About
About ISKWÉ
Iskwé’s soulful, powerful vocals hit a classic tone in the vein of Shirley Bassey or Amy Winehouse. Here, they’re complimented 2014-style by R&B and trip-hop beats.” – Grant Lawrence, CBC www.iskwe.bandcamp.com
About Hearing Trees:
Hearing Trees takes you from anxiety-laced indie rock to uplifting sing-along choruses that garner comparisons to Interpol, Matthew Good, R.E.M, and Tragically Hip.
A backdrop of reference-filled lyrics grasp the gritty, dry edge of modern life - from Canadian soldiers coming home from the Spanish civil war, to kayaking in the Arctic Circle, through a swath of eclectic shards of culture.

About European Vacation
European Vacation is the 70s-ish keyboard-based stylings of Bryn Rieger (Mammoth Graveyard, Burning Kettles). Sad pop surf and nuanced chorussy nostalgia, like if Robert Smith listened to too much Dick Dale and had less emotions so he just played Sunday sets on the outskirts of Vegas. Low-key electric pianos and dehydrated drum beats at some points immersed in a low-lying haze of psychedelia, at others leading you into the sanguine light of a Sunday morning.
