THE LAST GLOWING BEAVER WOLF
EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC AT SPACE)DOXA, GRAFFITTI GALLERY RYAN HAUGHEY Winnipeg’s music community can sometimes seem lacking in experimental music, but Greg Hanec looks to bring experimental music to its full potential with space)doxa, a series of live events held at Graffiti Gallery. The space at Graffiti Gallery is a large area with catwalks, staircases, and no central stage. All of the groups and artists can set up in different spaces at once all over the room so the audience can move throughout the space over the course of a show. space)doxa showcases experimental and free form music, but does not exclude more standard musical acts. It is also home to many multimedia acts as well.
04 Stylus Magazine June / July 2019
ALL PHOTOS: SAMUEL FRECHETTE, eclectACOUSTIC 2014 “It was a way to mix and match singers and songwriters with experimental acts. If you came to a show here you might see a pop band, then some kind of drone experimental thing, and then you might have an electronic act,” Hanec says. “It’s a place to really experiment with ideas. You might try something for the first time and it might be a bust or it might be really cool. It’s a place where you’re allowed to fail, but at least you’re trying to do something new.” space)doxa does an annual themed show called eclectACOUSTIC, an all acoustic show. In the past there were acts that involved making music with
balloons, putting tape on railings and ripping it off. Hanec also adds that he is open to creating and designing shows with anyone who is interested. “That’s truly sound art. Very often with sound art you don’t use conventional instruments, either you use unconventional instruments or you create your own instrument,” Hanec says. The next eclectACOUSTIC will be on Saturday, July 6, and will feature acts such as jazz trombonist Jeff Presslaff, chamber punk ensemble Savant Flaneur, and Greg Hanec’s own freeform jazz group Suture.

There’s a little neighborhood off of the Pembina Highway that looks like cottage country. It’s already lush with green – a nice sight to see after another Winnipeg winter. Urban Vacation’s practice space is located on this quiet street not too far from the never-ending hullabaloo of construction and hurried car drivers. This space is a basement in the lead singer’s childhood home. It was the place with the most instruments in one room, and as generous as lead singer Isaac Tate’s parents were to let them use it, practices weren’t without the usual noise complaints. (1) Tate’s mother used to run a plant stand back in the day and like any other proper gardening aficionado, she has books dedicated to the art throughout the home. One of these books in particular, Success with Houseplants, is the inspiration for the name of the band’s newest album. It’s less a book, and more of a thick binder. (2)(3) If you’re like me and you suck at taking care of plants, there is a chapter on plants that don’t die. Over time, little bits of equipment slowly started accumulating, like the omnichord, a tape machine and bells. Probably the most prominent feature of their practice space is the out-of-tune grand piano, worn and chipped with years of abuse. (4) Of course, there’s also the typical Winnipeg family home stuff like the beheaded bobble head of Ondrej Pavelec (5) and a Garfield mug (6) Tate made in elementary school. The real tragedy of the space is the missing organ that was used on the album. Unfortunately, it met its demise last Nuit Blanche when it was used for an installation and found a new home at the dump. The band doesn’t practice here as much as they used to, but it’s still where the place where they record and keep their gear. It’s kind of like a “sanctuary for chaos,” Isaac says.

The Comet is Coming
CHRIS BRYSON
This year on Sunday night of the TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival, The Cube in Old Martket Square might just lift-off. With a killer reputation and cosmic trance grooves, The Comet is Coming is set to close out the festival’s “The New Legends” Sunday night. The trio are part of a burgeoning London, UK scene that’s been pushing the boundaries of jazz. The band melds funk, psychedelic, and electronic rock elements into a cosmic space voyage that’ll have people dancing and grooving away. Stylus contributor Chris Bryson caught up with Maxwell Hallett, aka Betamax Killer, drummer of The Comet is Coming to discuss the band’s new album, inspirations, and future plans. Stylus: The Comet is Coming has a busy touring schedule for 2019 and you’ll be coming here for the Winnipeg Jazz Festival. What are some of the things you’re looking forward to most about touring this year? Betamax Killer (BK): Firstly, I’m looking forward to getting to see new places I might not otherwise get to visit. Meeting new people, trying new food, finding little places to hang out and drink fresh juice. But I’m always looking forward to the stage, and getting the opportunity to develop the music live, our show is always evolving when we are on the road. There are musical discoveries to experience.

