While his journey on this terrestrial plane has taken him from his native Alaska to Utah to Quebec to Portland to his current home (for the next five minutes at least), in Hawaii, Englehorn is ultimately a citizen of Planet Gus, an uncanny universe created through a big-bang collision between serene beauty and apocalyptic chaos, populated by folkloric heroes, creepy characters, and oversized insects alike. A critically acclaimed indie-rock singer-songwriter, he spent much of his life as a professional snowboarder, but always dreamed of writing songs. Accompanied by his wife Estée Preda, his key collaborator with whom he produces his albums and creates music videos, his approach is visceral, subconscious and much like his snowboarding career, risk taking and unapologetic.

When he finally emerged — first on 2020’s Death & Transfiguration — he had found a sound that was dark and delightful, fun and demented, packed with dynamics and the chug of a hysterical guitar. Dungeon Master, Gus Englehorn’s Secret City Records debut, is an outsider opus — a playful juxtaposition of isolation, alienation and mildish OCD. The album was praised by critics: “This is hitting in a weird way,” enthused renowned critic Anthony Fantano from The Needle Drop, while American magazine Under the Radar stated that the opus was “a fascinating dose of outsider indie rock, carried by Englehorn’s yelping vocals, gleefully offbeat songwriting, and darting melodies. [A] fantastically weird […] record.” The artist performed at SXSW (USA), The Great Escape (UK), Reeperbahn (DE), Festival MaMA (France), M for Montreal, and more in recent years.

Gus Englehorn released his third full-length album, The Hornbook, in January 2025. The album was co-produced with Mark Lawson (The Unicorns, Arcade Fire) and mixed by Paul Leary (founder of the Bu****le Surfers).

Badge Epoch Trio is a skinny version of Toronto jazz-funk octet Badge Époque Ensemble, assembled by bandleader Maximilian Turnbull to play original compositions. Over the course of 4 albums, an EP, and a few compilation/archival releases (mostly on Toronto’s Telephone Explosion label) the scope of Badge’s work has come to include contemporary updates to library music, 70’s style jazz-funk, psych’d out soul, prog and esoterica. They have also released collage works, constructed by Turnbull (as well as a remix album in collaboration with Lammping) out of refashioned stems and loops of their own previous recordings. Taken as a whole, their catalog bears reference to a master beat digger’s crate of funky oddities. They have toured with artists such as Bill Callahan & U.S Girls, and have been long-listed twice for the Polaris Prize.

Badge Epoch Trio is Alia O’Brien (flute), Ed Squires (congas) & Maximilian Turnbull (guitar).

Toronto synthpop producer Daniel Benjamin aka Moon King speaks to their creative process with new album Roses:

“On this album I wanted to cut through and go deep, retreat, and explore internal depths. Hallucinogenic pop presented clean and dark, cold, crystalline, distinct, distant”.

Don’t sleep on the ‘Roses’ release party April 25th at - joining Moon King is shapeshifting producer creating the rare musical synergy that exists between longtime friends and collaborators. 🌀
