STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
"Organic-meets-synthetic... pure class, indisputable elegance, compositional invention and, above all, rich emotional rewards," says Folk Radio UK about Speaker Face. The trio's album Crescent is out today! Vinyl at Bandcamp. Listen: https://fanatic.lnk.to/SpeakerFace-Crescent. Read: http://bit.ly/SPEAKER-FACE-PR-100920.
Trent and Eric's day jobs as members of the Juno Awards-winning traditional folk band the Fretless prob wouldn't clue you in to the downtempo, sexy af sounds of their project with vocalist Ruby Randall. But damn, Speaker Face is such a mood!
Okay, that's enough of my too hip for my age chit-chat, go to Break Thru Radio and check out "All My Mind," the latest single from Crescent, out Oct. 9.
"Speaker Face marry hustle and float... classic, organic sounds with electronics for a combination that is simply otherworldly."
Hell yeah, this video has bees in it, but don't be afraid! See it now over at PopMatters, and check out the album Crescent everywhere on Oct. 9.
This album got me good and the latest single ("Work Friends," out this Friday and premiered today at MXDWN) is the best example yet of the Earth-meets-electronics sound of Speaker Face. Check it: "The ensemble merge rich, earthy string instrumentation with soothing downtempo electronic beats, layering breathy, ethereal vocals over the top."
What's it about? Trent Freeman says, "'Work Friends’ speaks to the masks we wear in the workplace. Forced relationships playing out in environments unnaturally curated to make us our most productive. This track is a covert dance party for the freak hiding behind a tightly buttoned shirt and uncomfortable shoes."
"Gorgeous... graceful...dramatic climaxes and moments of beautiful grandeur." Heh, guess what? I agree! Love this song and love this video even more.
Check out the clip for "Phosphorescence" by Speaker Face today over at the ever-lovely Treble Zine, which, in addition to sharing fantastic downtempo tunes like this, also does about a dozen deep-dives a week on topics throughout the musical spectrum. Props!
I have been variously grooving on and getting feels for this song for weeks. It moves and it moves, ya know? So excited for Atwood Magazine to premiere "Phosphorescence," the first single from Crescent, the upcoming new album by Toronto's Speaker Face!
"It’s easy to get lost in the intimate waves of Speaker Face’s lush sound: They cultivate a strong hypnotizing presence that arrests the senses." Yes!
