The first major album came from Apostrophic back in 2014, a six track journey somewhere between electro-acoustic solace and mellowed beats of UK garage. Based in Vancouver, Apostrophic takes notes from artists like Four Tet and Caribou, letting the music that inspires him feed into something more personal, and more experimental.

Laying out the materials that go into his sound seems to leave a surprisingly varied range of sources to pull from. The drum samples led by lines of snare drum are at home with the garage vibe, but at times the synth warms up tones of cosmic. Vocal samples fade in from the background like loops of futuristic drone, then later thicken into a harder bassline or end up being cut and scrambled.

In his second LP released early last year, standout tracks like ‘Waldorf’ feel like they’ve been patched together from Apostrophic’s toolbox, changing the rules throughout while skilfully avoiding losing grip on the song’s momentum.

The newest album ‘It is what it is’ released at the end of March 2020, and rounds off with ‘Clarity of Noise’; a mosaic of drone, classical and garage. This artist continues to present tracks with no respect for genre conventions, selecting what sounds best and managing to assimilate.

Alaskan Tapes is the ambient music project of Toronto based artist, Brady Kendall who has been steadily releasing his productions on albums and EP’s since 2015. Intent on creating music that is defined not only by catchy melodies, but also by texture and depth, he is often incorporating live tracked instruments into his compositions. He is well known for his melancholic and dreamy use of piano, alongside field recordings and electronic elements.

Alongside his steady stream of releases, he is regularly composing soundtracks and film scores. His music can be heard in a variety of short films, including “Childhood Trauma” and “Mag Sein” by Director Eliot Rausch, or “ABADDON” by Director Rogerio Silva, to name a few.

Sleeping since last year is Alaskan Tapes’ most recent drone based EP. Throughout the 6 minutes, drifting chords and notes collide and embrace with heavy reverberation. Reaching its peak, the same elements unweave and cascade away with subtlety. Appropriately titled, the title track off of Sleeping since last year offers the listener an invitation of tranquility, a much needed escape in hectic times.
