The Feedback Society Pick of the Week – June Thrasher

June Thrasher, the new project of Saskatoon-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Kaelen Klypak. He’s playing Jazzfest on Saturday the 14th (Alt Hotel).

The Feedback Society’s Recommendation of the Week is June Thrasher!

Wow. What an amazing set of tracks, including this video for ‘Windmill City,’ which is also a cool video. If you like the soundtracky synthwave vibes of Cliff Martinez, Carpenter Brut, VHS, or John Carpenter, you’ll dig June Thrasher.

“June Thrasher, the new project of Saskatoon-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Kaelen Klypak. His debut album is a beaming exhibition of sky-sweeping and seismic neon-hued electronica, aptly fusing the haunting melodies of gothic-influenced new wave with effervescent galactic beats that unfold with meticulous precision and climax with kinetic momentum.”

Here’s the Bandcamp page with more music, including the album ‘Viper Creek.’
