About Il a une voix sensible et écorchée semblable à celle de Jeff Buckley. Il a écrit les ballades émouvantes qui composent son premier disque, Inland, à Montréal et à Reykjavik.
Beautiful, heart-wrenching Buckley-ish songs. Bring a shoulder to lean on, and a hand to hold.

About Richi Dhir joue du sitar - tellement plus cool que Jean Leloup - dans ce band pop atmosphérique assez Beatlesque qu'il a formé en 2008 après son départ des High Dials.
A charming mix of time-honoured pop rock and classical Indian music, Elephant Stone calls themselves - wait for it - "Hindi rock."

About Meilleur claviériste is selon NOW, le Polono-Canadien se lance au piano classique avec un premier album solo. Todor (Small Sins, Major Maker) montre aux jeunes indie-rockeurs qu'on peut être smatte ET triper sur Władysław Szpilman.
Having worked with that Broken Social Scene/Stars/Metric crew for a few years, this talented pianist is just releasing a solo album, with guest vocalists Emily Haines (Metric) and Tunde Adebimpe (TV on the Radio). It's a "pop approach" to classical music.

About S'il n'était pas membre d'Holy Fuck, il recevrait une subvention du fédéral. Après l'avoir vu en spectacle et avoir entendu son folk mélancolique et languissant, vous voudrez l'écouter en voiture la nuit, seul. Merci aux bandes rugueuses sur la chaussée.
Neofolk, slowcore endeavour created during downtime from touring with Holy Fuck. Coyotes, filled with haunting musings on acoustic guitar, was released last on vinyl only.

About Elle chante et joue avec beaucoup d'amis (Great Lake Swimmers, Chad Van Gaalen, Sarah Harmer). Quand on entend sa belle voix cristalline sur cette folk mélodique, on comprend pourquoi.
Her debut solo, produced by Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck), is just out on HandDrawnDracula. She has played with Sarah Harmer, The Great Lake Swimmers, Chad Van Gaalen - you get the idea. Beautiful voice, rich accompaniment, and full of Aimee Mann-like loveliness.

About Après quelques tubes avec ses groupes Age of Electric et Limblifter, Ryan Dahle débarque en solo. Son album Irrational Anthems vous conduira dans la simple joie des ballades pop.
A two-decade veteran of the Canadian rock scene, with Age of Electric and Limblifter under his belt, Dalhe is now making catchy, hooky pop that's got that distinctly Vancouverite, New Pornographers feel - another band he's worked closely with.

About Le duo indie rock aux accents pop et parfois psychédéliques roule sa bosse depuis 1989. Brian Borcherdt et des membres de Broken Social Scene (dont Feist) ont déjà fait partie de la bande.
This psychedelic, rock-stravagant spectacle has been a Toronto scene staple since 1989. Seven albums and 20 band members (a Canadian rock who's-who list) later, By Divine brings their psychokinetic soul to Pop.

About Nous sommes impatients de demander à The William Blakes si ça prend vraiment plus de membres qu'Arcade Fire pour jouer un hommage aux Talking Heads à la sauce scandinave.
Their Romantic namesake and the title of their debut record, Wayne Coyne - wacky lead singer of the Flaming Lips - say it all. An imaginative reinterpretation of pop that is both beautiful and undercutting.

About Certains ont décidé de haïr les chasseurs après avoir vu Bambi. Kirk Ramsay a vu le documentaire The Devil and Daniel Johnston et a décidé de jouer de l'anti-folk, seul avec sa guitare.
Understated strumming and earnest vocal delivery make for a gritty brand of folk music that transports to the mysterious world inside Kirk Ramsay's head.

About Son nom a beau être long à prononcer, sa musique va quant à elle droit au but. Inspiré par Modest Mouse, le groupe enfile harmonies vocales et délire musical tellement efficaces qu'on en oublie les 14 ans du batteur.
This indie rock quintet is like an audio ambush; pulsating guitars and drums are joined by synths, tambourine, and glockenspiel seemingly at random. The band's unpredictability just leaves you wanting more.

About Ce quatuor incarne la pureté et la gentillesse presque virginales de l'indie rock canadien. Il fait de belles harmonies vocales et a le profil parfait de l'ami(e) que vos parents veulent recevoir à souper.
Is it okay to call a band "pleasant?" Because we'd definitely like to say that about these Victoria ex-pats. Their rambling riffs and endearing harmonies can't help but win an audience over.

About Il prend son temps pour sortir des albums (son dernier date de 2007), mais peut-on réellement lui en vouloir ? Avec un grand souci du détail, Andrew Rodriguez nous propose de brillantes compositions pop.
Better known as the frontman of '90s Juno-nominated Bodega, over the years Andrew has established himself as part of the Canadian singer/songwriter elite. The result: his five-years-in-the-making indie pop chef d'oeuvre Here Comes The Light.

About Chansons lentes et harmonieuses, mais parfois dissonantes et imprévues. Des textures vous enveloppent et vous plongent dans une atmosphère troublante. L'album Sometimes Water Kills People en convaincra plus d'un du talent de Valleys.
Apocalyptic soundscapes: urban, wintry isolation with a soft underbelly. A next-gen interpretation of Montréal, messy and spontaneous, Valleys are Godspeed for the new millennium.

About Les gens d'Halifax ont tellement des « p'tites gueules bien sympathiques », comme disait Brassens, que même lorsqu'ils jouent de la pop tristounette avec une touche Pavement, il est impossible de se dire qu'ils ne sont pas gentils.
This indie pop quartet claims they "weave together a sound perfect for dancing with the skeletons in the closet." With subdued Pixies-esque vocals over gusting synths and guitars - they're dead right.
