Blue Canopy – Stranger At The Door (ft. Misty Boyce)
“Great sound editing, from the start you can hear it is a top notch production. Vocals are so good, perfectly melancholic with amazing music that reminded me a bit of Royksopp and their trade mark sound. Just love, this one goes on repeat. ”
-Nagamag.com
“Stranger At The Door” is a new single from Blue Canopy, featuring vocals from Misty Boyce (tours as backup vocalist and keyboardist for Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson and BØRNS)
“Stranger At The Door is a song from my dog Banjo’s perspective. He’s been super anxious and paranoid since we moved to a new house. He’s especially worried that there is someone or something dangerous at the front door. Some of it, and the inspiration is from his perspective. I relate it later in the song to my own social anxieties that have escalated since COVID. I often don’t feel comfortable in my own skin, or without a mask, or around people in general.”

I Used to Be Sam – Forgiveness
“The text in this song can be called a real work of art in the world of poetry. It is deep, it has a lot of meaning and beautiful, thoughtful phrases. The light background Folk emphasizes and complements all this poetic picture, increasing the already enchanting narrative. This is not only music – it is also a poem.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Текст в этой песне можно назвать самым настоящим произведением искусства в мире поэзии. Он глубокий, в нём много смысла и красивых, вдумчивых фраз. Лёгкий фоновый Folk подчёркивает и дополняет всю эту поэтичную картину, приумножая и без того фееричное повествование. Это не только музыка — это ещё и поэма.”

Quinn Cicala – Don’t Call Me
“In the vocalist’s voice, a light and uninhabited irony is felt, which is very pleasant to listen. The unpretentious melody calmly and measuredly lies on the heart and disperses all the fogs and rains above his head. Such music fulfills its main task – it relaxes and calms.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“В голосе вокалиста чувствуется лёгкая и ненапряженная ирония, слушать который очень приятно. Незатейливая мелодия спокойно и размеренно ложится на сердце и развеивает все туманы и дожди над головой. Такая музыка выполняет свою главную задачу — она расслабляет и успокаивает.”

JoyCut – NOVEMBRE13_
“Such a big atmosphere, blurry piano with a beautiful theme, big reverb. Amazing strings part, perfect blend of sounds and then, a huge melancholic lead synth, with a bit of distortion, just an amazing production here, amazing composition. ”
-Nagamag.com
The song grows from calm to the density & energy of sound. It is an instrumental
composition that put the sound of the band between post-rock experimental of
Sigur Ros & Mogwai to ambient and sound-researches of A Winged Victory For the
Sullen & Stars Of The Lid in a world that moves from post-rock to contemporary
sounds with including Ambient and space music.
