Halifax rock/Americana outfit Newbridge returns with Past Lives, a richly woven album rooted in storytelling and East Coast tradition. Its focus track, “Iroquois,” captures the heart of the record—a folk-infused reflection on longing, love, and the spaces between. Inspired by a summer spent in Iroquois, Ontario, and shaped by the Maritimes’ seafaring spirit, the song speaks to the journey of those who leave home in search of something more. With warm Nashville production and harmonies from Shannon McNally, “Iroquois” blends Canadiana and Americana with the emotional weight of lived experience. Hear music via this article.

Emerging Toronto-based singer-songwriter ZOË FERRIS released her debut EP Pushing Daisies on April 4th on all major platforms. “Pushing Daisies” just might be the catchiest pop song of the present day that isn’t written and performed by someone named Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, or Carly Rae Jepsen. Like those pure-pop singer-songwriters, Zoë Ferris transforms heartbreak into a sweet sonic confection. On “Pushing Daisies,” buoyed up by sparkling electric guitars and gorgeous, melodic three-part vocal harmonies, she balances the inevitable, impending, long-delayed end of a romantic relationship against the attempt to wring as much love and joy as possible out of it before that happens.
