Dralms—the solo project of Christopher Smith—is getting ready to release a new album, Love Writes Itself. Co-produced and recorded in Vancouver with sound designer Mirko Vogel (Cut Copy), the album pushes Dralms from the electronically-textured backbone of 2015 debut Shook towards an immersive orchestral swirl of strings and woodwinds.
Canadian cellist and composer RAPHAEL WEINROTH-BROWNE will release his debut solo album, Worlds Within, on January 24th, 2020.

“Learning how to forgive will be the best thing you ever do in life,” says Cat. “‘I Don’t Blame You’ is about my childhood and the strained relationship with my Dad. I had a lot of resentment mixed with anger and hurt. I found that it was stunting my mental growth and emotional maturity. I needed a way to say exactly what I was thinking to him in an honest yet vulnerable way. This song is my way of healing, and I hope it can help others who are in similar situations find peace within their own lives & relationships.”
Zac Pajak releases music video for ‘Not Around’ 28th Nov
Speaking about the video Zac quotes: “Let’s face it – it’s a sad song about accepting the absence of a loved one. With the video we simply wanted to project this feeling of loss and absence. It starts with the cosy bedroom setting of a relationship which is then stripped away piece by piece and left empty by the end. We used a body cam to give a chaotic and unstable perspective. We filmed it on the streets of Peckham and I had this huge body-rig harnessed to my chest when it started raining – I guess it adds to the mood, we had no choice but to embrace it.”
