Shane Ghostkeeper Shares Classic Rock-Style Tune “Sunbeam” from New Album ‘Songs For My People’

Fans of independent Canadian music will likely recognize the name Shane Ghostkeeper from his namesake project GHOSTKEEPER, a band that has been responsible for some of the more thrilling music to emerge from Alberta during the last 15 years. But while his parent band trades in a highly unique, left-of-centre approach to indie rock, Shane Ghostkeeper’s new album, Songs For My People, is a deeply reverential tribute to the music he absorbed while growing up in the Northern Alberta Métis communities of Paddle Prairie, High Level, and Rocky Lane. Truly a family affair, it’s out now on Victory Pool Records and can be streamed here.

From the opening notes of the album, this notion rings true wholeheartedly; shades of classic boot stompin’ anthems shine through, offering glimmers of Waylon Jennings, Johnny Horton, and Conway Twitty; and the singer took a particular shred of influence from the “Bakersfield sound” scene, a strain of ’60s-era artists that infused traditional country & western songwriting with the electrified, then-new zing of rock & roll.

Presented “as a gift to my people, an exploration of the country & western and roots records they surrounded me with since childhood,” it wouldn’t truly be a Shane Ghostkeeper project without a few flashes of sonic risk-taking, with the latest single “Sunbeam” sporting a lightly psychedelic overcoat in tribute to Shane’s T. Rex and Led Zeppelin-loving Uncle Tucker. 

"Sunbeam was written for my late Uncle Tucker and the family he left behind. I was unable to attend his funeral so I wrote this to express my condolences and support for my Aunty Lorraine and my cousins. Tucker was a huge force in the Paddle Prairie Metis Settlement community and beyond, and he was a fiercely dedicated father and husband.”

Further extending the concept of “family,” Shane recruited a close-knit crew of collaborators to help him bring this project to life. Producer extraordinaire Lorrie Matheson (Rae Spoon, Art Bergmann), who has been part of the Ghostkeeper world since day one, and bandmates in the main Ghostkeeper band: drummer Eric Hamelin (known for his work with JOYFULTALK and drumming on Alvvays’ smash hit “Archie, Marry Me”), bassist Ryan Bourne (Chad Van Gaalen), and guitarist and pedal steel player Wayne Garrett (Surf Kitties).

“Freuchen tells how one day, after coming home hungry from an unsuccessful walrus-hunting expedition, he found one of the successful hunters dropping off several hundred pounds of meat. He thanked him profusely. The man objected indignantly:

"Up in our country we are human!" said the hunter. "And since we are human we help each other. We don't like to hear anybody say thanks for that. What I get today you may get tomorrow. Up here we say  that by gifts one makes slaves and by whips one makes dogs.

... The refusal to calculate credits and debits can be found throughout the anthropological literature on egalitarian hunting societies. Rather than seeing himself as human because he could make economic calculations, the hunter insisted that being truly human meant refusing to make such calculations, refusing to measure or remember who had given what to whom, for the precise reason that doing so would inevitably create a world where we began "comparing power with power, measuring, calculating" and reducing each other to slaves or dogs through debt. It's not that he, like untold millions of similar egalitarian spirits throughout history, was unaware that humans have a propensity to calculate. If he wasn't aware of it, he could not have said what he did. Of course we have a propensity to calculate. We have all sorts of propensities. In any real-life situation, we have propensities that drive us in several different contradictory directions simultaneously. No one is more real than any other. The real question is which we take as the foundation of our humanity, and therefore, make the basis of our civilization.”― David Graeber,

She was born in Bolzano, spent her childhood in Chiavenna (Sondrio, Italy) and her entire adult life in the UK, first in Sheffield England and the in Glasgow, Scotland. Now she is based in Berlin, Germany. Clelia’s journey into music started with her mum’s record collection, then on the dancefloor: she learnt basic DJ skills from  the Red Tape Studios (Sheffield) in 2000 and all there was left to do is to follow one’s bliss. The best opportunity came with the night DisOriental (Bradford), exploring the rich cultural intersections of Britan’s dance floor musical output. The search for different places to create space for people with music begun. In 2013 she joined The Audacious Art Experiment, a DIY autonomous space where she encountered the lived experience of punk, post-punk, noise, improv and a way for people to gather and experience outside of the club/venues music industry: this opened the opportunity to break out of given and purchasable musical experiences and to witness instead to a self-organised, open access, educational and critical network of musicians and activists. In 2014 she spoke at the Guelph Jazz Festival and connected with the work of Ajay Heble, well articulated in his co-authored book The Fierce Urgency Of Now: Improvisation, Rights and The Ethics of Co-creation. > Mixcloud > Soundcloud

Taking disparate facets of music and making something with a completely coherent vision, JOYFULTALK returns with a new album.

