Today, Liza Anne shares “Desire”, a new song featuring dynamic vocals and shimmering, fresh melodies to contrast complex lyrics. It Is her first new release of 2020, produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen (M83, Beck). ‘Desire feels like too much tequila, and I’ve had plenty,’ Liza sings on this irreverent, self-realizing new track about the intoxication of bad habits.

Liza said of “Desire”, - “This song is the feeling of having too much of a good thing. It is a reckoning with the responsibility that comes with interacting with people through a period of your own unhealth paired with the hope that you can handle yourself better in your future tomorrows.”

The indie rock songstress also recently announced a North American tour with Bombay Bicycle Club, which includes stops in Toronto and Montreal, and her hometown of Nashville. Additional dates to be announced soon.

In support of recovery efforts following the devastating tornado that tore through Nashville this past week, yesterday, Liza released a new live EP entitled Devotion: Nashville Strong. It is a three-song collection of live performances from her last show of 2019 at Nashville’s beloved venue The Basement East, which was destroyed. All proceeds from the EP will benefit Nashville tornado relief. Liza says of the EP, "The Basement East was directly in the line of destruction and among so many other Nashville staples, homes, businesses, families, and schools - the need for support in this community is vast and hard to comprehend. Anything helps. So much is needed."

Liza wrapped up 2019 in a big way - she toured with Lucy Dacus, opened for Phoebe Bridgers, and released her first new song in over 2 years, “Devotion”. Stereogum called “Devotion” a "synth-engulfed” anthem and Ladygunn said “every beat squeez[es] the Blondie-Esque female warrior out of you.” Read Liza’s interview with Flaunt about “Devotion” here.

"Devotion” and “Desire” follow Liza’s 2018 breakout album Fine But Dying, which NPR Music called “bold in both sound and subject.” Following that album, Liza opened for Kacey Musgraves at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, toured with Ray LaMontagne (including a stop at Radio City Music Hall), and walked NYFW 2019.

Today, following the news that his song “Portland, Maine” was Certified Gold in Canada, multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Donovan Woods is sharing his new song “Grew Apart”, which Rolling Stone calls a “simmering break up tune". The track previews his seventh studio album due later this year.

Produced by long-time collaborator James Bunton with vocal production by Todd Clark (Dua Lipa, Gavin DeGraw, Phillip Phillips), the song is co-written by Woods, Logan Wall, and Travis Wood. It exemplifies Woods’ ability to write with “soulful passion” (American Songwriter), revealing the soft underbelly of love’s vagaries.

“This song is about all the things we tell ourselves a breakup is about when perhaps the truth is just that two people didn’t like each other enough,” says Woods. "The chorus is a list of linguistic place holders that people use to communicate one thing: I don’t want to talk about it. I think men tend to speak about break-ups in this way so their pride doesn’t get wounded, when in truth, they’re hurting.”

“Grew Apart” follows Woods’ deeply personal “While All The While”, a track co-written alongside Lori McKenna. Cumulatively, Woods’ songs have earned more than 130 million streams and more than 1 million monthly listeners.

Currently on tour in Canada, Woods will head to the US on March 31 to support 6 time Grammy Award nominee Brandy Clark (Sheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, Darius Rucker, Kacey Musgraves) on her ‘Who You Thought I Was Tour’ before headlining his own run in May.

JAUNT ANNOUNCE DEBUT LP, SHARE VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE

ALL IN ONE DUE OUT APRIL 16, 2020

Toronto-based six-piece Jaunt are set to release their debut album All In One on April 16. The band formed in 2016 as a casual recording project that, upon the release of their debut EP Chat, became a local overnight sensation.

Today, Jaunt share “Delighted To Be Spoken To”, the second single to be taken from their upcoming LP, a song about resisting self-pity by developing a practice of gratitude for the fleeting, simple, joyful details of life. The accompanying video visually reflects that sentiment. The video is the first in a series of 6 tableaus – 1 for each band member – depicting mundane, yet vibrant and playful environments caught, slowed down, under a microscope, on repeat, and in reverse shot on 16mm. This first one is of vocalist Caitlin Woelfe-O’Brien.

Recorded over three years and engineered in collaboration with Alex Sowinski (BADBADNOTGOOD), this collection serves as a travelogue for the band’s growth. All In One celebrates connection, creativity, and adaptation all passed through the lens of desktop pop sensibilities and an endearingly adventurous spirit. Equal parts experimental and infectiously raw, faintly electric and distinctly exposed, the cornucopia of styles and sounds presented in All In One finds itself glued together by a palpable and unique sense of understanding and friendship.

A trip down memory lane might credit Jaunt’s beginnings to an elixir of coincidence and surrendering to try something new. Pat O’Brien, now the band’s guitarist, met future lead singer and songwriter Tom Helliwell at a Halloween party, striking a friendship that manifested across a few years of jams and shared musical creations. Somewhere along the way, Pat booked a show out of the blue, the band released their first EP, Chat, and Jaunt had graduated from a digital manifest of closeted collaborations to something tangible. Keyboardist Daniel Reardon entered the fold for the band’s first performance, followed closely by the addition of drummer Duncan Hood and bassist Nick Nausbaum.

Jaunt’s artistic palette, social circle, and resume developed quickly and organically, alongside their time active in the Toronto music scene. Duncan’s friendship and collaborations with Alex Sowinski intersected with Nick’s ties to the Montreal ecosystem that produced breakouts like Homeshake and Yves Jarvis; this further fostered creative community and opportunities to tour and record on top of groundwork already established by Pat and Tom. Duncan and Nick began performing with Charlotte Day Wilson as her backing band and would cross paths with vocalist and video artist Caitlin Woelfe-O’Brien playing similar venues. A friendship was sparked, Caitlin contributed her voice to coloring the band’s second EP, Cue, and now is a full-time member of the group. By this time, Jaunt had become a well-oiled machine: a synergetic sextet fueled by earnest ambition and artistic momentum.

The band’s origin story is the genesis for what would become their full-length debut. In name, All In One, evokes wholeness while feeling vast, a testament to the record’s breadth of musical directions and underlying cohesiveness. Thematically, it’s an homage to changes and evolution experienced by Jaunt on both an individual and collective scale throughout the album’s creation. The unpredictable variables in the bandmate’s lives – new jobs, partners, successes, failures, Tom moving to Hawaii for love – all provided a backdrop and clear pathos as they developed a consistent collection of works. Some songs on the album are more recently recorded; others were pocketed for future use. The goal and meaning of All In One was always on the horizon as Jaunt navigated unwaveringly toward it.
