Jo Passed - Away
Jo Hirabayashi–the singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer behind Canada’s Jo Passed–is very much alive, even though his sophomore album, Away, took eight years to come out. You can’t, or shouldn’t, rush a good thing, and this collection of 11 layered indie rockers is as honest and real as it gets. With his 2018 debut LP Their Prime (Sub Pop) long behind him, Away showcases Hirabayashi at his creative best, and is the culmination of a long and arduous road on which he suffered burnout and anxiety as he scrapped various versions before arriving at its final state. “Away is a process record–about processing, about the process of making music, and the process of navigating one's own psyche,” he notes.

Casual Hex - Zig Zag Lady Illusion II
Casual Hex is a three-piece band formed in the PNW in 2015 by Erica Miller, Jessie Odell, and Nick Anderson. Rooted in post-punk, no-wave, and noise rock, their sound thrives on the tension between heaviness and minimalism, catchiness and dissonance.
While difficult to define a direct influence, traces of Pylon, Unwound, A Frames, and early Sonic Youth come through in their dissonant, catchy style. Jessie’s driving bass lines lay the foundation as Erica’s commanding vocals cut through with sharp, narrative intensity. The lyrical content is heady and cryptic, encouraging the listener to question human behavior and inspire positive change.
Their latest release features Anthony Beauchemin on drums, while Keegan Wiltshire joins them for their live performances.