playing live in front of people for the first time is always like I can hear the sound in a fresh way. Stylus: With making the new album, Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery, what vision did you have in mind for what you wanted it to sound like and represent? BK: I think we all wanted to go a little bit deeper and find an expression that could resonate with people who are trying to understand what on earth is happening. There is abundant information in our daily lives, and modern life is a strange thing to find yourself in. So, we wanted to make music that can centre oneself, give meaning, give feeling and encourage contemplation. For this we had to trust our intuition in the studio and allow spontaneous sound to guide our process so that the sound is free. Free to reflect the world back at us. Stylus: Who and/or what are some of the influences that contributed to the making of the new album? BK: We have been surrounded by so many creative inspiring people it is no good to mention them all. But we have to mention everyone who’s been busy in the Total Refreshment Centre, as it has been a real hub of activity that seems to inspire all who pass through to seek more from their art. We record all our music there as the vibe is strong.
Stylus: When creating music whether it be live or in the studio, what kind of effect are you hoping it will have on the listener? BK: I hope that the listener can feel a sense of adventure and then apply this feeling to their own journey. We all need to be brave sometimes and we are all on this planet together. For the survival of the planet we need to find ways we can make a difference, but we also need to be able to handle the future and imagine it how we would like it to be better. If anything has given me the strength and spirit to make positive action it has been music. Stylus: What does the band have planned for after touring this year? Will there be a return to the studio? BK: Yes, we are planning to drop an EP some point this year and then we will be hitting the studio to make another new album. As always we will be creating the music collaboratively throughout the recording session so who knows where we will be at then, but I have a feeling things are about to go far beyond anything we have imagined before. Catch The Comet is Coming at The Cube in Old Market Square at 11 p.m. on Sunday, June 23.

Jaywood PHOTO: ADAM KELLY
Time is Jeremy Haywood-Smith’s coming of age story. Haywood-Smith’s dreamy psychedelic funk-pop project JayWood has been developing over the years into new creative realms, taking forms meant to get people moving.
For the new JayWood album, Time, HaywoodSmith evolved it in concept form. “It’s kind of like a radio surfing channel thing,” says Haywood-Smith. “I broke the album into three different sections. One of them is like the stuff I’m used to doing. The next one is really funky, really poppy, really dance-y songs. And the next one is very shoegaze-y, very field
sounding. And within those change-ups there’s little skits here and there.” With such a complex concept and diverse sounds and elements cohesiveness can be difficult, but Haywood-Smith has been working hard to make sure everything fits. “That’s the reason it’s been taking me so long to mix it, if you will,” says Haywood-Smith. “Because I wrote the album like a script, so it’s like rather than just having the songs and putting them on a track list, it’s like no this song has to be here and it has to be this length and it needs to go into this.” Haywood-Smith calls Time a very inward album. It moves from his experiences as an angsty teenager to who he is now, leaving things on a cliff-hanger that matches the inevitability of life, because he, like anybody, doesn’t know exactly what the future holds. Time was recorded in the studio which HaywoodSmith says gives it a crisper quality. Normally he would do all the instrumentation himself but says that because he was out of practice with drums, he let others fill the role. The album features three drummers, all of which have played with JayWood in the past, that Haywood-Smith says works well with the concept through the different sound and feeling of the players. The album’s cover is another indicator of where Haywood-Smith wants to take JayWood in the future. The owl masked person on the album cover is supposed to be the real-life representation of the band’s logo character. Haywood-Smith and an old roommate came up with the idea of bringing the character to life. So Haywood-Smith says he kind of followed the format of the Gorillaz, one of his favourite bands, converting 2-D into 3-D and then bringing the characters into real life. After releasing the album this year HaywoodSmith wants to start making videos. “I have no video content, but I want to use the album to make video content. I want to really ride on that. I just want to have so much fun. I want to be like the Jordan Peele of music videos,” says Haywood-Smith. “The way he makes movies is just so very, like yeah, I get that vibe and that’s what I’m trying to do.” Aside from Time’s album release, JayWood is set to play the Real Love Summer Fest for the first time this year, and will be returning a second time to Calgary’s Sled Island. Haywood-Smith also hopes to work out a dream collaboration with local hip-hop group 3Peat. With Time ready for the world, Haywood-Smith is happy it’s done so he can start writing new music and says that he needed this album’s completion to mark the end of an era, so he can move onto new branches of stories and emotions. JayWood will be releasing Time on Friday, June 7 at the Good Will Social Club with support from local acts ATLAAS and Arenas.

