Absent Sounds ArchiveJordan Klassen InterviewToday, we're exploring the work of Jordan Klassen, the Vancouver-based singer-songwriter and producer whose poetic "fairy folk" has been captivating listeners for well over a decade. Jordan’s latest project, Marginalia (2023), is a deeply introspective and elegant complement to its predecessor, Glossolalia. These two albums, born from the same creative period, reflect two sides of a coin: the stripped-down vulnerability of one and the fuller, more textured exploration of the other.In this episode, we’ll go through some of the margins of the album, discovering the metaphors, and themes that shape Marginalia while playing through the album fr...2024-12-231h 29

It's been a hot minute and a slightly rough summer; nevertheless we're still alive and have a host of great interviews lined up for the rest of the year!

Yet with each track, and the further we dove within the interview, the more it became clear that Brutus VIII isn't just exploring these shadowy emotions but challenging them. The songs on Pure Glottny aren’t just raw—they're confrontational, urging listeners to confront their own hidden desires and discomforts. Our c...2024-08-281h 30

Absent Sounds ArchiveEpisode on Softcult (w/ Nate)Happy Friday! ICYMI playing today (this morning and 5pm) on @cjamfm is my dive with Nate into the lastest @softcultband EP Year of the Snake 🐍🐍🐍🐍..Softcult is the grunge/shoegaze/dreampop/amazing duo of twins Phoenix and Mercedes Arn-Horn hailing from Kitchener ON. Unabashedly feminist, their music is brimming with themes on misogyny, assault, gender norms and mental health. Quite fitting since we're going to be playing music made by women for the entirety of March (aka Women's month)🤘 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.2022-03-111h 30

Absent Sounds ArchiveChrist Walla Interview on Carissa's WierdA few weeks ago, Chris Walla joined us to talk about his time producing one of our favourite records of all time- Songs About Leaving by Carissa's Wierd. While the band has since broken apart, the fragility found in their music has often been a source of comfort during our own personal unravellings.If you want to skip to the discussion on Carissa's Wierd specially, go to 46 mins!