[burlveneer-music]

JOYFULTALK - Familiar Science - I can’t resist description like “a rousing feast of noise-tinged polychrome electronic avant-jazz“

JOYFULTALK returns with its third album for Constellation; another vibrantly divergent stylistic take on the analog materiality and sensibility of electronic composer-producer Jay Crocker, whose previous two records forged trance-inducing polyrhythmic intricacy, each from a distinct angle and sound palette, each enlisting a single instrumental collaborator. Familiar Science rallies contributions from a larger cast of musicians into a looser, cosmic recombinant combo—still shot through with JOYFULTALK’s singular mixing desk kinetics, but this time deep-diving into gnarled and twisted, spliced and diced out-jazz. Crocker draws inspiration from 1980s M-Base music and Ornette Coleman’s harmolodic funk period, while his own prior history as an improv guitarist also resurfaces for the first time in many years—an element in this polyvalent artist’s chemistry set that hasn’t appeared prominently in his own music for over a decade. Familiar Science finds Crocker folding time (as lockdown will do), immersed in his present-day kaleidoscope of solitary art and music practices in rural Nova Scotia, while channeling his former life as a bustling jazz collaborator in Calgary, Alberta. Building outwards from roiling resampled acoustic drums, Crocker extracted additional sonic and rhythmic textures, then formed the head of each song using dusted-off archival recordings and his own bass, keys and midi sequencing. Albertan percussionists Eric Hamelin (Ghostkeeper, Chad Vangaalen) and Chris Dadge (Lab Coast, Alvvays) provided improvised drum tracks to be chopped and harvested; Nova Scotia-based Nicola Miller (Ryan Driver, Doug Tielli) laid down resplendent excursions on saxophone and flute; Crocker’s own dexterous guitar appears on several cuts. Familiar Science also poignantly features samples from live recordings by the late Calgary saxophonist-iconoclast Dan Meichel, catalysing some of the album’s heaviest contortions. Crocker weaves all these raw materials into exuberant compositions that blur the line between sizzling corporeal combo and sampledelic futurist jamz, variously conjuring (leftfield) Flying Lotus, (later) Tortoise, BADBADNOTGOOD and Squarepusher’s Music Is Rotted One Note. The rubbery hyper-compression of boom-bap opener “Body Stone” initiates the séance, and the album offers a panoply of skittering grooves and soaring melodic pathways thereafter, through quags of heady jazz alternately streaked with dayglo delirium and other more vaporous states of revelry. Crocker’s own wordless stacked vocals are the giddy secret sauce on several cuts, and his lead guitar work (in kinship with the lean progressions of Mary Halvorson or Jeff Parker) features on “Take It To The Grave”, “Stop Freaking Out!” and the album’s title track. More honeyed passages on songs like “Blissed For A Minute” and “Ballad In 9” center around Nicola Miller’s buoyant alto sax and flute. Familiar Science is a rousing feast of noise-tinged polychrome electronic avant-jazz: richly harmolodic compositions teeming with intersecting textures and turbulences; exploratory, exhilarated and indeed joyful. Thanks for listening.

JOYFULTALK Interview: Planetary Polyrhythms

Photo by Annie France Noël

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Earlier this year, Nova Scotia composer Jay Crocker released his most sprightly, ambitious, and Steve Reich-like album yet as JOYFULTALK. Made with homemade instruments and a score based on a musical notation of his own invention, A Separation of Being is a three-piece suite of bouncy arpeggios and polyrhythms and lush strings arranged by Jesse Zubot. Its song titles are evocative of the different parts of the score and the feelings and images they exude. No pun intended, it’s a joy to listen to.

I caught up with Crocker over email to ask him a few questions about the record. Read our conversation below. 

SILY: How would you qualify A Separation of Being as different from your past releases?

Jay Crocker: A Separation of Being had a completely different compositional process than previous releases. I used a scoring system I created called "the planetary music system" to compose this music. Although I have been using this system for the last few years, ASOB is the first full scale piece I've created with it. It is a system that is based on gear sets which creates a sort of time signature independence between instruments. The system is graphic so the structures drawn on the score totally inform the structures of the music.

SILY: Does A Separation of Being have a lighter feel than your previous releases?

JC: I guess it is "lighter in a way." I was definitely focusing on having a more relaxed and soothing color and feeling to the music. I guess that's how I was feeling at the time...pre-pandemic.

SILY: Can you describe some of the instruments you made for the record?

JC: I use mostly samples of home of my home-built instruments. Homemade drum machines and synths and stuff. There are also a few other non-homemade synths and things in there. I use all hardware stuff.

SILY: Did you know what the string arrangement was going to sound like before it was recorded? Had you always had Jesse in mind to play the strings?

JC: I composed the strings early on in the composition, and I had a definite vision for what I wanted. I had Jesse in mind to play the parts for sure. He did a great job...he rules.

SILY: What’s the inspiration behind the record title?

JC: I have been exploring the idea of how many different perceptions and personalities we experience from one moment to another. I guess it's an exploration of that idea through sound...maybe?

SILY: Why did you want to express the song titles as parts 1, 2, and 3? What about the song titles after the part--were you trying to evoke what the songs sound like?

JC: It's based on the score. The score is divided into 3 movements--hence the 3 parts. The titles are there to give more imagery or explanation of what each movement represents.

SILY: What’s the story behind the cover art?

JC: The score is 5' x 10'. The cover art is a small sample of the final score.

SILY: Do you have any plans for live streams or rescheduled live dates?

JC: Nothing yet. I still don't feel like traveling too far from home  I have only performed one live stream early on during the pandemic but haven't felt compelled to explore that medium yet. I was never really a huge fan of the live concert video format.

SILY: What have you been reading, listening to, or watching lately?

JC: As serious as your life by Val Wilmer. Really like the latest Childish Gambino and revisiting some of Chris Corsano's discography. Watching The X-Files seasons 1-5...so good. Mark Snow's soundtrack work on that show is amazing.

Partly through technology, of course, but owing much to the composer’s own ingenuity, A Separation Of Being was made by just one person and an acoustic sideman, and makes densely assembled music sound feather-light and, yes, joyful.

The AM: July 4, 2022

Another pleasant stroll through some rainy day music. Neo-classical, dream pop, vintage groove, art-rock, avant-jazz, the genre's less important than the mood. Cool, refreshing, and sometimes a little bit of a downer in the best sort of way.
