Recipe from The Lady & Son’s Just Desserts

Canadian band Les Jupes have a new LP out titled ‘Some Kind of Family’. It’s a winning combination of stirring ballads and indie rock tunes. My current favorite is “Bro.Sis”. Fantastic.

“All night it just felt right
Holding the reigns of a hundred horses
So light it just felt right
Riding the waves of unknown forces”

Check out Les Jupes on the band’s Website, where you can buy their music.

Cheers!
