Little Destroyer’s new album 1134 is out today via Tiny Kingdom. Produced by Howard Redekopp (Mother Mother, Tegan and Sara, The New Pornographers) the blistering collection of tracks sees the enigmatic Vancouver-based threesome at their dramatic grunge-pop best; a powerful sonic explosion of pent-up fury and 00s breezy pop-punk energy of seminal bands like The Kills and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Today, Montréal jazz-rap artist L.Teez unveils his debut full-length album, Studio Blue, via Hydrophonik Records. Coming from rich musical cultures, a French-Canadian father of Algerian Kabyle descent and a Jamaican-Chinese mother, his music and insightful lyrics reflect a distinct identity and unique worldview. L.Teez explains, “The name Studio Blue is an homage to the studio where I recorded my EP (The Index To My Inner Thoughts) while attending Musitechnic. The name is also an homage to the colour ‘blue’ and how it represents music for me. From Blue Note, the world renowned jazz label, to the legendary Miles Davis record Kind of Blue, deeply connecting with me and forever changing my outlook on music and life.”
