Paris Takes the Stage

A summer hit in the lead up to international climate talks this fall!

A message from the future (2040), we reflect on the need for society to "re-program" and get back to basics. This song embodies a fun techno-pop feel, that gives the listener the sense that it is possible to "change the defaults and the rules."

Techno Junky

Our society, our species has been “carried away” for generations - in a variety of ways: for convenience, for abundance, for power. 

Now, in in the 22nd century, we send a message back to our grandchildren a century prior: we can carry our way if we are guided by hope and love.

This song is a pre-release of our album, "Decades After Paris," due later this summer in the lead up to the international climate talks this fall.

Carried Away

Unstoppable

In 2025, active citizens and shareholders are demanding that the climate crisis be addressed by governments and business worldwide. It’s not so easy though: in a world with climate change impacts and a society so heavily defined by extreme capitalism, the shift is impacting everyone. 
 
Concepts: socio-economic change, carbon pricing, drought, fossil fuel economy, multi-national powers, climate refugees, Corporate Social Responsibility

These Eyes

This foreboding song was written on the west coast as the artists endured the haze of the worst wildfire season the Province of British Columbia has experienced (2017).

From the singer's perspective, a life disrupted by smoke touches a basic element of life and song: breathing. 

From a distance, through social media, the pain at the fires edge becomes real. Her network, her colleagues, her community are touched by the tragedy and the victories occurring in this warming world.

Closer to home, she reflects on the news of a melting Antarctica, and the plight of coastal communities like hers as sea levels rise. 

The dramatic fire painted sky becomes a symbol of the collective challenge of climate change. 

Pink horses were a literal occurrence in the artists' home province set aflame, and conjure a visualization akin to humanity's revelation in the bible.

Inspired by the reflective story telling of Johnny Cash, a driving western guitar and longing string bass adorn images of our future with climate change and our plight to connect with each other.

Apocalypse Sky

See the music video: https://youtu.be/G-xNwuQmCTQ

A troubled time traveler from a terrible future is trying to warn us before it's too late to change. Wrought with sorrow and guilt, the messenger exposes their sense of futility, oscillating between apology and accusation. 

"Trouble" invites the listener to feel vulnerable and to empathize with the messenger, who suffers from their own humanity and systemic injustice.

Quarreling lovers? Oppressed justice seekers? A scientist without hope? The story transcends identity.

The instrumentation is as cool as the concept, with beautiful horn lines, cool syncopated vocals, ripping guitar, and a grooviest of rhythm sections.

Trouble

A funky, catchy, and sustainability themed album with a climate outreach agenda. The subject matter is resonant, and so is the music.

The album takes the listener on a journey. Starting from the Peoples Climate March in NYC, the listener embarks to Paris in December of 2015 to witness world leaders make decisions on global carbon emissions, and the general fate of humanity. From there, the story travels decades into the future outlining possible scenarios our generation will encounter.  

The subject matter is real, raw, and resonant; and so is the music. Upbeat, the music allows the listener to feel the intensity of the situation.

Danton Jay and Heather Lynn are low-carbon chemistry in the making. Read more about them on their website and other social media outlets.
