Nova Scotia band Wintersleep has been churning out fantastic Canadian pop rock since the early 2000s. With 3 singles from their new album Hello Hum already online, the June 12th release date for their fifth album is well prepared. Check out two of those tracks below or head over to Spotify to listen to all three of them. The new album is also up for pre-sale on the band’s website.

Former Fleet Foxes drummer J. Tillman is back with his new project Father John Misty. In my opinion, the debut release Fear Fun just may be an “Album Of The Year” frontrunner. Listen to a couple tracks below or you can check out all of the country folk goodness on Spotify.
