It's The AM's midwinter special—partly inspired by the winter solstice, partly by Christmas. A quiet one even by AM standards, but hopefully it introduces a few new seasonal favourites. Next week, we'll get into the annual AM Gold album-of-the-year roundup. In the meantime, season's greetings and happy holidays to you!Playlist: Mice Parade - Dasher, Prancer, Donner & BlitzenMorgan Greenwood - Snowing SlowVarious Artists, featuring Human Music - Ice PalaceTemporal Waves - Warmth of the Winter SunOmni Gardens - Somewhere In My MemoryRyan Lottermoser - Under the Veil of NightTRBLMKR - Morning MoonYabra - MoonriseLibra Rising - Birds in WinterVic Mars - Pen Y Fan Solstice MixBrown Spirits - Winter SolsticeLöwenzahnhonig - Winter SolsticeBent Spoon Duo - Walking in the AirHermitess - Winter ComethBobby Lee - The Holly Bears the CrownAndrew Bird - FestivusEthan Levy - Winter WaltzClinton St. John - Patterns in the SnowAnimal Collective - Bleak MidwinterSam Wilson - The Moon SongSharron Kraus - Candlemas MoonBjörk Guðmundsdóttir - JólakötturinnBlur - The Wassailing SongFleet Foxes - White Winter HymnalSamara Lubelski - Snowy Meadows IIYoko Ono - Listen, the Snow is FallingThe Orioles - (It's Gonna Be A) Lonely ChristmasIsaac Hayes - The Mistletoe and MeThe Ramsey Lewis Trio - Plum Puddin’The Beach Boys - Morning ChristmasChris Mastheim - Rockin' Around the Christmas TreeChang Loo - Donde Esta Santa ClausSinistrio - The GrinchThe Second Hand Orchestra - Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)Low - Just Like ChristmasThe Raveonettes - SnowstormBeach House - I Do Not Care for the Winter SunKim Gray - Santa Knows (I've Been Bad)Various Artists , featuring Black on White Affair - Auld Lang Syne
A low-key AM, with a throwback to a cult Jean-Claude Vannier soundtrack, and a mix of new sounds, missed 2025 releases, and a handful of classics to get you through your Monday morning. Fair warning: Next week's AM will be a festive one.Playlist: AVI - The Belly of the BeastDalton Dodginghorse - Dome of the SeaYu Su - BonitarRoxymore - MoodifiedFull Moon Bummer - Solar FlareClark - Janus ModalDrummachinemike - Screen Timetstewart - isle of the blestKindly Spoken Thieves - RheostatM83 - Artificial InfinityAndy Boay - If I Ever Come OffModern Nature - ShastaAndy Bell, featuring Dot Allison, Michael Rother - I'm in love...Raleigh - SydSharp Pins - PopafangoutJean-Claude Vannier - Generique debutJean-Claude Vannier - Katmandou 8The Dears - AutonomyExek - SidesteppingMemorials - In the WeedsThe Radiation Flowers - Follow the SunHélène Barbier - WaterTom Verlaine - Without a WordMagic Fig - GoblinMega Bog - Station to StationLaura Groves - YesMen I Trust - Worn DownBodywash - Massif Central - Desert Lake SessionSlowdive - Kisses - Daniel Avery remixThe Haiduks - You're Not AroundBlume - New Dawn RiseUltra Vivid Scene - Mercy Seat (12" Version)
This week's AM puts its own spin on The Scene's recent "25 records for 25 years" article with 25 more Calgary classics that didn't appear on their list. Is it definitive? No. Is it nostalgic? Definitely. But hopefully it's also a reminder of how much is worth celebrating in Calgary's musical scene. Hope you enjoy it.Playlist: Kibrom Birhane - Addis Zemen Lአዲስ ዘመንEquipment Pointed Ankh - A Spectral MathLaurie Torres - Intérieurs - Jeremiah Chiu RemixFloating Points - Corner of My EyeSteve Hauschildt - PyramidalThese New Puritans - The Other SideDisiniblud - It's Change - Daedelus 'the only constant' mixRural Tapes - HypermnesiaHaiku Salut - Sounds Like There's a Pacman Crunching Away At Your HeartMark Mothersbaugh - Drosera RotundifoliaVarious Artists, featuring Laura Palmer - The ProtagonistVailhalen - MoodkillerThe Cape May - Old and Early NumbersAzeda Booth - KensingtonJane Vain & The Dark Matter - Don't Mind UsExtra Happy Ghost!!! - Mash-Up: Neither Being Nor NothingnessL.T.

The first AM of the last month of 2025 hopefully sounds a bit less wintry than the world outside. Tune in for a throwback to Talk Talk's final album, new music from AM favourites like Chad VanGaalen, The Notwist, and Teen Daze, and a mix of genres from the ambient and experimental to the groovy and garage-y. Here's hoping it helps you ease into December.Playlist: Mount Maxwell - Water BabiesC.R.

A mellower episode than usual (which is saying something), although there's some psych-rockers at the end to help wake up. Otherwise, we throw back to Casino Vs Japan's Go Hawaii, detour through some folk and MPB, a little light kosmische, and other sounds to ease you into a sunny but oddly autumnal August Monday.Playlist: Steve Gunn - Pedvale SunrisePneumatic Tubes - Jogger JohnMakaya McCraven - AwayBrandee Younger - Gadabout SeasonDun-Dun Band - Styfrofloam (Kaji)Leifur James - EuphoriaKaitlyn Aurealia Smith - The World Just Got a Little More BigPOSTNAMERS - AgradaLate Again, Heal Mura - KoolbloomNETRVNNER - The WizardKieran Hebden, William Tyler - Spider BalladYuutsu - BurstDonna Thompson - Gardner StreetStrawberry - Kiev Trains (demo)Discovery Zone, John Moods - Change Into One AnotherTitanic - Escarbo dimensionesEl Guincho - BombayJoseph Shabason, Spencer Zahn, Vibrant Matter, Thom Gill - A River A MuseumCasino Versus Japan - It's Very SunnyCasino Versus Japan - Local ForecastCylindricon - Numbers & LettersConcretism - New Governments for a New NationRodrigo Passannanti - Blue SkiesKorb - Om Nom ShibaJagged Jaw - It Will GrowMexican Summer Records, featuring Lau Ro - OrvalhoPedro Mizutani, Skinshape - CanalALZO - It's Time NowVarious Artists, featuring Sam Grassie - Kishor'sLoving - Ask DirectionsMac DeMarco - NightmareFoxwarren - SleepingRyan Bourne - Pink LiteMattias Uneback - New StartPrairiewolf - Demon Cicadas in the NightMidnight Rodeo - Strange EyesDimorphodons - GondwanalandPossum - Ice CreamLiving Hour - WaiterMuncho - Light Shines Through

Aiming for eclecticism this week, with some more experimental sounds alongside the AM's usual offbeat easy listening.

Rainy day music for a drizzly Monday morning, Cozy ambience, cosmic jazz, distorted dream pop, and psychedelic daydreams all take their turn in a mix that's sometimes hopeful, sometimes wallowing, but also oddly pretty and at least a little comforting.
