Khotin, Mi’ens, Set Straight, and Jenny Banai

Khotin - Finds You Well

Finds You Well will find you well, thanks to mood building beats and soothing, atmospheric synths. Khotin draws the listener in with mesmerizing, and at times, droning lines before introducing subtle changes that have dynamic impact. 

- Jeshaiah David

Mi’ens - Future Child

This Vancouver duo lays out all the mathematical riff ‘quations needed to explore the entire universe. Mi’ens new album Future Child blasts through the static of space with calculated precision, delivering moments of fury and time to appreciate the vast beyond. 

- Jeshaiah David

Set Straight - Demo 2020

Demo 2020 from Calgary new blood Set Straight is such a coherent and heavy release, it’s easy to forget this is the first band for most of its members (Drummer Brock and Bassist Max play in Mace). Vicious vocals and earth shattering breakdowns await the listener for the 10 minute moshfest that is this Demo!

- Justin Olson

Jenny Banai - couchwalker

Living in the “in-between” and coming to terms with it are at the forefront of Jenny Banai’s honest new album. The blissfully tense musical passages with beautiful vocal resolutions stand out as highlights among many on couchwalker.
