Month in Review: January 2025

New Releases:

Peter Dreams - “Forget Yer Name”: On “Forget Yer Name,” whispered regret, cold as stone, sets this game of sonic misdirection in motion. Over soft-shoed tones of muted sax and mellotron, Peter Dreams’ vocals build towards an explosion, a force of nature blast from deep in the soul. Cleansing, cathartic and final, “Forget Yer Name” makes uneasy peace with release. Listen here.

T. Thomason? - “Space”: Beats skip like stones across the ocean in T. Thomason’s new song “Space,” out today. As waves of bubblegum synth wash away the bitter end of a relationship, “Space” offers head-clearing clarity, the perfect soundtrack for a fresh start. Listen here.

The Dead South - “Broken Cowboy” Live at Grand Ole Opry (video): The Dead South share “Broken Cowboy” performed at the Grand Ole Opry in November, 2024. The song, a compelling tale of grit and gravitas (and nearly 20 million streams), is a fan favourite and a fine example of their storytelling chops.
