17-year-old indie pop prodigy AVIV has released an introspective new single titled “Jimmy’s House” for which Wonderland Magazine proclaims, “Themes of jealousy and disappointment are told with such sincerity and intimacy, evoking deep emotion in anyone who listens. Writing relatable concepts with far reaching sounds, AVIV lets people into her world — and they’re bound to stick around.” Produced by Robbie Lackritz (Peach Pit, Alvvays, Feist, Bahamas) and co-written with Jackson Phillips (also known as Day Wave), it’s filmed in an unexpected setting—an alpaca farm—and accompanied by a music video directed by Ryan Faist, also known as the artist boy wonder. She is currently on the road with joan and Hariette on a North American tour that stops in Toronto tonight at the Velvet Underground. Tickets are available HERE.
Revered indie rock outfit Jane’s Party release “Ships On An Ocean” today, their first single following the 2022 release of their LP, Live Again. They also announce a Toronto show on June 1 with Ferraro, presented by Indie88 at Horseshoe Tavern. Tickets are available HERE. The song title pays homage to the line “ships that pass in the night,” from the poem “Tales of a Wayside Inn” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Tom Ionesu (guitar/vocals) found inspiration in “the idea that we can come so close to one another for a brief period of time, and then just sail off into the night. I thought it really captured a lethargic and hopeless feeling that the main character in the song takes on. The metaphor helped me get inside that perspective and to write from that place.”

The Franklin Electric, led by talented singer-songwriter Jon Matte, release “Warning Signs” along with the official video today; the third single from Oh Brother, out June 30th. He explains that “‘Warning Signs’ is about paying attention to life and listening to the signs. It could be a feeling we have, a circumstance or situation that keeps reoccurring trying to tell us something. Trusting these signs and allowing change instead of ignoring them and resisting change.”
