: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Rapidly following the cinematic avant-croon of his 'Executioner' :,
: single from David ôEgyptrixxö PsutkaÆs Halocline Trance label, :
:' polymorphous Hamilton, ON producer Aaron Hutchinson returns ':
,: with his debut LP, Potion Shop. :,
: :
:' This concise eight song collection is aptly named, given the ':
,: eccentric and intoxicating stylistic concoction it serves to :,
: unsuspecting listeners. Ostensibly a vehicle for songs by a :
:' diverse cast of guests (spanning everything from ethereal folk ':
,: to esoteric rhymes, from sunburnt soul to lysergic lullabies), :,
: HutchinsonÆs distinctive and decidedly psychedelic arrangements :
:' tie it all together. Crisp wind arrangements crawl forth from ':
,: thick synth haze; 808 drums rain down on choruses of birds, and :,
: muffled pianos meander past distended, muck-encrusted drum :
:' samples. ':
,: :,
: Potion ShopÆs extensive list of collaborators speaks to the :
:' wildly varied nature of HutchinsonÆs rich musical life. It ':
,: includes contributions from Hamiltonian vocal protagonist Sarah :,
: Good, Benita Whyte of Persons, Doom SquadÆs Allie Blumas, :
:' pre-eminent MC Emay, celebrated musician and slam poet Ian ':
,: Keteku, and even Kirk Starkey of classical fusionists Quarteto :,
: Gelato. The record will be available on LP, CD, and in digital :
:' formats, but visual artist Eccina has also crafted an ':
,: interactive and thoroughly hallucinatory landscape that can be :,
: downloaded to offer listeners complement to the album. :
:' ':
,: Hutchinson has been a vital contributor to his hometownÆs :,
: burgeoning underground music community. He co-founded the :
:' recently-defunct venue HAVN (Hamilton Audio Visual Node) which ':
,: was touted by Vice as ôthe Best DIY Venue in Hamiltonö in 2015. :,
: He also spearheaded their in-house label whose roster included :
:' Eucalyptus whose Kick It Till You Flip It was one of Magnet ':
,: MagazineÆs best Jazz releases of 2019. In addition to winning :,
: several local prizes including the Shirley Elford Emerging :
:' Artist Prize in Music, Jazz Recording of the year from the ':
,: Hamilton Music Awards, and an Emerging Artist in New Media :,
: (Hamilton Arts Awards), heÆs a member of several crucial :
:' Hamilton outfits. ThereÆs the FX-mangled free-jazz duo ':
,: Eschaton, whose Arachnidiscs tape Torus sees them collaborating :,
: with Matt Tavares and Leland Whitty of Bad Bad Not Good. :
:' Meanwhile in the vibrant jazz-fusion/ hip-hop anomalies Haolin ':
,: Munk, he acts as drummer and producer. Hutchinson also been :,
: heard collaborating with everyone from fried dance music denizen :
:' JFM to sleek electro-pop songstress Allie X, not to mention the ':
,: likes of Lea Bertucci, Ellis, Zoon, YlangYlang, and Daniel :,
: Romano. :
:' ':
,: Pop the cork on Potion Shop and drink it down for an :,
: all-too-fleeting trip across a musical terrain thatÆs :
:' disorienting but also warmly familiar. ':
