]]> There was a man named Armando from Mexico City who toured Canada with his band The Oats. Armando met a woman named Dawn from Dundas, Ontario. Armando liked Dawn, and Dawn liked Armando. Every so often, Dawn would visit Armando in Mexico City. But each time, Dawn had to leave Mexico City and separating at the airport was a sad and lonely task. The couple wrote songs together when they had the chance.

Dawn and Armando are now married and play together in a band called The Tallest Tree. You can hear their first single, ‘Tree’ right now.

It’s loud and messy and sloppy, somewhere along the same lines as Wavves in its garagey, poppy punky-ness. Billy Moon makes music for summer. Summer is coming. Grab the EP, Young Adult, here.

]]> A bit late to this one but Calgary’s favourite folkster Mike Tod has put aside his solo twang to form part of a 60s-tinged rock band, The Flying Blackbyrds.

The songs have that mix of casual and and growly vocals that bring to mind scenes of parading egos in enclosed and sweaty spaces. The opening track ‘When I Found You’ is the connection between Mike Tod’s solo stuff and the garage band sound before the tempo gradually increases across the release. ‘Break a Ghost Part 2’ is a slow sneering challenge, the prelude to the bar brawl in ‘Part 3’, the same song as Part 2 but sped up to have a swaggering sloppiness, a frantic but loose urgency that doesn’t adhere to any sort of sense outside of whiskey and hot smoky rooms.

We have written about Mike Tod a few times (here and here) and he featured on HI54LOFI’s side of our Canada Day mixtape. If you are as big a fan of him as we are, I’m sure you will enjoy No. 0.
