I am *really* enjoying Humans, Purity Ring, Prinze George and Until the Ribbon Breaks. They are stellar electropop-oriented releases and I've been listening to these four a lot in my spare time.
I'm also currently into Radio Radio, an Acadian electro-rap group from Clare, Nova Scotia. Arthur Comeau was their beatmaker, but now he's left the group and he's released a solo album about a year ago (oddly enough released shortly after Radio Radio's latest was released, yet he has production credit on that one too). 3/4 is a decent listen, it's a little bit more laid back but it's still got the nice quirky chiac verses which I as a very enthusiastic linguist very much enjoy :P
Chiac is an English-influenced variety of the French dialect some Acadians speak, mostly around Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Most people would describe it as Franglais.
Here's an example from a Radio Radio track (that gets stuck in my head a LOT):
Out of toutes les couleurs de rainbow, bein moi ej pick la couleur beige!
(Out of all the colours of the rainbow, well, I pick the colour beige!)
Midway through the digitized playlist glitched up and I could no longer play the stuff I wanted to play from there...as a result, I ended up picking a bunch of random CD releases:
- Shaani Cage's track is the most acoustic-oriented release on this setlist, showcasing very organic soul music.
- Milk and Bone luckily fit in well with the rest of the songs on the Jumbalaya setlist, being electropop acts. They're from Montreal (like I said the first time, not Quebec City).
- Mid Pines: some other Jumbalaya host played their songs on air and I liked them...picked it up due to it having a dance/electro label in the CJSF music playlist. The track I ended up playing is *very* experimental-sounding...interesting listen, no? :P
