‘Remarks’ was produced by Private Island frontman Christian Lum, engineered by Mike Schuppan (Foster The People, Young The Giant, Wolf Alice), mixed by Jordon Silva (Vance Joy, The Avett Brothers), and mastered by Brian Lucey (Cage The Elephant, Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys).

Talking about the album, Creature Canyon say; “creating this album has been a journey for us, both emotionally and sonically. We spent a lot of time early on in the writing process establishing a sound that collectively represented each and every member of the band. We all had equal contributions to the songwriting, pulling from each member’s past experiences to bring it all together”.

Formed in San Diego, CA, Creature Canyon encapsulates the fiery energy of indie/alt rock with waves of modern psychedelia. The band consists of members Austin Steele (vocals, guitar), Ryan Amyot (guitar), Kyle Victoria (drums), Aaron Lund (bass), and Luc Fralic (keyboards, percussion). Known for their thrilling and captivating live performances, Creature Canyon have received nods from Billboard, Paste, and many other industry tastemakers.

Building upon their prior EPs ‘Life I Know’ and ‘Did You Want That’, the band has made a considerable leap forward in their songwriting journey, seeking to tackle themes that deal with the emotional conflicts of love and loss through a journey of self-discovery.

HOAX – b?
(Spotify)

“What do you think will work if you combine such genres as Surf and Indie Rock? You will be surprised at what miracles sometimes take place in a musical world in which such amazing imagination tracks are born. Positive, warmth and love that pour over the edge of sweeping away everything in their path!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Как вы думаете, что получится, если совместить такие жанры, как Surf и Indie Rock? Вы удивитесь, какие чудеса порой происходят в музыкальном мире, в котором рождаются такие потрясающие воображение треки. Позитив, тепло и любовь, которые льются через край сметая всё на своём пути!”

Indie / Alternative band HOAX released b? – the long-awaited narrative-driven debut concept album and a 17-track project detailing the inner workings of being vs. doing.

(stream here) https://ffm.to/hoax-being.OPR

“If all you are is what you do, how can you ever be?”

The entirety of the album is best characterized by its title track, “b?”, which happens to also be the exact center point as well. The whole idea of transitioning from a DO-er to a BE-er is embodied by the themes focused around the idea of BEING. The narrative told isn’t meant to be esoteric or grand; instead, it is just a simple truth boiled down to a quiet realization:

“Honestly, this life moves like a daydream, caught between how the way it goes ain’t always the way it seems. So lovely, cut right through all the ugly feelings faced, cause the way they are ain’t always the way we should be.”

QUOTE

“Behind all the facades we put up, under all the masks we wear – there we are: Ourselves in Being form. It used to be very hard for me to explain what it meant ‘to be’ to other people. And believe me – I know I am not original in this line of questioning. For God’s sake, we all know what Shakespeare said through Hamlet, but as the album developed, it became clear to me that ‘being’ is synonymous with ‘peace’. And that peace looks different in everyone’s mirror. It starts with self-reflection, and never ends with anything other than life devotion to your truest form. I’ve said it so many times throughout our career, but if there is anything you take away from listening to HOAX and this album, it's to please prioritize your peace. We are only here for a moment in the blip of infinity, and during that blink, our peace and being will always be under the scrutiny of the randomness and chaos of life. Perfect the art of sitting still, to know yourself, show and embody empathy, and be authentic to your peace.”

-Michael Raj

Suni – At the heart of things
(Spotify)

“The pleasant sound of the guitar strings of the genre Indie Rock, floating somewhere in zero gravity vocals, the slow pace of the rhythm and the atmosphere of complete idyll. Music for sunset and sunrise, for dinner by candlelight and kisses in the arms of a loved one.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

Fuzzy Sun – Money

Fuzzy Sun – Money
(Spotify)

“Whatever important role in our lives plays money, music is always and will remain the most important and possibly the only way to solve all pressing issues. Listen to the new track -fuzzy Sun- and you will understand how important it is in your life.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Какую бы важную роль в нашей жизни не играл деньги, музыка всегда была и останется самым главным и, возможно единственным способом, чтобы решить все насущные вопросы. Послушайте новый трек -Fuzzy Sun- и вы поймёте, как важна она в вашей жизни.”

-Nagamag.com

https://push.fm/fl/fuzzysun

Lifted from the EP today is lead new single, 'Money'. The glam-tinged alt-rock number - replete

with ultra-modern electronic undertones - showcases the band's colossal strength as merchants of

raw emotion. This is music to file alongside the likes of Leeds band The Music, Inhaler, and Doves.

