Youth Trend Report is a minimal-ish electronic music project from the middle of nowhere. Their debut LP Life Coach dissects and misappropriates classic hip hop beats over wandering loops and vacant melodies. The collection of songs is rounded out by radio frequencies, internet clickbait, field recordings collected from Germany to Texas, and stolen dialogue of 1950's housewives experimenting with LSD. In light of the current state of Monster Energy endorsed electronic music Youth Trend Report have opted not to include any bass tracks on the entire album... It's not going to make you want to dance but it just might make you want to take a walk and clear your head. A little fresh air never hurt anybody.


Formed in 2006 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Slow Down Molasses rank among Western Canada’s finest musical exports. Their third album, 100% Sunshine, will be released on September 2, 2016 on Noyes Records, and forges new sonic territory for the band while retaining their unique hybrid of ’90s Anglophilia and contemporary Canadian rock. 2015’s Burnt Black Cars was hailed as “drug-drenched psych-pop” by Q magazine and “immediately memorable and timeless” by The Line of Best Fit, with the band going on to share the stage with the New Pornographers, Swervedriver, Built to Spill, Preoccupations (fka Viet Cong) and the Besnard Lakes. Veterans of festivals across North America (SXSW, CMJ, NXNE, Sled Island) as well as European (Incubate, End of the Road, Liverpool Sound City, Great Escape, Reeperbahn, Nouvelle Prague), the band are renowned as a euphoric live experience, with Exclaim praising their “huge, stadium-ready sound and colourful presence”. Slow Down Molasses are singer/guitarist Tyson McShane, drummer Jordan Kurtz, bassist Chris Morin, guitarist/keyboardist Aaron Scholz, guitarist Levi Soulodre and keyboardist/singer Jeanette Stewart.
