Illustrious pop-twisting duo Fur Trade – the ambitious collaboration between four-time JUNO nominee Steve Bays and Parker Bossley – are excited to announce their new LP Dark Celebration, a ten-song tell-all of happiness and heartbreak to be released September 22 via their new label home, Light Organ Records. Alongside the LP announcement, the band shares a new single and video for “Signature Moves”, an infectious track that unveils its intricate design layer by layer as it builds to an explosive dance chorus.“Signature Moves” joins the previously shared indie-sleaze glam rock “LOL Trash”, and 80s city pop anthem “Make it to the Morning”.
17-year-old indie prodigy AVIV has just released the music video for “Blue Eyed Boy,” her new single portraying the evolution of a 300-day rollercoaster relationship that started with excitement and ended with pure emptiness. The tempo and melody emulates those varying up and down stages, beginning with a slow mystifying rhythm representing the exhilaration of discovery and lust. It speeds up to encapsulate the thrill, anxiety, and complexity of sustaining the relationship and finally returns to a slow sedated ending, leading to a sad demise. “I was left with a huge void, only remaining with stoic, yet beautiful blue eyes,” AVIV reflects.
