BLOCKTREAT
Blocktreat is a warm-and-tingly post-pop dreamscape. Floating on a backbone of lo-fi casio drum grooves and kaleidoscopic guitar and synth lines, lyrics touch on the joy and dysfunction of small-town living. After several instrumental releases, Blocktreat (Brandon Hoffman) is excited for his first foray into lyrical songwriting, with guitarist Malcolm (Jack) Biddle, and percussionist Daniel Ruiz backing him up. Blocktreat has been featured on Vice's Noisey, Indie Shuffle, CBC's the Signal, and has played stages like Vancouver International Jazz Fest, and ArtsWells Festival.
MALCOLM JACK
Cosmic singer songwriter and Dada Plan frontman Malcolm Jack creates roots music from another planet - the primitive sounds of some parallel North America left untouched by the busy collisions of modern life . A folk artist in the true sense, he incorporates ambient loops, field recordings, vintage drum machines and alternate guitar tunings into his otherwise lyrical approach. Touching on the concepts of modern myth, offline living, ecology and alienation, he creates a one of a kind world that is as inclusive as it is unique, allowing peers to peer into their own lives and environments with stunning magnification. His upcoming LP ‘Pure Myth’ is ready to drop in the spring of 2018.
