Are you smelling the salt air? The rust on your door? That's August, baby! Canadian artists are ushering in the month with another slate of the week's best new music that is undeniably impressive, even if it's not "Guess featuring Billie Eilish."

Jonah Yano contemplates love languages on the latest preview of Jonah Yano & the Heavy Loop, and Les Hay Babies want you to be proud of your roots. The OBGMS also join forces with SATE, helping each other face the strange on new single "CHANGES."

This week in album releases, the big story is Orville Peck's comeback album, Stampede — a collaborative collection of duets with a wide array of artists — finally arriving in its entirety.

Elsewhere, Sufferin Mall and Caribou know you won't "regret" cranking up the "Volume" on their dance-y new tracks. Janette King, Doohickey Cubicle, Nap Eyes and Capitol have all announced new albums with noteworthy preview singles, while Dan Mangan has reimagined Being Somewhere as a mixtape.

Give your playlist a refresh and start the month off on the right note with The Eh! List below, presented by Mary Brown's Chicken — all Canadian and proud of it!
