Toronto trio Absolutely Free create hypnotic sounds that integrate analog electronics, polyrhythms, psychedelia, with essences of Krautrock, Bollywood, and Pop music at the core. Their debut Arts & Crafts/Lefse explores the apex of its eclectic influences, anchored by a suite narrative, with smoothed structures, patient craft, and technical understatedness; its a soaring, otherworldly trip.

U.S. Girls is the creative force of a lone American woman, Meghan Remy. While her music has been said to evoke particularly blunted Lee Scratch Perry remixes of Cambodian Rocks covers of western pop tunes, Artforum, more accurately she can be thought of as an unapologetically modern pop revisionist merging the audible artistic honesty of her beloved soul music with lyrical strains of static and tape hiss.

Dan Thornhill makes audio video, programming, electronic and fabrication installations.
