Congratulations on surviving another high-key dystopian week, in which Jimmy Kimmel’s show was taken off the air<\/a> after some incredibly mild comments about the MAGA movement’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death, and Kneecap got officially barred from entering Canada<\/a>. This is a thing it feels like people say a lot, but freedom of artistic expression seems to be more vital than ever \u2014 which brings us to the week’s best new Canadian music.\u00a0<\/p>\n Odonis Odonis<\/a> are back to preview their first album for Royal Mountain Records, while Magi Merlin<\/a> puts her spin on IDLES’ “POP POP POP.” TEKE::TEKE<\/a> have deluxe-ified 2023’s Hagata<\/i><\/a> with a handful of fresh tracks, and Lights<\/a> teased a similar extension on A6<\/i><\/a> with new single “EDUCATION.”<\/p>\n This week in album releases, we have new LPs from Afternoon Bike Ride<\/a> (Running with Scissors<\/i><\/a>), Leith Ross<\/a> (I Can See the Future<\/i><\/a>), Sarah McLachlan<\/a>, Headstones<\/a>, Yukon Blonde<\/a> and more<\/a>. Elsewhere, Badge \u00c9poque Ensemble offshoot Badge Epoch<\/a> returns and Rich Aucoin<\/a> announces the beginning of the end of his Synthetic<\/i><\/a> series.<\/p>\n Dig into the bountiful treasure trove with The Eh! List<\/i><\/a> below, presented by Mary Brown’s Chicken<\/a> \u2014 all Canadian and proud of it!<\/p>\n
