No Joy – ‘More Faithful’: For their third full-length, Canadian shoegazers No Joy decided to bring in Ariel Pink and Chairlift producer Jorge Elbrecht in and the result, as expected, is something that takes the duo down a new sonic path. Rather than the gauzy dream pop of Ariel, however, ‘More Faithful’ hits hard.

Toronto collective Broken Social Scene have unveiled their first new track since 2010.
The song in question is called ‘Golden Facelift’ and has been released as part of Arts & Crafts’ ‘Broadsheet Music: A Year in Review’ project, which features music inspired by news stories this year.
‘Golden Facelift’ is said to focus on the topic of “reclamation and human accountability” and was originally recorded in the sessions for the band’s 2010 album ‘Forgiveness Rock Record’.
“It is a song we as a band all felt strongly about lyrically and musically and we wanted to give it a proper unveiling when the time was right,” the band say in a statement.
“We feel that chance is now as this year draws to a close. 2014 has not been without its beauty, but it has also been a year of incredible brutality and all of humanity has a great deal to answer for. As songwriters and creative artists we want the world to know Broken Social Scene’s aim is to be a voice that will champion underdogs and the idea of goodness on this planet upon which we all take up valuable space.”
