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.

I’ve been wanting to feature this one as a Song of the Month for a while, but other songs kept popping up to demand my attention.

I’ve been keeping a casual eye on local power pop band Monowhales for a while now. They’ve got the sort of sound I tend to like, but they never quite grabbed me. But they’re pretty new, so I’ve held onto the hope that they might mature into something special.

It’s just one song, but based on Really Wanna Let You Down (somewhat obnoxiously abbreviated as RWLYD), my patience with them may be paying off. This one’s a banger.
