While some of our writers can be found skating around Trafalgar Square this afternoon (Good luck Shain!), TLOBF are celebrating Canada Day by bringing you Volume 2 of our Oh! Canada compilations featuring the very best of new Canadian talent. There’s some old friends in disguise (Silkken-Laumann feature a familiar vocalist and his room mate, guesses in the comments section!), new material from The Most Serene Republic, Ford Peir and Hannah Georgas, a track from the soon to be reissued Wintersleep back catalogue and a bunch more besides. As ever keep your eyes out for interviews and reviews from featured artists in the coming months in TLOBF’s Oh! Canada Column. There’s even a few nice surprises hidden amongst the links!
Happy Canada Day!