Avoiding keeping things overly sweet and psychedelic, the song encases some dark lyrics in its

effervescent sonics. Frontman Kyle Ross cathartically lays into capitalism and the pains he feels it

causes.

"Hey Sonny yeah money's gonna kill your soul" is the key line which inspired the song," says the

singer.

"We all seem to be chasing money and material things. And I think it leaves us empty and

unfulfilled. Despite that, it's just so ingrained in us as a society and it prevails.

Helping ram home the sentiment in the lyrics is the palpable sense of disaffection in the singer's

rabble-rousing voice.

Kyle is the band's spokesperson and de facto leader of Fuzzy Sun. That said, the three-piece band

are very much a unit - a tight live band - and came together to write and record this EP. Like a chef

making a reduction, the band sifted through a catalogue of nearly 30 songs to get to the potent four

tracks that made the cut for their upcoming EP.

That expansive, arena-shaking feel to their sound was helped as they recorded the drums at EVE

studio, where the likes of Metronomy, Everything Everything and The Charlatans have recorded.

The rest of the instrumentation was recorded at their home studio in Stockport and they

self-produced four "big tunes you can really sink your teeth into" (Kyle Ross).

The upcoming EP follows on from their acclaimed self-released EP, Since The Dog Died, which

was released in 2021. Even without label backing, but through determined work ethic and the

strength of their live shows, the rising rockers have opened for some major UK artists, toured

Europe and had sell-out shows across the U.K.

The success thus far is not without thanks to music journalists and broadcasters that have been

championing them along the way. Support from NME’s 100 List, CLASH, DORK, Earmilk, Gigwise,

BBC Radio 1, BBC 6Music, Radio X and Spotify’s New Music Friday UK and Hot New Bands

playlists - to name a few - has been a dream foundation for the band, who have sky high ambitions

and the talent to match.

Our Violet Room – Falling

Our Violet Room – Falling
(Spotify)

“The well -built sound balance, the atmosphere of Indie Rock is transmitted and recreated very well, passes the listener all his depth. The track is suitable for both lone wanderers and a mental company and will not leave anyone indifferent.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Грамотно выстроенный баланс звука, атмосфера Indie Rock передана и воссоздана очень хорошо, передаёт слушателю всю свою глубину. Трек подойдёт как одиноким странникам, так и душевной компании и не оставит никого равнодушным.”

-Nagamag.com

With indie rock sensibilities and thoughtful candor, Our Violet Room’s “Falling” is a deceivingly upbeat song about the pain of heartbreak. “Falling,” which is the fifth single released in anticipation for Our Violet Room’s (Matthew Birch) debut album, shares the details of a crumbled relationship. Singing through his emotions, Birch is honest about where he’s at after the breakup. He bares all his confusion and pain upfront and attempts to deal with it. He explains that the song was about “talking [himself] through the end of a relationship,” and by engaging in “self-talk” through the song, he was able to move on. In the chorus he sings, “So let the past be past and move ahead to the dreams that you have dreamt inside your head. You say that I’m falling, and I’m falling over you.” Despite this being his most upbeat indie-rock song, Birch doesn’t derive from the cinematic twist characteristic of his music. In the bridge, right when it sounds like the song might end, Birch brings listeners back in with the sound of horns and a driving percussion. In this way, it’s as if he’s sonically signaling a brighter future in which he can move forward from the pain. While he repeats the chorus once more, there’s a change in tone to what Birch is singing as he admits in the end that although he was falling, now he’s “here to say, I’m over you.” Finding empowerment and a new stride, the song ends on a positive and peaceful note. “Falling” is the fifth track off of Birch's upcoming debut album, Not Where I Thought I’d Be. The 7-track album chronologically details the story of a relationship from its bright beginnings to its bitter end.

Skinny Dippers – Past Selves

Skinny Dippers – Past Selves
(Spotify)

“The ringing and rustle of percussion, the vibrations of guitar strings and the atmosphere of the classic indie rock. There is nothing impossible, everything is achievable and everything, it would seem, invisible faces of the unknown has long been blurred. There was only music -Skinny Dippers-, which accompanies you at this very second.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Звон и шелест перкуссии, вибрации гитарных струн и атмосфера классического Indie Rock. Нет ничего невозможного, всё достижимо и все, казалось бы, невидимые грани непознанного уже давно размыты. Осталась лишь музыка -Skinny Dippers-, которая сопровождает вас в эту самую секунду.”

-Nagamag.com

Past Selves is the final single from Skinny Dipper's debut album The Town & The City. The song uses the second person perspective to think about all of the different versions of ourselves and how we change over time. The protagonist looks back on the wild memories from his younger days, but realizes he's outgrown the shenanigans and in retrospect they just seem like silly distractions.
