by Jeremy Mersereau

Vancouver music (and Nardwuar) focused institutions Mint Records and CiTR 101.9 FM have teamed up for fourth time in as many years to bring you the newest in their series of joint compilations showcasing the best of rising and risen West Coast acts: CiTR Pop Alliance Vol. 4.

The fourth edition of the Pop Alliance series boasts fresh coastal talent from groove psychonauts Cult Babies, pop dreamer Morning Coup, and punk firebrands Poor Form, among many others. The vinyl edition of the comp in a limited edition of 500 also features two exclusive songs from Ora Cogan and The Shilohs.

Proceeds from the record will go towards CiTR, the local campus and community radio station as part of their annual Fundrive, which runs from February 25th to March 4.

Stream the comp in full below, and if you’re near Vancouver, catch the LP release party/Fundrive Finale on Friday, March 4th at the Hindenburg.