NOTABLE NEW RELEASES Father of the Bride is so zealously detailed and meticulously contoured that you easily sink into its inventions: the whirl of country picking, surf-guitar twang, classical interludes, loopy hip-hop, Soweto-like bounce and AutoTunedBeach Boys-style chorale. A shaggy, sprawling double album all about rebirth, contentment, and the reclamation of light.
VAMPIRE WEEKEND Father of the Bride
CD / LP
The third album from the Brooklyn quartet is an intimate and surreal experience, a true masterpiece of folk music from a band working together at the highest level. The name U.F.O.F. suggests a connection to the unknown both within and without, and when Adrianne Lenker sings of being called through a portal on “Jenni,” she beckons you, too.
BIG THIEF UFOF
We stock Folk Festival performers all year ‘round.
CD / LP Inviting friends such as Lisa Hannigan, Sharon Van Etten and others, this feels like a whole new band at times. The National have always been more than just five guys in a room, but now more than ever this symbiosis has completely refreshed the dynamic. It proves that the National are not the band you thought they were. They’re way more than that.

Winnipeg State of Mind NIGEL WEBBER “Years of fears but yo my foes couldn’t bear” - Killah Priest Politics and rap have always been intertwined. From Public Enemy to Common to now the ridiculous Kanye West, it has never been hard to find a hiphop artist sharing their political views. But more recently, as hip-hop goes global, real life political issues have been affecting rappers in ways that are emblematic of the direction society is headed. The well documented cases that have the most to offer here are 21 Savage’s deportation and Nipsey Hussle’s murder, as well as the lesser known police shooting of Bay Area rapper Willie Bo. Nipsey Hussle’s murder on March 31, 2019 shook the hip-hop world. Not since the murders of Tupac Shakur and the Notorious BIG in 1996 and ’97, respectively, has a rappers death caused such an outpouring of support and grief from the community. Not that hip-hop hasn’t experienced its share of untimely deaths in recent years. From Mac Miller’s overdose to Prodigy from Mobb Deep’s death from sickle cell anemia complications to the murder of Xxxtentacion, there have been a number of recent high profile and tragic deaths. Those deaths, while mourned heavily, did not have the same resonance as Nipsey’s murder. In part it is the circumstances, Nipsey was at the top of his game. His last album, Victory Lap, had been nominated for a Grammy. Nipsey had established himself as a self-made rapper with no major label deal. In 2013 he gained attention as an unsigned rapper for selling copies of his mixtape, Crenshaw, for 100 dollars each. He made over 100 000$ on that project alone. He was an artist and an entrepreneur, holding down his neighbourhood of Crenshaw in South LA. It is a tragic irony that Nipsey was shot in front of his own store, a building he had bought after selling shirts and CDs out of the trunk of his car in the same parking lot. And while fans around the world mourn his death, it is those people in Crenshaw who have lost their biggest advocate and supporter. Nipsey was a member of, to borrow a phrase from Killer Mike, a street fraternity called the Rolling 60s Crips. Like other rappers like Jay-Z who started their lives in the streets but have become philanthropists, Nipsey wanted to give back to the community he was from.
