Nine Mile Records (www.ninemilerecords.com) presents Parlour Steps. Powerpop-laden art rock sprinkled with jazz-country twang overlain with harmonious vocal melodies. This is the wide ranging soundscape on the palette of Vancouver indie quintet Parlour Steps. Currently putting the finishing strokes on the follow-up to their fourth studio album, Ambiguoso, Parlour Steps has received rave reviews from such local media as The National Post, 24 Hours, Beyond Robson, The Georgia Straight, Northeast In-Tune and The Nerve Magazine. The as-yet-unnamed fifth album is slated for release on October 13, 2009.
Sitting on a mountainside while visiting the guitarist’s sister’s home on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, the bandmates were provided with the inspiration for what is proving to be a most rewarding listening experience. Instilled in the new songs are wild but playful, vast and deep reflections of life as seen through the eyes of these veterans of the West Coast scene. As with their previous releases, this new recording is entirely produced, recorded and engineered by Parlour Steps. Media support for the new recording will be provided by killbeat Music (www.killbeatmusic.com)
Ambiguoso (released by Nine Mile Records) has been compared favorably to The Arcade Fire and XTC and features the song “Thieves of Memory,” a winner of the world renowned International Songwriting Competition, shining an international spotlight on the band.(www.songwritingcompetition.com/winners.htm)
Formerly a four-piece, the success of Ambiguoso caused the band to re-evaluate their future and the direction they felt their music taking. This process culminated in chief songwriter Caleb Stull (vocals, guitar), Julie Bavalis (vocals, bass), Rees Haynes (guitar) and Robert Linton (drums) deciding on the addition of the fifth and final member, Allyson Mara, on vocals and keyboards.
Exactly the music that a modern, troubled but hopeful world will eat up, Parlour Steps now only needs to reach a wider audience before the world wakes up with these songs in its head. Provocative, thought-inducing but ultimately catchy lyrics reign: “If there is time spread out like endless sheets / Why do I move so urgently, “ from Ambiguoso’s “World As Large.” Introspective and up-to-date for today’s connected public, this line from Ambiguoso’s “What the Lonely Say,” sums up how in-touch Caleb’s words are with today’s fast-evolving crowd of should-be listeners, “Am I reaching you? / We’re growing so very fast / Are you reaching me? / With everyone as their own broadcast.”
Parlour Steps charted in the top fifty played and requested artists in their format in Canada and the U.S. as play on CBC, college radio, combined with AAA Radio play, podcasts and prominent song placements, have introduced the band to a wide audience. Parlour Steps were also heard on the TV productions “ Ex‘s and Oh’s” (2008), “The Guard” (2008), “Whistler” (2007), and the March 2008 Paste Magazine CD.

First of all, I'm not even admitting to knowing this monkey that you are referring to. And secondly, he is a huge liar! Don't believe a word he says! Damn that monkey has a big mouth ... or so I might say if I knew what you were talking about, which I don't. See you in the Big Smoke!
I can't believe that y'all are playing Toronto the night before I get there! Any chance you're staying in town for a day or two after the Cameron House show?

We welcome anyone who wants to write about Canadian music - including musicians, promoters, managers, etc. (We're not the CBC and we exist to promote Canadian music, so conflict of interest is not an issue). If you'd like to chip in on the blog or want to submit stuff for consideration for the podcast get in touch at northbyeastwest at gmail.com
In addition to the artists being played on the podcast, current writers for nxew.ca include fans of music plus journalism students, university radio hosts, and members of Library Voices, Hooded Fang (Tonka & Puma/Daps Duo), Olenka and the Autumn Lovers, Woodhands, the Rural Alberta Advantage, and the Lonely Hunters.
