We may be midway through July already, but there’s still plenty of time to add some great new tracks from Montreal artists to your summer playlists. This week brings a new scorcher from FHANG (featuring Mishka Stein of TEKE::TEKE, Patrick Watson and Half Moon Run producer Sam Woywitka), a jangly dance number from Radiant Baby, and a throbbing new track from SUUNS.
Check out all three new tracks below, along with info on each new act’s upcoming releases.
FHANG – King Blame
The third single off FHANG’s upcoming debut LP (August 27, Hidden Ship Records) is a nightmarish descent into darkness and regret fuelled by drugs and bad choices (so, summer in Montreal). Check out the video below, which includes a stopover at Beaubien hotspot Pizza Bouquet.
Radiant Baby – This Dream
The second single off the upcoming bilingual album from Radiant Baby (AKA. Félix Mongeon), “This Dream” is a jangly dance-pop track perfect for long summer nights. The one-shot video was directed by Lara Kaluza and Félix Mongeon. Radiant Baby’s Pantomime album is due on September 24th via Lisbon Lux Records.
SUUNS – C-Thru
SUUNS are back with “C-Thru,” the second single off their upcoming album The Witness, due on September 3 via Secret City / Joyful Noise. The electro-thumper comes complete with a “magical eye” video that the band implores you to “please watch on the highest resolution.” Let us know what you can make out!