Nipsey was inspired by Jay-Z, who has quietly paid legal fees for numerous rappers including Meek Mill, to start using his success to help those that needed it. Despite his origins in street life, Nipsey worked hard not to be portrayed with the label of “gang member”. He built bridges between the Crips and their rivals, the Bloods. A culminating moment in that struggle for unity is Nipsey’s video for “Last Time That I Checc’d ft. YG” who is a noted Blood. A single off “Victory Lap,” “Checc’d” is a song in the Scarface ethos of being “self-made from the dribble.” But the video plays on the traditional colours of the Crips and Bloods using a split blue and red set to symbolize the bridging of rivals. 21 Savage blew up in 2016. The Atlanta based rapper’s distinct low, almost monotone voice and slowed down flow stood out in a time and place that was filled with autotune and singing in hip-hop. While his sound was certainly still in the trap genre, his voice set him apart and made him an excellent rapper to feature on a song. His music reflects the street life he grew up experiencing in the harder areas of Atlanta. So the rap world was shocked when 21 Savage was arrested in a joint operation between Atlanta police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for overstaying a visa. As it turns out, 21 Savage was born in England and came to the US as a six year old with his parents. His visa would have expired when he was a teenager but 21 has said he did not even know what a visa was at that time. 21’s predicament places him in the group of young people in the US known as ‘dreamers’. Dreamers have had a rough few years under Trump with many fearing mass deportations and that the high profile case of 21 Savage is a kind of litmus test. 21 was never the most political rapper but in the extended album cut of his song “a lot” 21 raps “been through some things but I couldn’t imagine my kids stuck at the border,” in reference to the US policy of separating children from their parents under the Trump administration. 21 performed the song on Jimmy Fallon in late January and only a few days later he was arrested. ICE has made it a priority to go after anyone who speaks out the injustices they commit and many fear that 21 Savage’s case is an attempt to deter any larger mobilization around the issue. 21 and his lawyers argue that he was attacked
www.ckuw.ca/stylus
for his political statements in “a lot” despite ICE denying the claim. Nonetheless, 21 was jailed for nine days including missing the Grammy’s, where he was scheduled to perform. And there are more potential consequences for 21 Savage. He is facing deportation back to England, a country he hasn’t lived in since the age of six. His own three young children, all US citizens, need to be considered in all of this legal mess too. His current wealth and fame aside, 21’s case is not unlike the average immigration case. He was jailed alongside regular people seeking a better life in the US, only to be jailed by the state. Since his release, 21 has used his platform to speak out against the conditions he witnessed inside the detention facility. Willie Bo is not a name very well known, even in rap circles. But the 20 year old Bay Area rapper had begun making a name for himself regionally. But on the night of February 9th, 2019 he was in his car in a parking lot in a Vallejo, California Taco Bell. He had fallen asleep and allegedly had an unloaded gun on the seat next to him. Before he could even wake up, six police officers arrived and all shot him, killing Willie Bo. The police claimed they were afraid for their lives. Willie is one of 360 people killed by police in the US so far in 2019, after five months. As those numbers show, Willie Bo’s case is not an isolated incident. There have also been more high profile cases of police killing innocent people of colour like that of Michael Brown, Eric Garner or Tamir Rice. Their names are important here because they connect Willie Bo’s murder to the larger movements like Black Lives Matter and campaigns to end mass incarceration. And while celebrity culture allows larger names like Nipsey Hussle and 21 Savage to have more attention paid to them, their unusual position of being famous makes the ordinary cases like Willie’s that much more important to remember. Sadly, no justice or solutions can be found more such complex issues here. Collectively we can look to help smaller artists by buying their music and march, even if it is a 100$ mixtape. Take the example from Jay-Z: you don’t need to draw attention to the good deeds you do.

