Coax Recording Artists Geoff Berner and Rae Spoon tour together to promote Geoff’s new album Canadiana Grotesquica and book The Fiddler Is A Good Woman.

Check out Quantum Tangle in Whitehorse, Yellowknife, Iqaluit, Ottawa, Montreal and Vancouver on the From The North Tour in October and November: Tickets and details here

The duo electronic LAL will create a 10 minute soundscape that speaks to Toronto’s Migrant and Indigenous history through sound.

LAL will highlight neighbourhoods such as Chinatown, Vaughan and Oakwood, Korea Town, Yonge/Finch, St. Clair West, Little Italy, Little Bangladesh and Kensington Market (to name a few) while also recognizing Toronto as Treaty Territory founded on Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River territory.

LAL will sample current sounds and voices in these different neighborhoods as well as look at the last 50 years of change in Toronto and highlight unknown or disappearing histories. Toronto is a meeting place where Indigenous, Immigrant and settler communities come together, as well as the land and water and creatures who live here. This piece is a reminder of the past and, through sound, a glimpse of the future.

Rae Spoon plays in Victoria at Rifflandia with Carole Pope and at the Vancouver Fringe Festival with Sam Tudor.

A new release from Geoff Berner coming out September 9! CD pre-sales are up now!

A download code for the album will also be included with The Fiddler Is a Good Woman, Berner’s second novel, set to be published Oct. 14 by Dundurn Press. Berner will be touring the world following the album’s official launch on Sept. 9 at the 10th annual Accordion Noir Festival at Vancouver’s Russian Hall.
