Kaytranada's hotly-anticipated and star-studded new album drops today (June 7), leading a big week of new releases from Canadian artists including Super Duty Tough Work, Rick White & The Sadies, Bobby Bazini and more.

Some notable artists have also recently announced new albums, including Jim Cuddy, Twin Flames and Klô Pelgag.


See the full calendar below, after our Album of the Week.

Album Of The Week: Kaytranada, Timeless

It is hard to believe that Timeless is only the third full-length album release from Montreal producer Kaytranada. His discography may be small, but his reputation, both at home and internationally, is now huge, thanks in part to two Grammy awards and a coveted Polaris Music Prize (2016). No wonder then that anticipation for this new album has been feverish, fuelled in part by the star-studded collaborations it features. Check this for just a partial list: Thundercat, Childish Gambino, Channel Tres, PinkPantheress, Tinashe and Anderson .Paak, plus Canadians Rochelle Jordan, Lou Phelps and Charlotte Day Wilson. The diverse set of artists confirms Kaytranada’s musical adventurousness, skipping across genres with ease. This generous 21-song collection delivers a sumptuous sonic feast.

Tim Leiweke to Step Down as OVG’s CEO After Being Criminally Indicted for Bid-Rigging

The government accuses Leiweke of orchestrating a "conspiracy to rig the bidding process" to win a contract to build and operate the Moody Center in Austin.

Tim Leiweke, one of the most accomplished CEOs in the live entertainment and facilities business, announced today that he is stepping down as CEO of Oak View Group (OVG) after being indicted by the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division for bid-rigging related to the company’s 2017 contract to build the Moody Center Arena in Austin.

On Wednesday (July 9), a federal grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas returned an indictment against Leiweke, alleging he orchestrated a “conspiracy to rig the bidding process for an arena at a public university in Austin, Texas.” Authorities say Leiweke conspired with the chief executive of Legends Hospitality to rig the bidding for the construction and management of Austin’s $338 million, 19,000-seat Moody Center.
