JANE INC.

FASTER THAN I CAN TAKE

A disco-inflected, danceable meditation on the permeable boundaries between our interior and exterior worlds, Faster Than I Can Take is an album that you can listen to at a party or alone in your apartment - but no matter where you listen, it will make you dance.

Jane Inc. uses all the tools at her disposal - a Prince-like ability to shred harmonic guitar riffs over deep, danceable grooves, an eagerness to experiment with form, and lyricism that seamlessly links the personal and the political.

BLUNT CHUNKS

Self-Titled

Embracing a weightless style of
guitar-driven pop, Blunt Chunks blends spacious psychedelic country with the unignorable churn of 90s alternative rock. The result is a record deeply uncomfortable with secrets.

Woelfle-O’Brien opts to honour her motivations for past entanglements, both devastating and exalting. And yet, the EP rings with a quiet optimism, steadfast in its search for the kind of love that’s attentive, honest, and transformative.

EUCALYPTUS

MOVES

Eucalyptus's languid, kaleidoscopic jazz is very much a collective endeavour, the product of an internal network of improvisational synergy they've built over more than a decade together.

Led by acclaimed saxophonist and composer Brodie West, Moves is their most psychedelic and arrestingly soulful release thus far. It's also their first to cross into bonafide full-length territory.

JAHMAL PADMORE

ESPARONTO

Jahmal Padmore's Esparonto is a stunning collection of ten post-Afropunk R&B tracks that are languid, sexy and wry.

On this album, Padmore constructs a musical language all his own, with songs firmly rooted in R&B that expand to include elements of jazz, ambient, house, hip hop and pop.

Padmore’s thrilling debut is a clear proclamation from an artist who is ready to step out of the shadows and into his own light.

FRESH PEPPER

SELF-TITLED

Toronto outfit Fresh Pepper, led by longtime friends André Ethier and Joseph Shabason (along with musicians Robin Dann, Felicity Williams, Thom Gill & Bram Gielen,) playfully recounts their culinary past lives across eight jazzy and benevolent tracks that exude their authors’ sheer enjoyment of the creation process.

Breathy, hushed tones via saxophone and vocals casually traverse their own annexed corridor between smooth jazz, exploratory avant-indie, and subverted adult-contemporary.
