**sunking:**

"BAM BAM" opens sunking's second album for ANTI- Records like the sun breaking through the clouds. Anchored by a groovy low-end—imagine if a walking bassline suddenly started breakdancing—the song moves with a propulsive but laid-back rhythm that sounds like '90s drum & bass, floating from the jazz origins of the duo's past work towards something more electronic and open-ended.

"We were playing these new tunes live, on the same bill as a jazz group, and it started to feel strange. Like, maybe this isn't the scene we're tapped into. It became clear we weren't actually a jazz band."

Bobby Granfelt and Antoine Martel have been playing in bands together since they were 15, but it's only recently that they've really found their groove. Part of Seattle jazz fusion group High Pulp for the better part of a decade, the duo originally branched off into sunking to explore their other loves. From hip-hop to electronic music to indie rock, sunking was their time off to play whatever they wanted and so records like 2022's Smug shot off excitedly in all directions.

Part of that everything-all-at-once feeling comes from the fact that the two members are polar opposites from each other, united more by friendship than taste or background. A producer, drummer and solo artist under the moniker Bobbyy, Granfelt lives in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles and brings his jazz and hip-hop sensibility to the table while Martel, in addition to being a killer synthesist, is a composer who embraces a more verdant lifestyle in a cabin outside of Seattle, works on films and makes eerie, sci-fi synth music under the name Sous Chef. Put them together, and you've got a duo with a thousand musical interests, seizing on whatever fancy grabs them at that moment before jetting off to the next.

Now a trio with High Pulp member Victory Nguyen joining the band when playing live on modular synth, saxophone and flute, their new album is different. The product of a real plan, instead of just recording on off days, I DON'T LIKE MY TELEPHONE is tight, laser focused, and more representative of who they are as musicians.

**Ken Yates:**

Ken Yates is an award-winning singer-songwriter known for his introspective storytelling and his signature blend of folk, indie, and rock influences. His latest album, Total Cinema (2025), marks a defining evolution in his sound. Working with producer Dan Ledwell in Halifax, Yates explores themes of gratitude and self-awareness with characteristic precision and emotional depth.

His new music has already captured critical attention, with NPR's Ann Powers declaring, "I'm obsessed with this song by Canadian troubadour Ken Yates, 'Cataclysmic End,’”, while Atwood Magazine declared the new music a “bright, cathartic reckoning.” Total Cinema features eleven tracks that showcase an artist who has found clarity in his creative vision, embracing both the shadows and light of human experience.

Total Cinema follows Yates’ 2022 album, Cerulean, which earned him a Contemporary Album of the Year nomination at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. Recently selected as an Official Showcasing Artist at SXSW and Americanafest 2024, Yates continues to grow his audience, opening for artists including Madison Cunningham, Passenger, and Kathleen Edwards, and collaborating with respected songwriters Trousdale, Katie Pruitt, Tiny Habits, and Lori McKenna. With the release of his new album, Yates continues to assert his place as one of the most incisive voices in rising indie music.
