Woodpigeon aka Canadian songwriter Mark Andrew Hamilton dropped a new surprise EP that contains b-sides, rarities and remixes from his excellent 2016 album TROUBLE. Without taking anything away from all the gorgeous b-sides and remixes, the biggest treasure is actually the new music video for the lead song Devastating. Lorenz Tröbinger directed the video in Vienna and created something truly beautiful and perpetually moving. How can a video where in a way nothing happens feel like it’s everything. Watch the magnificent video below and grab the whole ep from his Bandcamp. Oh and take a listen to his whole back catalogue while you are there in case you are not yet familiar with it. It’s full of classics or at least should-be classics like Songbook, Die Stadt Muzikanten and Treasury Library Canada.

Dori Freeman released a great self-titled album last year that received a lot of love. Teddy Thompson produced it and the two decided to work together again and the end result is a new equally amazing album called Letters Never Read. She has an incredibly voice and can write beautiful songs where modern folk songwriting gently collides with old appalachian roots music. This opener If I Could Make You My Own is the particular highlight, but the whole thing is really enjoyable.
