You're Sweeter Than Monica Vitti

Sometimes you need a final answer, an answer that may bring sadness but also clarity and space for new intentions.

Deep Heads are proud to present ‘Ideas of Light’ EP from Sun Rain & Spookyfish.

Sun Rain is the solo alias of Toronto-based multi-instrumentalist, DJ, and electronic producer Chad Skinner. In 2019, he conceptually launched the Sun Rain project, fusing his versatile compositional talents to explore his own expansive sonic ideas. 

Spookyfish is the project of multi-instrumentalist Dani Ramez. With roots in ambient and downtempo, her productions showcase skills in audio manipulation and musicality, blending obscure electronic sounds with the familiarity of acoustic instruments.  

Sophia Alexandra, who features on the recording of ‘Candle, is also Toronto based and is a Vocalist & DJ. With her love for storytelling and ear for thoughtful and unique melodies, she has found herself in collaboration with a variety of Toronto-based producers, this time with Sun Rain & Spookyfish.

The EP begins with Sophia’s featuring track ‘Candle’
Gently, the synthesisers begin to pulsate some deep and immersive tones, while electric guitars flutter in the background. As the track progresses, the vocals from Sophia, blend in and layer the energy that has built. Towards 3 minutes of the track, the music changes and morphs into what feels like a new beginning. The synths fade away and we hear Chad on the upright Piano which continues until the end. The compositions are simply magical in this piece of music and a true display of what these artists are all about.

Then for ‘Ideas of light’ we hear a continuation of energy within this EP.
Swerling synth compositions and Live recorded upright Piano create mystical energy that takes you somewhere far away from this planet.
A fantastic display of analogue, live recorded music that is produced to the highest of standards.

On the 3rd and final track on the EP, is a remix of ‘Ideas of Light’ from Marenn Sukie.
He has released previously on the Deep Heads label and gives the piece a new twist that adds bass and beats from the original and incorporates some of the main hooks. 

We hope you enjoy the music as much as we have.

Love

Ambient Projects 2022

Silenn (Interlude)

After spending nearly two decades establishing herself across New York and Los Angeles independent music circles, Frankie Rose returns with a fresh form, aesthetic, and purpose embodied in her new album "Love As Projection." Celebrated by countless critical and cultural outlets over the years for her expansive approach to songwriting, lush atmospherics, and transcendent vocal melodies and harmonies, "Love As Projection" is a reintroduction of her established style through the new lens of contemporary electronic pop. Featuring beautiful, ethereal songs like lead-off single "Anything," "Sixteen Ways" and "Come Back," this album is more than a rebirth, a refinement, a resurgence – it's a culmination of influence, a newly-defined scope using the tools at her disposal, and the most personal and accessible collection of art-pop that Frankie has delivered yet.

Out February 3, pre-order it here: https://teendaze.bandcamp.com/album/natural-movement

Less than a year after the release of his neon dreamscape house record 'Interior', @teendaze returns with his first in a series of EPs slated to be released over the next year and a half. Sonically, the first EP, 'Natural Movement', picks up where the 'Reality Refresh' series left off: four songs that can function in a wide variety of contexts, while all maintaining a consistently cool temperature. Whether you’re in the club, at a sunset beach party, by the pool, in the car, making dinner, running a trail; this is music that aims to meet you wherever you may be in life.

'Effected' takes us straight into orbit, right off the bat. Disco toms, swingin’ 707 hats, phased out Juno chords. A nod to the great Todd Terje perhaps? Will this tune become a staple of the hip wedding DJ? We can’t predict the future, but we can dream.

ABOUT THE ALBUM

If the majority of “lockdown albums” in 2020 were marked by introspection and solitary effort, Chris Bartels (Blurstem, Elskavon) and Andrew Tasselmyer (Hotel Neon, Gray Acres) took a different path in creating 'Duets.'

Looking beyond their own four walls for inspiration, they began a dialogue with musical fragments – specifically, a file folder of late night felted piano recordings from Bartels in Minnesota that eventually found their way into the samplers, loopers, and digital tools of Tasselmyer in Pennsylvania.

Over several weeks, these 'Duets' eventually grew from a set of loose ideas and improvisational concepts into a unified album of seven songs, all made originally from homemade piano recordings but embellished to varying degrees with violin, synthesiser, and voice along the way.

Analog mastering from Ian Hawgood preserves the raw, immediate nature of the original home recordings that began the conversation.

'Duets' makes its home with the ever popular 'Book Editions' series. Vintage books dissected, re-assembled and re-structured into book-bound CD covers...
