Today, two-time JUNO Award winner Old Man Luedecke releases the deluxe edition of his 2024, electric guitar-driven record She Told Me Where To Go. Commenting on the release of this deluxe edition, Luedecke says, “My banjo never made it onto the original version of She Told Me Where To Go. Though it was always in the trunk of my car or in the corner of the studio, and though the songs have rung out with it in countless concerts since the album's release in 2024, the decision in the recording sessions was always “no banjo.” Now, however, we present several of the album cuts reimagined in my classic format of solo banjo and voice. Hope you enjoy, find yourself munching pleasantly on the words, and share it with friends and family.”

The deluxe edition also includes his cover of Cat Power’s “The Greatest” featuring Willa Owen. "As a lyrics guy, I didn’t really know what this was about but felt its melancholy resignation so deeply and the release in the tag line for many years,” says Luedecke. “Earlier this year, I saw a moving Cat Power performance at Port Fairy Folk Festival in Australia that was affecting and highly theatrical and which infiltrated my subsequent dreams. Looking for a song to sing that would be a challenge, I found myself listening to this on repeat around a visit to a Bavarian restaurant in rural New Brunswick. On the morning of the session, I called my friend Willa Owen to help me out as I was leaving for the studio. She helped a lot and this happened."

Old Man Luedecke lumbered up the highway to record these tunes with Joshua Van Tassel (Bahamas, Donovan Woods). The thought was to strip the songs down to the studs, just Chris and his banjo. They revisited a few album tracks, including the title track, and added a new song, the lead single “Five and Ten” an ode to older, simpler times. “It’s a song about the passage of time, both melancholy and tender that touches on love and ambition,” cites Luedecke.

Behind She Told Me Where to Go, Luedecke toured from his home in the maritimes to far reaching parts of Canada’s arctic, on through to Europe, and down to Australia and many parts in between. Hot off the heels of wins at the East Coast Music Awards and the Nova Scotia Music Awards, he’ll be back down under early in 2026 as well as making a couple stops in Canada.

"It works as a sweet love song, but anything this seductive is also a bit chilling." Those are the words of Adam LaFramboise on "Drug of Choice", the third single from his forthcoming debut LP as Clothesline From Hell, due out January 16, 2026 via 444%. "Drug of Choice" is a hypnotic piece of psychedelic pop, evoking a warped, sinister sense of joy from distorted sounds that grind along like a bad high or emotional punishment.

Unlike uptempo rock leaning lead singles "Whoever You Are..." and "On Ice", "Drug of Choice" is a plodding, mesmerizing slow burn. At first the song feels fragile, but grows in strength as it's pushed forward by a relentless drum that builds with the song so subtly, its crescendo is just as logical as it is abrasive. 

"It felt like magic from the very first time I sang the melody," LaFramboise muses further. "A lot of the songs on this album feel as if they're blissfully unaware they're about to go up in flames."

MORE ABOUT CLOTHES LINE FROM HELL + SLATHER ON THE HONEY
Born from collapse after the fleeting success of his breakout single “Open Up”, Slather On The Honey turns wreckage into resolve. Fragile and oversized, frustrated and funny, this record is not the album that was supposed to be made, but the one that had to be.

Slather On The Honey, is the sound of intimacy colliding with distortion. Songs pivot midstream, tempos shift without warning, and choruses surface once before vanishing. Built from iPhone sketches expanded into layered guitars, vocals, drums, and strings, the record nods to Elliott Smith, Nirvana, and Nine Inch Nails but still finds its own space.

Not long ago, the Toronto-based singer-songwriter Adam LaFramboise was half-watching a show when a stray line about business deals stopped him cold. “The character goes, ‘they slather on the honey just so they can lick it off,’” he recalls. “And it just clicked. It summed up exactly what I’d been through at the time, and right away I knew it had to be the title of the record.”

For LaFramboise the phrase was more than a witty metaphor. It captured the way encouragement can quickly turn into indifference and how promises can vanish without explanation.

The year before, he had released “Open Up”, a hook-heavy single made with Matt Tavares (formerly of BADBADNOTGOOD). It was the first time he had deliberately written a pop song, and it seemed to unlock something bigger. Labels circled. Momentum built. Then it all collapsed. Contracts were offered, then withdrawn. The same people who pushed him forward told him to wait and hold off on an album.

Instead, he made Slather On The Honey. Written in the shadow of that disappointment, Clotheslines from Hell’s debut embraces contradiction: fragile and oversized, frustrated and funny, sticky with the residue of promises broken.

