Dear Rouge is one of those bands I’m always glad to see putting out new stuff. Their music is fun, and while admittedly I don’t know a whole lot about them, they’ve always given me the vibe of being very nice, wholesome people. I think the fact they’re a husband and wife team is cute.

Their latest single, Gimme Spirit, is about returning to their roots, and appropriately, it sounds like something that could have been on their first album. Like most of their stuff, it’s nothing revolutionary, but it’s nice, and it makes you feel good.

Time for some more CanCon. This is probably my favourite Sloan song. Leave it to me to pick a super melancholy song from a band mainly known for being fun and upbeat.