Listen to: Night Danger Radio Tuesday nights 12-3am
ZOË LEBRUN If you’re lounging about on a Tuesday night and seeking some late-night radio entertainment, then look no further than Night Danger Radio! Broadcasting an eclectic set of music and fun bits of conversation, host Alan C. has got a bit of everything under the sun to suit your listening fancies. We sat down with Alan and chatted about the show’s origins, the perks of late-night radio, and much more! Stylus: Tell us about your show! Alan: Well, we’re music-based, and we’re a little all over the place. We do lots of Canadian stuff, which seems to dominate, we do lots of local. In terms of genres we’ll do just straight rock, we’ll do punk, we’ll do metal, we’ll do garage, pretty much everything! I even do a little bit of old school country, rap, and some jazz and stuff like that. Basically, whatever I think I should put on, I put on. S: How long have you been doing Night Danger Radio? A: It’s just been over a year; I think we just passed our one year anniversary! S: What made you want to start doing radio at CKUW? A: I’ve wanted to do it for a while, so when I got some time, I got into it. I’ve liked late-night radio for a long, long time. I started listening to a CBC show called Brave New Waves when I was a teenager, and that show ran from midnight to six in the morning and I remember that changed my view on radio because they were doing such weird stuff on there and playing bands I’d never heard of, so that was a huge turning point. Then I started listening to CKUW, both daytime and nighttime shows, and then I was like “wow, okay, I wouldn’t mind doing a show”. S: What do you enjoy about hosting a late show? A: There’s basically not a lot of rules after midnight. I believe, if I’m not mistaken, the Can-Con rules don’t even apply, but that doesn’t matter to me, I’d probably hit my Canadian content every show anyways. Just because of Brave New Waves, and some of the guys who are doing shows now, I was attracted to the late-night slots, even though it kind of messes with your mind! I kind of like the no rules thing; I usually have a pretty good idea of what I’m going to play when I go into the studio on a Tuesday night, but there’s a bit of room for just making things up as I go along, and I kind of like just the free-for-all aspect of it. S: If you could have any guest on your show, who would it be?
14 Stylus Magazine June / July 2019
A: My favourite band is The Tragically Hip, so I have to say it would be one of the surviving members of The Hip, so like Paul Langlois, or any of the guys would be cool. However, one of my other favourite bands is The Lowest of the Low and I know they’re just about to release a record and I’m hearing that they’re coming here to Winnipeg; it’s not official or anything but I would love to have one of those guys on, so I think I’m going to give it the old college-radio try [to get them on the show]. S: What influences your music choices for Night Danger Radio? A: I tend to do the show by themes if I can, so like if there’s a band coming to town that I think people should know about, I might do a whole music set with just that band or all the bands on the bill. Holidays like Mother’s Day could be a theme for me; I definitely do an entire Christmas show, a Halloween show, I did a St. Patrick’s Day set … I try to take stuff that’s going on, not only big holidays even, so like I could do themes of Doors Open Winnipeg—with that I could do a bunch of songs about houses, or architecture, or infrastructure! I try to do this because it’s just easier on my brain since I listen to so much music; it’s easier for me to put it into categories for the show. S: What inspired the name of your show? A: The name of the show is actually inspired by two things. There was a local band in Winnipeg called Kittens, and they had an album called The Night Danger Album, and I really liked it. Also, another local band called Hot Live Guys—they don’t exist anymore either, unfortunately—they have a song called Night Danger. So when I was thinking about what I should call the show, I thought, “well my show is in the middle of the night, and that’s a cool song and a really, really cool album”, so that was it! S: What are your top five bands? (or five bands you would strongly recommend to people)? A: Well I guess I’ll go with The Tragically Hip, The Lowest of the Low, and Kittens… and holy there’s so many! I’m going to leave so many bands out here… maybe the Descendents because they’re coming to Winnipeg. I also listen to Devo, the Misfits, and Tom Waits is a massive one for me, I’m just all over the place! I like a lot of local stuff too, so I’m really into Satanic Rights, they’re pretty wicked, that’s probably about it, I could go on for a couple days if you want and I’m probably forgetting a million bands, but *trails off in