The record is the culmination of a journey LaFramboise began almost a decade ago. In his earliest days, he wrote songs in bands that rarely made space for them. Feeling sidelined, he began recording alone, using his phone as a studio. Early tracks, often in strange tunings, were sold as five-dollar tapes at shows and uploaded to Bandcamp as “glorified demos.” Slowly, they reached small pockets of listeners who connected with their raw intimacy. Messages trickled in from other DIY artists, kids on the internet who wanted to know what tuning he was using or who simply told him the songs inspired them. “I was just happy to have had a few messages every now and then from kids basically just saying they really liked the songs and that they thought it was inspiring,” he recalls.

On Slather On The Honey, LaFramboise wrote and produced every track, still using his phone as the main initial recording device, but then building them from layered guitars, vocals, drums, and strings before bringing in collaborators to expand the sound. Josh McIntyre (Prince Innocence) and Nate Burley (Young Clancy) added bass, keys, and production. Curtis Everett Pauley (The Life) shaped “Play Me”, “Annie”, and “Girl Music”. Tavares returned for “Drug of Choice”, with piano and synths cutting against LaFramboise’s restless arrangements. Jono Currier contributed guitar to “On Ice” and the project at large was mixed by Lars Stalfors (The Dare, Mars Volta) and mastered by Ruairi O’Flaherty.

Musically, the album is unpredictable. Songs shift tempos without warning, choruses appear once and never return and structures bend into unexpected shapes. At times, the intimacy recalls Elliott Smith. Elsewhere, the guitars channel Nirvana’s bite or dissolve into the mechanical unease of Nine Inch Nails.

Lyrically, LaFramboise writes quickly and instinctively. His words lean on sound and image rather than explanation. The result is immediate and unvarnished, alternating between frustration and humour.

“I overcrowd mixes and throw in everything I can, but when the songs get properly mixed, I realize the core was already there,” LaFramboise says.

Slather On The Honey is not the album that was supposed to be made. It is the one that had to be. A debut born from collapse, it captures Clotheslines from Hell finding a voice in the wreckage and turning it into something undeniable.

Today, Katie Tupper announces her debut album Greyhound, arriving on January 21, 2026, with the release of her new single “Right Hand Man.” Often receiving comparisons to Olivia Dean and Charlotte Day Wilson, Tupper’s smoky alto voice wraps together soul, indie and alternative R&B with just a touch of folky twang. Born in Saskatoon, Greyhound will bring the prairie roots of Tupper’s past to meet the blended and expanded worldview of her present.

On her upcoming debut, Tupper shares, “Greyhounds that race on tracks are given these parameters and rabbit decoys to chase that are unreachable. If the front/fastest dog gets close to the decoy it just speeds up to make them run faster. The dogs think they are chasing something reachable but by design it will always be slightly ahead of them. It made me think about my relationships and how I act in the world. I am often both the Greyhound and the decoy — chasing something unreachable and being the thing that cannot be caught.”

Today’s release, “Right Hand Man,” is a funkier offering than we’ve heard from Greyhound’s previous singles. Tupper dives into the crushing and beautiful dichotomy of dependency on another person. She reflects, “This song is about the weight and pressures someone puts on you in a relationship— when you become someone's only source of happiness and they are vocal about it. It becomes a compromising place to be in and clouds your decision making about the relationship. I am a very independent person and all of my relationships have been independent. This song was about the first time I felt someone acting co-dependent towards me and how difficult I found it.”

MORE ABOUT KATIE TUPPER & GREYHOUND
All before releasing a debut record, Tupper has amassed over 22 million streams worldwide and received a JUNO Award nomination for Traditional R&B/Soul Recording of the Year. Ahead of making an official debut in the US, she has sold out shows in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, with more dates to come. Her last single “Tennessee Heat” continues to make its way closer to a million streams on Spotify alone in just over a month.

Greyhound will be released on January 21 via Arts & Crafts. The record was produced by Tupper’s touring partners and frequent collaborators Justice Der (Rachel Bobbitt, Dylan Sinclair) and Felix Fox (BADBADNOTGOOD). The album is a confessional; one of lessons learned and things we leave behind. 

Katie Tupper’s music is led by her deep alto voice and blends soul, indie, alternative, and R&B. Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Tupper's two previous EPs of heartland soul–Towards The End (2022), and Where To Find Me (2023)–have amassed 22 million streams worldwide and a JUNO Award nomination. She’s had a meteoric rise on social media with over 35 million views across short form platforms and now she’s heading into 2026 with her debut album, Greyhound, in hand. This album is a homecoming, a return to her roots with years of new experience. It embraces the expanse of the endless sky and the light of the golden fields with an undercurrent of the sidewalks and skylines she’s spent years calling home.

The album feels like having a drink with your best friend, pointing fingers, admitting guilt, dissecting feelings and situations from the heart. It’s nuanced and honest, but it doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s Tupper metaphorically riding out into the sunset on horseback–a sonic ode to the Saskatchewan plains.
