This double record offering comes hot on the heels of 2021’s …In The Electric Universe, bringing their recorded output to eight full length records over their 20+ year career.

The Bobby Tenderloin Universe https://bit.ly/3BV5HJ7

Bobby enraptures his audiences with his deep, rich voice and thoughtful, tender lyrics, rustling up a fresh new take on the old country we all love. ​

Gone Cosmic https://bit.ly/3Quw3G0
A blood (orange)-scented breeze that bows the trees, Gone Cosmic chases the infinite haze from the skies and puts it right back in your eyes. Groove-mining breakdowns become the stuff of legend as the four pieces’ floor-thudding tail kick and hellfire halo holler originates a whole that is far more potent than the sum of its individual elements.

Wants https://bit.ly/3SGNoNW
“Wants” is the brainchild of Jeebs Nabil – a Malaysian born veteran Calgary musician and one of the founding members of synth-pop/new wave band Melted Mirror. Initially a scattered collection of unfinished ideas, this synth-pop project eventually took shape over the isolation of the pandemic. Previously known for his delay and chorus laden post-punk/new-wave guitar lines, “Wants” sees Jeebs stepping into new territory by self-producing synth-driven tracks that subtly address themes of bi-cultural identity, personal growth, and mortality.

Wish Book https://bit.ly/3zIoULv
Wishbook is Steve Leidal (vocals/keyboards) and Zoe Saladana (guitars). Sharing beliefs of what’s best in life (drive-thru food, vintage heavy metal, paranormal investigation) and music (crisp rhythm sections, chorused guitars, layered synthesizers) they create offbeat synth rock. Imagine Springsteen and Thin Lizzy – but instead of Racing in the Street and Dancing in the Moonlight, you’re sitting in a basement, ruminating in the dark. Wishbook hopes their introspective prairie pop will appeal to oddballs and sad song lovers everywhere.
