Programmer is an exploration of the obscure but iconic sound of the Solton Programmer 24. A synthesizer referred to by some as the “Ultimate Italo Disco Machine”.

Vancouver’s CORBEN pairs this strange and beautiful machine with a Mellotron and a Roland SVC-350 vocoder to great effect. The result is a haunting and dream-like suite of music that lends itself well to solitude and other inward-facing experiences.

Available digitally and on limited edition cassette tape September 4, 2020.

Goats Peak is the latest work of Weird North legend Jack Balles - best known for his time with Stagmummer (Sudden Death Records, No List) and sessions with studio masters like Steve Albini and Gggarth.  From a log cabin made of earth and wood in the interior Okanagan (BC) mountains, Goats Peak tracks the damp forest between dub, leftfield and industrial with a queasy pastoralism of warped wind and burnt electronics.  25 years of biting the ample. Test your drugs.
