...the label, that is. Canadien singer-songwriter
Gentleman Reg (a.k.a
Reg Vermue) has signed with Canadien label
Arts & Crafts. We all love stuff coming out of Canada these days, and GR is no different: refreshing indie-pop, with jang-ly guitars, tambourines, and tunes on the cusp of radio-friendly without being too top-40 for the scene.
Reg will spend Thursday night impressing the New York crowd at
The Mercury Lounge, supporting Broken Social Scene Presents: Brendan Canning's CD Release. He's been a guest vocalist for BSS, so it's no surprise he'll be making an appearance at
Siren Fest this weekend. Maybe we'll bump into him (we'll be there too!).For now, we'll look forward to the soon-ish release of
Jet Black, his next record (and his first release in the US). -
