New Feeling

New Feeling is a national Canadian music-journalism cooperative with current regional and experimental coverage plus a direct no-fee inbox for release, tour, and project information.

New Feeling is a national, distributed multi-stakeholder cooperative of Canadian music journalists and community members. It publishes themed digital issues, reported features, artist interviews, album criticism, regional scene reports and a newsletter while centring emerging artists, overlooked music and scenes outside Canada’s largest media centres. Its July 9, 2026 Slipstream issue covers music-platform infrastructure, Montréal musicians organizing for Palestine, Palestinian-Canadian musician and sound therapist Jeena, Quebec microtonal rock, drone music and Canadian pipe-organ projects. The official contact page designates the cooperative inbox for information about forthcoming releases, tours and projects. The route is direct and has no stated fee, but it does not guarantee assignment, review, inclusion or coverage. New Feeling separately maintains a writer list for future calls for pitches; that contributor process is not presented as an artist-submission route.
