Release Notes:
Almost three years have passed since the release of Royal CanoeÆs sophomore
album Today We Are Believers (2013). Those years were full. The band played 200
shows, which included tours with the likes of Alt J and Bombay Bicycle Club, and
stops at major festivals like Bonaroo, Iceland Airwaves, and Osheaga. The hard
work paid off: Today We're Believers received critical acclaim, was nominated
for Alternative Album of the Year at the Junos, and won Best Independent Album
at Western Canadian Music Awards.
After two years of writing and recording between tours, Something Got Lost
Between Here and the Orbit surfaced with a unique and intensified voice. It was
co-produced and mixed by Ben Allen (Gnarls Barkley, Animal Collective,
Deerhunter), who concentrated their sound-crafting attention on two fundamental
elements: drums and vocals. Royal Canoe has always had an intensively rhythmic
heart and that is more the case than ever. Their lyrics grow organically out of
an addictive percussive flow and the unique topography of each track.
Reinforcing their vocal and percussive core allowed them to be more adventurous
with experimentation; more determined in their ongoing pursuit of the elusive
musicality that can be found in collisions between digital and analogue worlds.
In addition to their their usual buffet of synthesizers, effects pedals and
homemade samples, late nights lead to to rabbit-holes of attaching contact mics
to water bottles to play them like percussion instruments and convoluting synths
through beluga whale field recordings.
In addition to a renewed sonic focus, Something Got Lost brings an emotional
clarity. But itÆs a particular kind of clarity: one you experience when whatÆs
most clear is that youÆre really unsure about whatÆs happening with your life
or, unsure about what happened to the life you once took for granted, while you
were off experiencing stuff, being busy, accomplishing things. Life, and
especially the life of musicians, tends to be shaped by an ebb and flow of
leaving and returning, cycling between an extroverted, transient mode of being
and one of introversion and staying put. Within the broader cycles, even our
most important relationships can shift, morph and drift, no matter how much we
try to hold them steady.
