Winnipeg’s Royal Canoe are set to release their new album, Waver, on January 25 via Paper Bag Records. Take a listen to “RAYZ” from the forthcoming release.
“Whenever we begin working on a new album we throw everything out, even if it worked last time, just so we have no chance to rest on our laurels,” says singer Matt Peters, “On Waver we set out to create leaner arrangements and clearer melodies – less between us and the listener.”
Barely keeping up here, but here’s what I managed to put together for the Best Of June.
Check out new music from Rationale, Gypsy & The Cat, Peter Bjorn and John along with IMF newcomers Krief and Maggie Rogers.

Take a look at the video for Royal Canoe’s “Somersault”. Directed by Nathan Boey and choreographed by Kaja Irwin, the song is from the Winnipeg sextet’s highly anticipated new album Something Got Lost Between Here and the Orbit, out September 16 via Nevado Music.
Royal Canoe‘s Matt Peters says of the video “When you’re creating something, the end result is pretty much all anyone else sees or hears. But running invisibly underneath the finished product are all of the hours you spent in your bedroom struggling to find the right melody, or the planning that went into executing an idea correctly.” Peters also remarked: “This behind-the-scenes work and even the abandoned ideas that never go anywhere have their own value, especially to the artist, and they often bring as much to the story as the polished result.”
