Audiopile Review: Transmitter is the third release from local producer Corben for the Hotham Sound imprint, which quickly follows his mini album, Peachland, for the MM Discos imprint from just a few weeks back. While his first two cassettes for Hotham skewed towards ambient, Transmitter reveals another side to Corben....

Audiopile Review: Following up the junkyard IDM wobble of MIDI Janitor’s recent cassette, Hotham dish up their second release for Playback Head, the Brazilian-born/Vancouver-based artist, representing the imprint’s aesthetic of analog-centric home-fi electronica to an absolute tee. That sublimated vision of the natural world realized through a bedroom of knotted...

Audiopile Review: Still riding high from last year’s Bulk Order cassette, also issued via Hotham Sound, Vancouver’s own MIDI Janitor strikes while the iron is hot, pulling more gems from his coffers with another ace set of smeared tonal ambience and upcycled lo-fi IDM. Once again MIDI Janitor hits upon...

When diving into Bevan Smith’s discography, one continuously gets the feeling that the well is bottomless. Whether creating lo-fi soundscapes with Andrew Thomas (Feeling Flying), pastoral IDM in the late 90s style (Aspen), or outsider ambient techno (Signer), he seems to be everywhere at once (we’re not even gonna get...

**CASSETTE EDITION**Mount Maxwell returns with another full length journey into memory, melody, and geography - this time roaming beyond the BC environs of his previous records into a stranger, less knowable country. While still woozily nostalgic in the vein of 'Only Children' and 'The People’s Forest', this outing feels more...

Whether opening for acts like Sun Araw, Goblin, and Acid Mothers Temple, or hunkered over piles of analog gear in their Strathcona studio, the main focus of Vancouver’s V Vecker Ensemble has always been group improvisation. As covid raged through 2020-21 and opportunities for live performance became increasingly scarce, the...

Since immigrating to Canada in 2010, Danish musician Kim Oxlund has kept busy composing a string of award winning film scores with fellow musician Maya Saxell, who he also released two critically acclaimed albums with in the mid 2000s as 'Said the Shark'. But in the quiet nights of 2022,...

Filmed on VHS in 2020, Hudson Glover’s lo-fi film 'Crystal Oscillators' follows the adventures of a clown-like space alien exploring planet earth in search of fuel for his return journey home. Not much happens over the course of the film’s 23 minutes; the alien browses a record store, gets in...

Using a MIDI controller he found in an East Van dumpster, Vancouverite Jonathan Orr makes luminous lo-fi jams reminiscent of early Tobacco and Boards of Canada; every track a smeared mash-up of detuned synth samples and recycled beats from the cheesiest of 90s sample packs. Taking his theoretical cues from...

An illustrator and librarian by day, Montreal artist Fumerolles (Frédérique Duval) uses keyboards, effects boxes and homemade synth modules to craft a uniquely organic and benevolent form of electronic music. 'Nuit jaune' is her debut EP (released digitally on Kinnta records in 2018) and we love it so much that...

If CORBEN’s 2021 album 'Whose Echoes Live In Memory' was a dimly lit journey through twilight ruins, this new full-length from the reclusive Canadian artist feels more like slipping languidly into a bay of bright blue water; all sun dappled coral, drifting currents, and brilliantly colored sea creatures....

Whether evoking the lost utopian communities of the Gulf Islands, eulogizing the socialist origins of the BC Ferries system, or exploring the aftermath of 60s idealism, Mount Maxwell albums have always arrived with an expansive backstory. On first listen, the narrative of 'The People's Forest' seems to be a kind...

Mount Maxwell continues his run of 1970s themed releases with a full length meditation on the perceptual experiences of children born in the wake of the 1960's cultural revolution. Highly ambivalent in tone, ONLY CHILDREN marks a departure from earlier MM releases both in its use of acoustic instruments and...