laughter*. S: Are there one or two artists that you play on your show frequently? A: I try to avoid that if I can, I try to space it out. Like I said, The Hip is my favourite band, but I definitely don’t play them that often. I try not to, in a way, just so people don’t be like “oh man, all that guy plays is The Hip!” Plus, the host who does Listening Pleasures right before my show does a Tragically Hip song every single show, which is wicked, so I almost feel like she’s taking care of it, and I can just go off and do my own thing! S: It’s sometimes hard to imagine how many people are actually up so late listening to the radio… what is one of the best stories you have involving your audience while hosting? A: The time I got the most amount of phone calls was very early on in the show’s history, this was back on episode ten or eleven. Things weren’t going right, they were actually failing miserably, and I was just a basket case. I went on the air and voiced my frustrations about stuff that wasn’t going right, and all of a sudden, the phone calls were just pouring in, from all kinds of people because I had actually threatened to leave. I was like, “well, I’m just going to put some tunes on and then leave, and we’ll be back next week”, and then the phone lit up and everyone was like, “no man, this is awesome listening to you struggle!” *laughter* I ended up staying and struggling through the rest of the show, but that was funny.

Local Spotlight Brodovsky keeps it simple, it is so, so while “Wasting Time” is quicker paced sweet. Olivia Michalczuk and more acoustic oriented. Hidden throughout the album are Reccomended if you like Barking Dog on many small moving parts that subtly CKUW 95.9 FM build on well-written songs, showing how thoughtful some of the musical decisions are on all of the tracks. Warming’s debut record is fun, emotional, danceable, and musically ingenious. Ryan Haughey Recommended if you listen to: “What’s Up Winnipeg?” on CKUW 95.9 FM
JACOB BRODOVSKY 16 Years Jacob Brodovsky hails from a long line up of moody Manitobans lamenting about (among many other seemingly mundane things,) the cold, dreading the cold, and the hope of spring after many cold months of being cold. Jacob Brodovsky’s 16 Years is reminiscent of hometown heros Christine Fellows, John K. Sampson, and Roger Roger, though the lyricism throughout the songs produces an emotional sneak-attack-effect. Brodvsky starts slow and simple, priming you with practical lyricism and easy listening before building up simple words and phrases into nostalgic shrines he politely nudges over, effectively causing emotional unrest. Brodovsky isn’t afraid to overturn the rocks where you hide emotions and unsaid thoughts. Unfortunately, if you are the same age as Brodovsky, 26-years-old, you realize that you too could be on the edge of a quarter-life-crisis. It is easy to claim Brodovsky’s stories as your own, especially as a Winnipegger. The words, ideas, and themes all seem uniquely like home, his story is our story. His folk-like tunes set to a simple indie track allow his poetry to nestle in to the part of your brain where the sad but happy thoughts live, alongside the sad thoughts that are truly sad thoughts. This first album is a strong effort, a promising solo endeavour, and well-crafted. One qualm would be the album is short and somewhat choppy. Though “Sev” is a beautiful tune about the naivety of youth, it turned in to a love song which is crafted in a way that is not as smooth as the rest of the album. Compared to the quality of the love song “Bachelor Suite,” it begs a comparison, to which “Bachelor Suite” is a stronger song. Of course with poetry, a coherent storyline throughout a body of work is a great touch, with some fluidity or continuity. On the other hand, it is a great indication of Brodovsky’s vast skill level in his poetic abilities, and romantic metaphorical craftsmanship. When
For a band that most would describe as soft or light-hearted, Animal Teeth create an unexpected, overwhelming sense of emotion that resonates throughout their discography. On these sentiments, Nice Cave is some of the best work to date from this group. Daniel Kussy For fans of: Pavement, Foxwarren, Big Star
