[Download] Oh! Canada 14

We are delighted to bring you another installment of our Oh! Canada compilations. This month we kick things off with the welcome return for Braids (who featured on the first Oh! Canada back in 2009 and release their debut album Native Speaker this month). This edition also features some of the many bands we discovered while visiting the East of Canada last year, including pop-jangle mastery from John McKiel and Prince Edward Islands’s Paper Lions, ferocious grunge-blues from husband and wife duo Cursed Arrows, classic pop sounds from Laura Key, and Frederick Squire‘s delicate finger picking.

We also bring you some familiar faces in new forms: Chris Reimer and Matt Flegel of Women join forces with James Cullen for his project Church of The Very Bright Lights, while Friendo sees Michael Wallace (also of Women) step out from behind the drumkit and take to the guitar. Memphis is the side project of Torquil Campbell of Stars, while Sister is the new project of the Gillis sisters of Plumtree.
