For a while now I've been saying: Canada sneezes, the UK applauds. It's incredible just how much quality music is coming out of that country, which, 10 years ago was only really on the map for being the birthplace of St Joni and the Moaner (Alanis Morrissette). Now you can't stick on iTunes shuffle without hearing something gloriously alt. Canadian every 3 songs. It's one musical meal I'm happy to super-size. [Can't believe I just wrote that. Slay me.]
Gentleman Reg is absolutely worth giving a big round of applause. Partly because, in a predominantly white country, he must be the whitest person that lives there. But have a listen - wow! Of course he's friends with "all that lot" (Owen Pallet, Hidden Cameras, The Organ...), but maybe he needs to exploit those ties more, because he certainly deserves his own spot light. Do do do, try and get to see him.
Gentleman Reg may be in the UK during May...more info when we have it.