ANIMAL TEETH Nice Cave Disintegration Records WARMING Warming Finally. If you’ve been eagerly awaiting more music from Warming since “White Lies” was released in early 2018, this is it. After a powerful barrage of singles, Warming’s self-titled album is here, and it’s everything if not more than anticipated. The album starts off with the outdoor ambience of chirping birds as if to say ‘“Welcome,”’ followed up with a fast paced full band groove, introducing listeners to what they should get ready to hear on the rest of the record. A few familiar singles, “White Lies” and “Did It Again” bang off with a bouncy bass and creatively simple progressions. Warming uses a plethora of synthesizer sounds to compliment the vocal and guitar melodies in the most efficient and effective way possible, adding what is necessary to the song at the opportune moments. On “Did It Again,” the build from verse to chorus pays off so well; with a wild yell, a sliding bassline, and a slapping guitar riff, Warming bangs off a series of perfect musical moments. The singles shine throughout the record, but the songs that debut on this release burn just as bright. “Reasons” soars overhead with a catchy vocal hook that is supported by crystal synth tones. “Cut Out” is low-key with a quiet energy, driven by the leadership in the bassline - adding instrumentation where necessary. “Walker” is like a downhill run when the inspirational lyrics repeat, “My home can be where my heart is.” Two standout tracks are the seemingly sibling songs “Dark” and “Wasting Time.” They both reprise the same main progression but each song uses it in a different style to its own highest calibre. A twisted guitar solo tears through the shining synths on “Dark”

Animal Teeth are back with a new collection of music in the form of the Nice Cave EP. Recorded for the most part at Winnipeg’s Collector Studios, Nice Cave focuses on the veteran Winnipeg rock act’s quieter music writing, which could be argued is where the band really bleeds through. Through tracks like “Dada (Springtime)” and “Like a Saint,” Stefan Hodges’ voice carries an anxious softness as if to not over-pronounce his presence. While Ian Ellis’ drumming is firm and thoughtful, its sparseness makes a tense background in each track. The first track of the EP, “Dada (Springtime),” is a melancholic announcement of the end of a brutal winter. It tells the ritual of feeling stupid-happy enough to the point of uncontrollable smiles upon leaving your home without having to put on layers. “And the sidewalks widens as the sun attacks,” sings Hodges, moments before Kathryn Kerr’s saxophone blossoms through the grey atmosphere. Though most of the EP is stripped to the core trio of the group, Kerr also lends her saxophone skills on “Like a Saint,” one of the more fruitful tracks on the record for its crescendo throughout each chorus. “TV Blues” is easily both the slowest and saddest track of the EP. Accompanied by a harmonica and an underlying organ, Hodges laments a life of regret and the reminiscence of innocent nostalgia that the pain of regret can leave, though he closes his eyes at night feeling optimistic. Only a couple of tracks on the EP revisit the bands familiar indie-rock sound. “Dredgeman” allows Hodges to howl over the distortion of his guitar. “Cave,” the closer of the EP, trades the distortion for an acoustic guitar. The melody flows as if it came right out of the ‘60s folk era.
LIVING HOUR Softer Faces Living Hour’s sophomore album has been at the back, front, and all around my mind since it’s release on March 1, 2019, though they have had some singles floating around my brain since January. The artistry on this album is stunning in its simplicity as well as its intricacies. The lyrical clarity on Softer Faces is much stronger than their previous release, which is a blessing, as the lyricism (as simple as it can be in some songs) is complemented effectively by emotion-evoking instrumentation. Who thought you could cry at the lyric “stand still with me like they do on TV,” but in a round with Adam Soloway and Brett Ticzon, vocalist Sam Sarty’s angelic voice picks you up and hovers you just mere inches above the ground. Sarty can make the mundane and insignificant factors of life and love either the most uplifting or heartbreaking thing you can imagine. The band helps by creating a dreamy little package for the lyrics to rest that can leave you in a state of melancholy or soothing content. Soloway and Gil Carroll on guitar have a hypnotizing effect on the listener. The round in “I sink, I sink” you pray is never-ending. Drummer Alex Chochinov is right where he needs to be to steer the ship in the right direction, particularly on the album’s second single, “Water.” Softer Faces stretches the dream pop/ shoegaze genre in different directions in a very subtle way.

