The Sound Affect

In a world of downloadable singles, our hope with this podcast is to look a little deeper at what influences musicians and see the impact an album (as opposed to a single) can have on an artist’s work. The Sound Affect is about discovering (or re-discovering) a record that has influenced a musician. You tell us the record. We will do the legwork to investigate the record and tell the listener some of the basic information. Then we invite an artist in to chat with us about that record. This is the

Edmonton’s Eamon McGrath has been making a name for himself since releasing his debut Wild Dogs in 2008. Ever since then, McGrath has been a non-stop touring machine playing both stripped-down folky solo shows and upbeat punky rock with his band. His 11th record Bells of Hope was released earlier this year. And when he is not recording music, he has also published two books. He is just coming off a tour of Japan and will no doubt be back on the road delivering a hearty blend of Springsteen &

As such, it should be no surprise that the Candian Indie Rock All-Star couldn't pick just one record to chat about on this week's episode. So, join us to hear what Jose says about Neil Young's Tonight's the Night, Lana Del Rey's Ultraviolence, D'Angelo's Black Messiah, and Kraftwerk's Radioactivity.

Named one of Buzzfeed's top 20 artists to watch, her EP Queen/Dom is a "fusion of feel-good pop, moody R&B and soul".

With this week's pick, Beck makes it to a very special club (the only other artist in the club is David Bowie) here at the Sound Affect: The second album club. Like Beck himself, Winnipeg's Royal Canoe has made a career of pushing the line of contemporary indie rock and pop. Lush production and musicianship are cornerstones of this album and have proven a cornerstone of Royal Canoe. So, it should come as no surprise that a band like this would choose Beck's seventh album, 1999's Midnite
