Hear the Week's Best New Canadian Music: Mustafa, Allie X, Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Valley

Snotty Nose Rez Kids are both speaking directly to us — "Whole team look like the A-list Eh! List" — and confusing us deeply with a line about Kanye on their latest preview of Red Future, "LET YA HAIR DOWN." Meanwhile, Mustafa mourns an "Old Life" and Allie X recruits Empress Of for a remix of "Galina" from Girl with No Face.

It's a loaded week in album releases, with Valley revelling in the magic of having finally arrived at a long sought-after feeling on Water the Flowers, Pray for a Garden, and Anciients likewise reemerging from the gauntlet stronger than ever with Beyond the Reach of the Sun. There's also new records from Ghostkeeper and Marianas Trench, as well as an EP from the OBGMs and Dan Mangan's Being Elsewhere Mix CD.

Kim Beggs, Jennifer Castle, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Caribou, Lubalin, SHEBAD

with The Eh! List, presented by Mary Brown's Chicken — all Canadian and proud of it!
