we go through as we navigate those questions to build ourselves."

Josh of NVDES sums up the track with "'Everybody Wants To Be Loved' is about the angst of being human with the natural desire to share love in this volatile world."

After putting out three acclaimed EPs which gained Yoke Lore a loyal following— Far Shore (2016), Goodpain (2017), and Absolutes (2018) — 2019’s Meditations stripped several of Galvin’s familiar songs to their core by trading the usual electronic elements for arrangements of piano, horns, and strings. In addition to these re-interpretations, listeners found two new studio songs on the Meditations EP.  This fall Galvin is set to embark on his first national headlining tour heading across the country, playing premiere venues in cities such as Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco and Chicago along the way.

“...really thoughtful and hypnotic…” NPR New Music Friday

Today, Saskatoon’s Close Talker, are sharing their new LP How Do We Stay Here? with the masses, and NPR have picked it as their feature album on New Music Friday. The album “is about trying to wrestle with time,” the band says. “It's about trying to learn from experiences, trying to keep perspective, trying to progress in this weird world, and sometimes trying not to progress at all; to sit in a moment and soak it in for all it has to offer before it becomes nothing more than a memory. This album is us navigating through the past two years, through both the good times and the bad, and holding on to those times for as long as we're able."

Close Talker has always strived to push their craft toward new uncharted territories. Recently the band embarked on a 3D-360 Silent Headphone Concert, pairing their live show with a mix that immersed the audience in instruments and voices orbiting and swirling around them on all axis, increasing the impact and depth of the band’s already acclaimed live show. Now the band ready to head back out on the road for a series of traditional concerts across Canada and the US. Full tour dates can be found below with tickets on sale September 4.

In so many ways How Do We Stay Here? marks a new chapter for the band. The three members leaned into the trust and foundation built over countless years of friendship to pursue a record that would be sustainable and timeless for them. Choosing to self-produce allowed the band to hold this album close to their chest while it developed organically over the course of 2018 at RMS Labs in Regina, SK. It is an album the band wrote for themselves, in hopes that the songs would carry the same meaning in 10 years, as they do today.

Close Talker have toured throughout North America and Europe, and has gained the attention and praise of notable publications such as NPR, Billboard, Clash, Spin, Q Magazine, COS etc. Having recently won Alternative Artist of The Year at the Saskatchewan Music Awards, the band is poised for a breakthrough 2019. Beyond Close Talker’s recordings and videos, the music comes alive with the band’s iconic live show, leaving audiences around the world satisfied, having left all inhibitions behind. 

Close Talker are Will Quiring (vocals/guitar), Matthew Kopperud (Guitar/Keyboard), and Christopher Morien (drums).

MORE PRAISE FOR CLOSE TALKER

"Close Talker, has a way of burrowing deep under the skin.... the band recently unveiled another moody, sweetly impeccable gem in "Half Past Nine." Those bold, chiming guitars are back, this time in aid of a warmhearted rumination on moments we celebrate, romanticize and fight to preserve in our memories" - NPR

"The Change It Brings" is a softly ruminating track that tackles the most fickle theme of them all- time. Rolling over sinuous guitar layers and smatterings of melodic synths, lead singer Will's breathy vocals welcome you in like a hot cup of tea on a winter's day. The track then promptly sits you down and leaves you to reflect on your own memories while it soothingly plays the soundtrack to your mind. - Earmilk

“A song like "Half Past Nine" shows why the band has found success, it's full of heart and nostalgic longing for moments that have passed but have made a lasting effect for the better.” - The Wild Honey Pie

“’Pace’ is dripping with yearning and nervous anxiety set to a tight indie beat.” - Parade Mag

THE BROS. LANDRETH REVEAL NEW SINGLE, “GOOD LOVE”

FALL TOURS IN NORTH AMERICA + EUROPE

"Joey Landreth is on fire... matching his chops on slide guitar with a voice that’s as big as John Hiatt’s. ”

The Bros. Landreth (aka Joey & Dave Landreth) have revealed new single, “Good Love”. The Winnipeg duo will release their sophomore album ’87 on September 27 via Birthday Cake/The Orchard and in a few short weeks, they’ll support the LP with a run of tour dates throughout North America and Europe. Full tour dates can be found below.

Discussing “Good Love” the Brothers stated, “When we wrote this song we were doing our best to channel a John Hiatt vibe. We started from there and a story began to unfold. Initially it was written as a fairly classic love-gone-wrong… two people coming to the realization that they both want the same thing, but that they won’t find it together. It’s bitter-sweet, just the resignation that they did their best and now it’s time to chase some good love with someone else. However, once it was done and we had a bit of a distance from it, we started to hear it as a hopeful song instead. Rather than two people turning away from each other it started to sound like maybe it’s a call to arms within a relationship… ‘Hey, let’s put our heads together and work this thing out. Don’t you think it’s worth it? Don’t you want some good love?’”

The Bros. Landreth released their debut album, Let It Lie, via the Nashville-based Slate Creek Records in 2015. The album received widespread acclaim, won multiple awards including a JUNO Award, propelling the band to play over 400 tour dates around the world. A Rolling Stone review praised the band’s, “quiet storm of slide guitar solos, blue notes, three part harmonies,” while musical hero, Bonnie Raitt, was equally impressed after catching the band’s set, saying, "I haven't liked a band as much as The Bros. Landreth in a long time. To hear this kind of funky, southern style rock played with such originality and soul will knock you out."

Then, the band went on a hiatus. The break afforded Joey the opportunity to release his debut solo album, Whiskey, in 2017, touring extensively and furthering his reputation for being a first-rate guitar slinger, songwriter, and performer in his own right. Joey’s booming solo career might have delayed the timeline for the brothers, yet they never stopped writing songs that would eventually be recorded for their long awaited, follow-up release.



Teaming up in the studio with drummer Ryan Voth, guitarist Ariel Posen, and longtime producer Murray Pulver, the soon to be released album, ’87, is an exciting evolution of the band’s sound, honed by thousands of hours on stage and filtered through the lens of the last many years on the road. The Bros. Landreth’s journey took some unexpected turns, but ultimately reaffirmed two brother’s earnest desire to make honest music together. ’87 is a nod to the real beginning of the band; the year they became brothers.
