2 AM (Real Love) [feat. Cecile Believe] (Edit)

Nils Frahm - You (Teen Daze Rework)

This is a track I did for a project with The Brio Life entitled, 'Through The Aperture', also featuring Sun Glitters and Ta-ku, along with visual artists Sonny Kay, Vi Pham, and Guillermo Casanova. I was paired up with Sonny, and he created the track artwork conversely inspired by three tracks from three different releases, those including:

Light and Love (single)
For Sweet Dave (Into The Future) (My Bedroom Floor LP)
For Body and Kenzie (All Of Us, Together LP)

Teen Daze - Orange

Dan Snaith is my hero.  Seriously though, I feel like every Caribou record has affected me in a different way, and inspired a different type of creativity out of me.  

Anyways, here's my remix of Sun, a song that is roughly four years old.  The band hosted a remix contest back when it was released, and I actually got the stems and submitted a remix with an older project (sadly, it didn't win).  But the song, and the whole record really, are still unbound by time, and with the announcement of the new Caribou record, I thought it could be a fun project to revisit the song.

That new Caribou record is coming out in October, and there's a big tour to go along with it.  So make sure you you go to http://caribou.fm to stay up to date. 

Thanks Dan (and the band), for always shifting sounds and always pushing things in a new, exciting direction. 

Xoxo,
Jamison.

Caribou - Sun (Teen Daze Remix)

Reykjavik, January 2015

Nothing's gonna change my love

Teen Daze returns with a new two-track single: Moving forward / Tokyo.

After last year's mellow pop album, Elegant Rhythms, Teen Daze returns to a more familiar sound. In a way. The soft guitars and gentle Rhodes of Elegant Rhythms have been replaced by pulsing synths and blasted-out 808s, something somewhat more familiar to listeners that have been following Teen Daze's career since 2010.

The first sounds we hear on Moving forward are a gentle breeze of voices and pads, a calm before the storm, before we're thrown into this new world. The voices, like a choir of robots, position Teen Daze as an artist who's contemplating the past, while keeping his eyes on the future. You hear it in the arrangement: melodic, atmospheric, emotional, all signs of a Teen Daze production, while also feeling very 'of the times'. What does it mean to be an artist 14 years into their career? We can hear this thought being processed in both the lyrics, and the sound of the song.

The B-side is one of Teen Daze's dreamiest pop songs to date: an ode to his favourite city in the world, Tokyo. You can almost see the cherry blossoms gently falling as the first sounds enter. And almost as quickly as those images enter, we're thrown into the singular energy that is Tokyo At Night. Neon streaks through the night sky as we're running through the streets of Shibuya. The chorus brings a moment of contemplation: "It's strange to be so far away, and I can't help myself from wanting to stay." This track captures that fleeting feeling of being somewhere you love, and knowing that you also can't stay.

Moving forward and Tokyo appear on a new album from Teen Daze, that will be arriving later this year, via his Easy Listening Recordings label.

All songs written, performed and produced by Jamison Isaak.
Mixed by Joel Ford.
Mastered by Nik Kozub.

Teen Daze (Jamison Isaak) is a British-Columbia based artist and producer. He released his fifth LP Themes For Dying Earth on February 10th through his new label, FLORA.

After last year's foray into vibrant indie-pop, Themes finds Teen Daze returning to more ambient, electronic production with new insight: "I learned so much from the experience making Morning World, it would be a step backwards if I didn't apply it." This comes through in songs like "Lost", "Rising" and the first single, "Cycle", which fuse the synthesized sound of early Teen Daze records with the live energy of his more recent works. Themes is also distinct in its collaborative nature. Jamison has worked with other artists in the past, but never to this degree and expanse: "Making the last record alongside other people helped me realize that inviting additional minds to the creative process brings out the best in me."

Conceptually and thematically, this album is one of Jamison's most personal, navigating topics both intimate and broad: "Much of my work is inspired by nature, and it's scary to think that future generations may not have that same relationship. The album starts with Cycle, a song about my personal experience dealing with anxiety and depression, and it slowly zooms out to cover some of the external forces, like climate change, that are affecting those experiences. After touring last fall, I came home so cynical and worn out, I decided take all the nervous energy I had about the world, and filter it through more optimistic, positive sounds."
