The Holocene ~ Scars
When last we checked in with Peter Hamlin (The Holocene), the artist was gleefully pulverizing up old cassette tapes and re-presenting them as modern art. His wife and mum didn’t understand his work, but we did. Fast-forward a season, and

Bruno Bavota ~ La casa sulla Luna

North Atlantic Drift ~ Monuments
The music of Toronto duo North Atlantic Drift rests directly on the border between ambient and post-rock. Sophomore album Monuments won’t get anyone’s head banging, but neither will it allow them to nod off. By straddling both genres, the duo should appeal to fans
