Music Monday - Sorrey

Something I will always love about the Island is the seemingly endless fount of local talent on the arts and culture scene.  There's just so much creativity bursting forth across this little province and I'm always excited to discover something new.  And so, it seems quite apt to share a tune from dream pop ensemble Sorrey (see a great review on exclaim! here) taken from their EP, Thick as Thieves which will be officially released this coming Thursday.  I have been loving the dreamy pop sounds of Jenn Grant's new AquaAlta project and so when I heard a similar description of Sorrey's music, I was instantly intrigued.  
I definitely enjoyed all of the songs on this debut release. Lead singer Emily Sorrey has a lovely voice, which winds its way beautifully through the synth/instrumental driven melodies. My favourite is the first single, Washington. Have a listen below!

Music Monday: People I Love

This past weekend marked the wrap-up of the Music PEI festivities. Many great island bands and musicians were nominated for awards and there were concerts galore (although the one I'd hoped to go to sold out before I could get tickets = sad) which proves people wrong who say nothing happens on PEI in the winter.. but I digress. I thought it only right to share the winner of the video of the year for this instalment of Music Monday (you may see the other nominees in upcoming posts!), People I Love by English Words, filmed and directed by seriously talented Island filmmaker Millefiore Clarkes. I love this video partly because of the great song, but also because of how perfectly it illustrates the life and fun of summers spent and enjoyed on PEI - so great. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
