May's Recommended Recordings

Saidah Baba Talibah
(S)cream (2011)

This loud and seriously sexy album is the first full length release by Toronto songstress Saidah Baba Talibah, who's been rocking dance floors across the city (backed by a tuba!) to critical acclaim.

Sweatshop Union
United we Fall (2005)

Vancouver's Sweatshop Union have been producing mind-blowing hip hop for over a decade. Their latest EP, "Bill Murray" was released in 2011, and is definitely worth picking up. In the meantime, for a little splash of nostalgia, check out SU's 2005 album, United We Fall.

memoryhouse
The Years (2011)

Guelph's memoryhouse combine stunning vocals and lyric space pop instrumentation into the beautiful 5-song EP, The Years.
