In its stead? A new, more robust rhythm section, thanks to Matty Grace on bass and Meg Yoshida on drums. It’s the perfect foil for the sugar rush of Song’s vocals, and helps both band and listener make good on the promise of dancing your worries away. I think we all want to do something that is nice, instead of cool,” Song told The Coast back in 2016. “At the beginning of this, the concept was not to try to be cool, because if everybody was trying to be nice, the world would be a better place. Five years and three Century Egg albums later, it’s a vision worth holding and humming along to.

As we head into Mother s Day weekend, make mama proud by getting up to speed on the best new Canadian music of the week. (You ve got to start somewhere, right?)
This week s playlist includes the newly-released opening track of Backxwash s forthcoming album, as well as fresh tracks from Emanuel, Night Lovell, Donovan Woods (featuring Aoife O Donovan), Alex Porat, I M U R, Alyson McNarma and more.
In this eclectic mix, we have covers of some classics from Nap Eyes (Green Day), No Joy (Deftones) and Vanille (The Rolling Stones). You can also hear Charles Spearin s guided meditation-esque transmission to his teenage kids, as well as highlights from the new Fiver, Paul Jacobs, Century Egg and Sam Tudor records.
Little Piece of Hair is a joyful rebellion for those trapped in their minds. With most people confined to their homes, too, the six-song EP provides sweet release for all their pent-up energy. The Halifax quartet project their exuberant, rough-around-the-edges racket in an attempt to bring down the mental and physical walls around them.
Like Century Egg s 2020 EP,
We Can Play, their latest offering contains no shortage of earworms. Shane Keyu Song s voice still bobs atop Robert Drisdelle s thick-cut and cutting guitar lines like a buoy behind a speeding boat. But on
Little Piece of Hair, the band s new rhythm section, drummer Meg Yoshida (Not You) and bassist Matty Grace (Cluttered, Future Girls), steers Century Egg in a heavier direction.

With a flight time of just below five hours, Taiwan is a country many of us Singaporeans love to travel to. One of Taiwan’s greatest pull is the amazing food ranging from rich braised pork rice (lu rou fan) and crispy fried chicken to beef noodles and oyster mee sua.
Of course, we can’t forget how Taiwan gave us bubble tea as well. And while we still can’t travel abroad (just a little while more hopefully!), we can still satisfy our cravings at these Taiwanese restaurants found in Singapore.
