We’re closing out 2017 & moving on to 2018 with PRAISES – EP2 (Jesse of BELIEFS / YI) and
BREEZE – RECORD (Josh of BELIEFS & Kyle of THE SEAMS / WISH).
PRAISES is the solo project of Beliefs co-founder Jesse Crowe. Following the world-wide critical acclaim of Beliefs and the release of her first EP1 as Praises, Jesse Recorded EP2 at Toronto’s Candle Recording Studio with co-producer Josh Korody, Andrew Roy on bass, Robyn Phillips (Vallens) on guitar, and Laura Jane Beach on violin.
BREEZE started as a few sketches in the notebook of songwriter, producer, and engineer Josh Korody. Their dream-pop sound took form soon after with collaborators and friends Kyle Connolly and Shawn Dell joining the band. After a few weeks of rehearsals, the three went into Korody’s Candle Recording Studio in Toronto’s west-end with producer Leon Taheny to record a full length record in 2013.

THE SEAMS share “Lemonade” video directed by Laura-Lynn Petrick via GOLD FLAKE PAINT // Purchase single… HERE
“laced with a nostalgic vein running right through its hazy core – Like some snapshot of summer, the song almost wilts under the weight of winter but such sentiments are diluted by the new video which adds a big dash of charm to the whole piece, somewhat transforming the track in to a wistful and stirring reminder of summer” ~ GOLD FLAKE PAINT

“NEW & NOTEABLE: Jangle pop just like REM used to make from a Toronto indie supergroup” ~ BANDCAMP DAILY
“think 60s pop, think Paisley Underground, think early R.E.M., The Go-Betweens or even those initial Creation Records 45s – Anglophone guitar pop that nods towards its influences while stepping patiently out on its own path, ‘Seeds’ is the sign that bright things are about to occur. Hit play now.” ~ CLASH (UK)
“Members of Toronto indie bands Fake Palms, Elsa, and Darlene Shrugg have converged to create THE SEAMS, a jangle-psyche supergroup in the tradition of Real Estate and nascent Britpop – indulge in the jolly restlessness of their self-titled single The Seams” ~ THE FADER
“Meet The Seams” debut album (cassette, digital) available Oct 28th via Hand Drawn Dracula // pre-order here: goo.gl/V4kY7T
