Corwin Fox New Single and Video Shrödinger’s Cat

Hello everyone, hope you're enjoying your time at home. I am pretty much locked in my studio writing and making weird noises. But also, I have been busy preparing my new Song of the Month!There was much debate around what to release this month, but as we dug deeper into our quarantines I decided to release something that is A) uplifting! B) explores science! C) about cats! and D) by request!Last month I introduced a song from my album Seed Map, an exploration of the relationship between science and nature. My song this month is from an album called Friendly Times, and it is the perfect segue between these two albums because it is a more family-oriented song that also explores quantum physics. It is called "Schrödinger's Cat", and for the first time I am releasing a video that has a live version of the song while you will have to go to my website or a streaming service to hear the studio version. And you should check out the studio version because it features Manjinder Benning on tabla and Alliszon Zaichkowski on french horn.Enjoy! See you next month…love Corwinhttps://youtu.be/MNOuD0W0–Q www.corwinfoxmusic.comhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/corwinfox/schrdingers-c

We’re so thrilled to announce our first ever release of a Newfoundland act is the CD for Forever Changes Overnight by Family Video. Their launch show is on Feb 28 in St. John’s at legendary THE SHIP PUB with guests DANI BAILEY, DANK EATING and more.

LISTEN TO THE ALBUM NOW ON BANDCAMP

Family Video is St. John’s dreamy indie rock gem. Lead by J. King’s driving guitar and raw emotive vocals; the band includes By Divine Right’s Geordie Dynes on drums, The Burning Hell’s Jake Nicoll on synth, and St. John’s’ indie rock mainstay, Knoah Bender on bass.

Currently at #6 on the Canadian campus radio Earshot Online National Charts, Newfoundland indie rock group, Family Video, launch’s their latest album, Forever Changes Overnight, on CD on Coax

From small town kid to St. John’s indie rock fixture, J. King’s journey informs their earnest song writing; expressing a yearning of the heart that is relatable, but rarely revealed with such vulnerability. 

Their latest album, Forever Changes Overnight has J. King playing an assortment of instruments on songs ranging from upbeat to brooding. It also features Fog Lake’s Aaron Powell on guest vocals and piano to round out this beautiful and deeply personal masterpiece of indie rock.

After enjoying an underground following on tape distros and playing small tours and festivals for many years, Family Video are finally being exposed to a wider audience. The album is available on CD from our store mail order, on cassette from Seattle’s Lost Sound Tapes and on BandcampSpotifyApple Music and everywhere else that you can stream music.

Rae Spoon and Kim Barlow are two seasoned musical nonconformists who have teamed up with newcomer Mohammad Sahraei for a Canada-wide tour in March 2020 that will take them from Yukon to Wakefield, Quebec. The eclectic trio performs arrangements of Kim’s and Rae’s songs for setar and banjo, guitar, keys, percussion and electronics. Kim and Mohammad have been finding the places where banjo and setar overlap, and joyfully meshing their musical worlds for the past year. These new versions of Kim & Rae’s indie pop songs, with traditional tunes peppered through two sets, make for a live performance that is vibrant, diverse, and beautiful.
