Lou Reed infused his music with an art-pop edge and paved the groundwork for alternative music for generations to come. This February, Art of Time Ensemble celebrates Reed's lasting legacy through a Virtually Live concert featuring performances from of our 2015 show, Magic and Loss: A Tribute to Lou Reed, available for free streaming on YouTube from February 4th at 7:30pm through February 7th at 7:30pm.

Toronto experimental pop group Bernice will release the their album Puff LP: In the air without a shape this Friday, but first they share an early stream of the record. Puff: LP In the air without a shape – the minimalist follow-up to 2017's maximalist, Grammy Award-winner Shawn Everett-produced Puff EP – has been received with critical acclaim from its first single, “Glue”, which Stereogum lauded as both “gorgeous” and “surprising” and Pitchfork praised, noting that though Bernice's enigmatic sound is difficult to categorize with traditional genre labels, “reinvention continues to be one of few constants in Bernice's music, and they're all the more interesting for it,” through the latest single “He's The Moon,” grabbing the attention of the New York Times who proclaimed it to be “a monument to ephemerality.”
