There’s a day for everything now. Case in point: according to daysoftheyear.com<\/a>, today is International Soundcheck Day. A very happy testing, testing; check, check; one-two, one-two to you! You are, in fact, going to want to make sure your volume is turned up appropriately to take in this week’s best new Canadian music.<\/p>\n Softcult<\/a> continue to preview When a Flower Doesn’t Grow<\/i><\/a> with the feathery, atmospheric “Queen of Nothing,” while Aquakultre<\/a> counts down to the arrival of 1783<\/i><\/a> with a soulful ballad entitled “Holy.” Blue Hawaii<\/a> also return to the dance floor with their third single of 2025, “holdsomeone.”<\/p>\n Album releases are finally starting to slow down for the year, but some artists are strong proponents of saving the best for last, so you can dig into new LPs from Loud<\/a> and more<\/a>. (Plus, check out Exclaim!’s Canadian Albums You Might Have Missed<\/a> from the rest of the year!)<\/p>\n We’re tapping on the mic with The Eh! List<\/i><\/a> <\/i>below, presented by Mary Brown’s Chicken<\/a> \u2014 all Canadian and proud of it!<\/p>\n
