Very raw and wonderfully self indulgent, Elizabeth Anka Vajagic delivers a fantastically dark album.

Canada’s best kept secret. Possibly.
Providing DRM free MP3s and FLAC files from a shed load of independent labels.
Fiest, Basia Bulat, Julie Doiron, Katie Stelmanis, Wendy McNeill, the list goes on and on.
They even do a downloadable mp3 sampler collection for free now and again.
It’s the future.

The Canadian singer/pianist is back with a great album. It did take a few listens to grow on me, but most of her albums do.
Her website has a built in store, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable. Pop over and get ordering.

I must have played this to death in the 90’s as I haven’t listened to it for years.
Quite refreshing to give it another airing. (Thanks for the reminder R).
It holds up very well indeed.
If you liked this and haven’t tried ‘Jagged Little Pill Acoustic’ you really should.
New album due out May 2008. Cool.

As downbeat as Julie can be she always has a sense of humour.
Real life lyrics and slo-fi music to take it easy to.
Having said that, this is a bit more upbeat than her previous releases such as Goodnight Nobody and Heart and Crime.

A strange collection of tracks that really works. All bouncy happy springtime sounds, then it goes a bit psychedelically winter, then bouncy summer, then Autumnal… well something like that.
I really like it as a debut release.
Great writing and a great voice.

All around fun girl Sarah Slean is meant to be awesome live, but I have not had the chance yet.
Some similarities to Regina Spektor from this talented Canadian.
This track is from her 2002 CD Night Bugs. A new album is scheduled for release in early 2008. Bring that one on as soon as please!

Last years solo release from Emily is a great album. Slow paced but fulsome.
She was previously in Metric who I am also a big fan of.

Canadian Leslie Feist is your Alt-folk kinda girl. Her current CD “The Reminder” is a bit more upbeat than her 2004 “Let It Die” which I love. Her 2006 remix album “Open Season” is also worth checking out.
