MP3: Moon King – Icarus
Heh, it seems that every time we post a new Doldrums, a new Moon King is hot on its heels. Maybe we’re just projecting some sibling rivalry here, but it’s fun to imagine. Moon King are releasing Obsession II tonight at The Drake Hotel in Toronto. Officially, you can get your hands on it on April 29th.

MP3: Moon King – Appel
Not to be outdone by his brother and his excellent LP, Moon King just release a new song. In our iTunes, it’s labeled as being from Obsession II, so hopefully we can expect the sequel to last year’s phenomenal EP soon.
The song, significantly less thrashy and loud than a lot of their previous work, makes us think we can expect a more washed-out, shoegazed output from them on their subsequent release. Can’t wait!
Top Songs of 2012: 50-26
2012 has been the strongest year in memory for Canadian electronic pop. Established artists started new electronic projects, amazing new talents appeared seemingly out of nowhere, and one of our shining stars became a superstar recognized the world over. Canada is clearly at the epicenter of the zeitgeist – it’s a testament to the unbelievable talent in this country that we have 100 songs to present to you as the best of the year, and STILL had to exclude so many excellent tracks.
Montreal and Toronto may still have the most representatives of any Canadian city, but dark electro is thriving everywhere, from Halifax to Calgary, Ottawa to Vancouver, and exciting new hotbeds appearing in London, Ontario, and Grande Prairie, Alberta. We’re not too exclusively nationalist here at Silent Shout, so border states (minus NYC) appear too, with artists from Minneapolis, Seattle, and Brattleboro, Vermont making our list.
A huge thank you to all our readers, the folks who attend our events, and the bands that make brilliant music across this land for making 2012 an unforgettable year for us. Here’s to an even bigger 2013 for Canadian electronic music.
