I’m terribly ill so the write-up will be brief. Here’s a song by off a new album that has been in the making since 2005. It’s finished and set to be released this month sometime. Querkus, a guy-gal duo from Winnipeg, play dark-alternative jazz-infused music that sounds a bit like Portishead. Her voice is beautiful, haunting and as chilly as a snowman’s willy. You definitely won’t be hearing this slow jazz-rock creeper jam on mainstream radio anytime soon. It’s too good for that.

[Pick up their new album, here. Only eight loonies!]
