For Toronto outsider pop auteur Saya Gray, music is a glittering mosaic of endless influences.
Her body of work is akin to a sonic chimera; its limbs assembled from disparate, but complimentary musical organisms. Does she make pop? Folk? Rock? R&B? The moment you think you’ve got her pinned, she’s gone like a flash. “I’m constantly moving, physically and emotionally and spiritually” says Gray. “The influence of whatever’s around you will always seep in. [It’s why] I’ve been a vagabond for a very long time.”
Gray’s often collage-like sonicspheres, blanketed with layers of riffs upon layers of electronic chatter, demonstrate the limitless potential of music as an art form.
Dance while King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard evolve in real time – taking their extensive oeuvre through a complete transformation – swapping their no nonsense guitars and fuzz pedals for a bastardised fully modular synthesis table that shares the same beating heart of their ethos – ambitious, improvised and epiphanic. Rave and freak out.

The Temper Trap are back with new music and a headline show at O2 Forum Kentish Town in November.

With past events: POP CRYPT *LIVE* and POP CRYPT II: DAY & NIGHT, featuring intricate performances and sets from the likes of A. G. Cook, Dorian Electra, Dux Content, EASYFUN B2B Finn Keane, Thy Slaughter (with bandmates Caroline Polachek and Ellie Rowsell), Tommy Cash and many more, this year is set to surpass anything seen in the crypt before.
Michelle Gurevich’s brings her 7th bedroom produced album – It Was the Moment – to Jazz Cafe in October. It will not disappoint those anticipating a new soundtrack for their darkness and saudade. It may even be her most vulnerable and expressive work yet, with themes of a fatalistic submission to passion, the ephemeral nature of encounters, the loss of mother and home, the end of days, and losing one’s mind in both the best and worst ways possible. Michelle offers her entire palette of sound here, from dark Lynchian realism, to elegant humor, to queen of epic melodrama.
Tickets are now SOLD OUT.
