Flowers. Beautiful Life Volume 2<\/strong><\/a>
\nJimmy Greene
\n\u201cTenor sax great Jimmy Greene continues to be a beacon of strength as he channels his grief of losing a child to gun violence into some of the most vibrant, lyrical jazz coming out of America today.\u00a0“Flowers: Beautiful Life, Volume 2”<\/em>\u00a0is a gorgeous testament to the vibrancy of his late daughter, 6-year-old Ana M\u00e1rquez-Greene, which relishes in the playful energy of childhood with the assistance of not one but two phenomenal groups.\u201d (Ron Hart)

Bone on Bone<\/strong><\/a>
\nBruce Cockburn
\nBruce Cockburn is one of Canada\u2019s most beloved songwriters, earning 12 Juno Awards and spots in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriter\u2019s Hall of Fame over the course of his storied career, which spans nearly five decades. The new collection of songs, produced by Colin Linden, touches on many subjects close to Cockburn\u2019s heart, including the poet Al Purdy, life in Trump\u2019s America, and the complexities of personal spirituality.

Pharma (Orange Milk)<\/strong><\/a>
\nNmesh
\n“Experimental and innovative, with equal attention given to the pure musical aspects and the pillaging of old movie clips, commercials, and general media. Perhaps Pharma is about information overload, misplaced nostalgia, and digital decay \u2013 if those phrases mean anything. But the fragments are so fleeting, the tone so transient, it’s hard to say if the album embodies this paralytic postmodern ambivalence, or just sidesteps it altogether. Listen to this thing. It’s a goddamn psychedelic album. It concerns itself with memory, but these memories are indelibly glossed over, redacted, and memed into a higher dimension. This is your brain on drugs in 2017.”
\nVapor Memory, August 2017<\/p>\n

The Animal Spirits (Border Community)<\/strong><\/a>
\nJames Holden & The Animal Spirits
\nProgressive electronic dance music. Long-term collaborators Etienne Jaumet of Zombie and Tom Page of RocketNumberNine are among the members of the Animal Spirits chosen by British indie prodigy James Holden, as are Marcus Hamblett, Liza Bec and Lascelle Gordon, mingling synth with natural sounds in a giddy maelstrom of cosmic prog, krautrock, techno and psych-folk.

Diamonds and Demons\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>
\nNessi Gomes
\nBorn on the tiny Island of Guernsey to a Portuguese family, British singer- songwriter Nessi Gomes channels influences from both sides of her ethnicity, blending the essence of the traditional, emotional and \u2018larger than life\u2019 Fado folk music with British contemporary inspiration. Her quirky and emotive voice reflects a brutally honest inner world where shadows and hope, sanity and insanity dance magically together; where mysteries are unveiled.
