All Our Happy Days Are Stupid

Cold Toronto February and our Chilean friend Bruce is in town. We're in the living room drinking mescal and listening to reggaetón on YouTube (think Kelman Duran, 1804 Kids). Cale says: 'fuuuuuck, this is so dark!!'
The next day he says: 'remember that song you did with that annoyingly hooky synth? I want to put a reggaetón beat on that one...' So I sent Cale the stems and he went the fuck in as always, bringing hand cut mangled break beats and tight transitions to the little music banger.
The track clocks in at a lean 2:30 punk weight, and follows like a brother in the mood of our spring release, Clever Disdain. (DJs: loop and rinse, pls.)
As of the release of this track, the lads are on Toronto Island recording more tunes for a coming EP release. Eye emoji....

Remixed and remastered 2018 release [Shell for Vagrant Content]. These recordings emerge from years of jamming and improvisation, and we’re resuscitating them because this really is a special record. Ambient tracks, dancey beats, pensive found sound assemblages— it’s one of the best albums I’ve been a part of making.

A live set that moves from ambient tracks, to emotionally sung songs, to idiosyncratic bangers. A mix of my tracks from multiple modes for multiple moods.

This is my profile. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My profile is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

Without me, my profile is useless. Without my profile, I am useless.
