Today Vancouver musician Jasper Sloan Yip released the double EP called Strange Calm / Blushing Autumn via Tiny Kingdom Records.
Strange Calm is a very dream, ambient atmospheric and emotional folk pop EP
Blushing Autumn is a straight forward indie folk pop fall-vibe EP.
About the double EP:
When he set out to record Strange Calm in early 2020, Yip was trying to say goodbye. “I was dealing with a lot of climate dread, and at the same time, I could feel my musical life being pulled apart by different but equally powerful forces,” says Yip. “The songs on Strange Calm reflected these anxieties, and somehow helped me make peace with them too. It’s a study in coping with these modern anxieties, and in it’s own way, an expression of gratitude despite it all.”
In March of 2020, Jasper Sloan Yip and his band arrived at The Noise Floor on Gabriola Island to record Strange Calm with producer Jordan Koop (Orville Peck, Wolf Parade, Rae Spoon) the day before life on the west coast shut down. “It was surreal. On one hand, it felt like an isolated recording studio was the perfect place to make an album about the end of the world, but on the other, we also understood that at any moment one of us might start showing symptoms, or we may be ordered by the province to pack up and go home. This tension was infused into everything we did.”
