///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
National treasure Julie Doiron is a devastating and prolific singer-songwriter with more than 20 albums released throughout her illustrious career, either under her own name, as Broken Girl, in collaboration with Mount Eerie, as a member of Eric’s Trip and Shotgun & Jaybird, and beyond. Her 2021 album I Thought of You is her first in nine years and was recorded with established Canadian musicians Daniel Romano, Ian Romano and Dany Placard and released on You've Changed Records.

The songs of Jon McKiel are born of the bruised marshlands of remote New Brunswick, from the craggy shores of the Atlantic coast; places where nature is a powerful wonder and the made-world is in slow decay. What might otherwise be construed as paranoia or pessimism, is softened by a genuine sense of longing and tenderness, and world-weary poetics combine natural elements with bits of fantasy and lucid dreamscapes.

Steven Lambke is a writer of songs and poems. He has been described by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson as “a working musician – that is, someone who is embedded in, responsible to, and who holds space for a community of artists that create against the odds of the music industry, without contracts, awards, and acolytes.” His most recent album Volcano Volcano was saluted by Pitchfork as “a battle cry for romantic radicals.”
Steven Lambke is also a member of the Constantines: young hearts be free tonight and sings in the band Spider Bite.

The Burning Hell is the ongoing musical project of songwriter Mathias Kom and multi-instrumentalist Ariel Sharratt, often including additional comrades and collaborators. Their densely populated genre-shifting songs are packed with an abundance of literary, historical, cultural, and pop-cultural forebears, heroes and villains, subjects and objects, stories and hooks. They move with heavy rhyme and a light step, incorporating a frequent fixation on apocalypse and ruin into work that celebrates participation in a mutually created, ever surprising, delightful, and even occasionally beautiful world. Which is to say they’re good dance partners and they want to dance with you.
