Jasamine White-Gluz, the principal songwriter of Canadian shoegaze/noise pop band No Joy, and Sonic Boom, aka Spaceman 3 co-founder Pete Kember, have joined forces for a new EP. The collaborative effort is simply titled "No Joy/Sonic Boom" and is due out March 30th via Joyful Noise. Described in a press release as a “synth pop” EP with notes of “electronica, trip-hop and experimental noise”, the four-track effort came about from White-Gluz’s desire to explore music away from a four-piece “rock band”.

He is the winner of the Rogier van Otterloo Award 2017, acknowledging his success in this process of bringing together musical genres. "Lit Scenes" is a fascinating and irresistible combination of jazz, influenced by big-band composers such as Gil Evans, Bob Brookmeyer and Vince Mendoza, and classical, building on a long tradition of music for string quartet, but with particular links to the writing of György Ligeti, Béla Bartók and Maurice Ravel.

The self-titled release comes packed with breezy uptempo tracks like ‘MTB’, ‘Obey The Fist’, ‘This N That’ and our favourite ‘Good Cat Bad Cat’.

He played with Wynton Marsalis, Diana Krall, Benny Golson, Harold Mabern, Johnny Griffin, Steve Turre, Michel Legrand, Archie Shepp and many others.

Using the alias Caroline Says, Caroline Sallee made her recording debut in 2014 with 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong, an entirely self-recorded album assembled in her parents' basement in Alabama. An intimate, hazy collection of folk-poppy reflection, it came to the attention of Western Vinyl, which reissued it in 2017 while she was working on the follow-up. Arriving a year later, "No Fool Like an Old Fool" was also written, performed, and recorded by Sallee alone in a basement, though this time in her own basement apartment in Austin, Texas.

Damien Done is the nom de plume of Damien Moyal, best known as frontman of iconic 90s hardcore punk bands As Friends Rust.
