I ruined my life & then I made this song while coming off everything including your dad's revolution. 

Official Promotional Track leading up to:  The Found CDs.

Foghorn Nervous System

Tenderness & Empathy 

Produced by: Deacon LF
Additional Synth: Evan Tyler 
Vocals: Written + Performed by Evan Tyler 
Tenor Saxophone: Chloe Jackson Reynolds

Early mix and engineering by Ashton Price (Morph Productions, Toronto)
Final shape & mix by Max DeShaw (MaxDeshaw Mixes, Vancouver) 

Notes: 
The content reminds me of an action movie format delivered in GFK or Slick Rick story telling tradition parsed in episodic montages, in turn, a collage of modern tragicomical narratives of  Canadiana, trauma, failed intimacy and drugs. If you engage deeper there’s a timbre + tinge of Donny Darko if it were set in Regina, Saskatchewan in the early 2000s. Encounter stories of lived tragedy I became peripheral to or implemented in while growing up in Regina and then later Toronto; emcee skills propelled by an almost self-indulgent raw truth for the illusion of penitence; names changed out of respect to the diseased or those involved (mostly). Dark house story telling vibes good for thinking and dancing and backwards advancing. 
Burial meets Dan Lorin but RAP. 

Thank you Erin Gee for believing in this song before it was fully shaped. Thank you Cheyanne for being in my life today. Thanks to my collaborators and “the most high”, whom I often (though not often enough) -  pray to.

i was only temporary (Super Slowed)

Two Generations Of Excess


Psychedelic rap. Cosmic lyrical quest. 



DROID KITES (with 73stan)

Everyone has a happy place they go to in their head; mine is musical icon Sade's summer house. Listen in and experience my most visceral and intimate fantasy about being best friends with Sade. Are there any rap songs out there about platonic relationships with women?  Prolly not many. But hey, this is one!  

Best Friends With Sade


Don't sleep in this remix of "Lounge Lords" featuring the always kaleidoscopic MC HIROSHI. 

Original song for the album MUSEUMARANG (a topless literati collaboration) 

LOUNGE LORDS REMIX with MC HIROSHI

I Look Away (Produced by Creeks Of Wine)

FaLLING

Raps like someone on too much or too little of something high octane and crucial; often misunderstood on encounter as turrets or mental illness by the elderly and beyond. Super dope stuff. Niche Canadian hip-hop.