to notice things that slipped past you the first time because the album is so fluid. Wait, did they just do a flawless round that floated me to the heavens? Wait, was this bass line so groovy the first time around? Wait, did someone just rip a guitar solo? Wait, did they just break into a psychedelic synthy trumpet part for only 6 seconds in the middle of a song talking about drinking water? As bizarre as this all may sound, it’s not. It’s subtle and beautiful and masterful, especially within its respective genre. Olivia Michalczuk For fans of Space Cadet on CKUW every Wednesday from 4 to 5pm. (This is Gil’s band fyi)
to listen to, and it’s no surprise that the album has earned Roman a Western Canadian Music Award Nomination for Song Writer of the Year. The creative use of background sounds, layered vocals, and space keep the listener engaged for the album’s full length. I’m excited to see how Roman’s music will evolve from here. I would personally love to hear him dig deeper than one night stands and heart aches in the lyrics, and challenge himself to explore different themes. Grace Hrabi Recommended if you like We Build Hits, Saturdays from 6:00pm – 8:00pm. ROYAL CANOE Waver The barriers between indie-rock, pop and R&B have by this point all but disintegrated, and on their newest record, Royal Canoe have decided to fully embrace the hip-hop and R&B sounds that had previously only coloured their lurching alt-rock. It’s an evolution, not
a reinvention, and the move towards a more obvious hip-hop palette feels like a natural and inevitable stop in the band’s journey rather than a complete overhaul of their sound. The album is as busy as ever, with complex lattice-works of counterrhythms, colorful synths, samples and processed guitar. Front person Matt Peters’ voice takes on richer tones as he ricochets within the arrangements, joined by a flurry of voices that include soulful backing chants and a guest spot from Nnamdi Ogbonnaya on the jittery funk of “Ashes, Ashes”. The inclusion of Ogbonnaya’s rap feels like the most obvious sign that this band has officially moved beyond the kaleidoscopic early-2010’s indie of their previous works, dabbling in something tied more to rap’s cadence and rhythm. Many of these songs seem designed to be sampled and rapped over, and though they often feel slightly leaner and more hook-indebted than their previous outings, there’s still plenty of room for brief breakbeats and rhyth-
mic asides. As one of the few bands from a particular place and time that have managed to continually create gripping work, it’s fun to see Royal Canoe expand their sound while retaining what’s kept them apart from the pack for so long. However, it’s difficult to shake the feeling that Waver sounds like the logical conclusion to a certain sound and aesthetic – the endpoint of nearly 10 years as a band. They’ve gotten very good at what they do, but what they do may need to change more dramatically the next time around. Kaelen Bell Reccomended if you like The Gashlycrumb Tinies on CKUW 95.9 FM
ROMAN CLARKE SCORCHER Those who know Roman Clarke as a member of the now defunct Winnipeg trio The Middle Coast will quickly recognize a departure from that style of music as he brings da funk on SCORCHER, Roman’s debut album released this past April that has established his place in the Canadian R&B music scene. The album opens with “Someday,” which was released as a single back in February of this year. The track starts with lush layers of vocals delivering the track’s main message “how much time do I have til I don’t understand what it means to be young”. The intro reminds me of the vocal stylings of 90’s singing groups like Boyz to Men, but with an instrumental arrangement comparable to contemporary artists like John Legend. While this opening song discusses living in the now and not wasting time worrying about things that are out of our control, the writer seems conflicted about this as the majority of the album is spent looking back on previous relationships and decisions, such as the track “I’d Be With You.” Although the lyrics state that the main character is doing fine and isn’t going to go out of his way to “make you wanna come back”, he continues to promise he would “give you anything” if you ever change your mind. The recording quality and production, along with Roman’s excellent musicianship, makes the entire album a pleasure
