In the news again: CASSETTES!

We're a bit chuffed (as the Brits say) to report that Wavelength played a bit of a matchmaker role in this story: back in June, we booked Toronto dubbed-out ambient trio The Deeep to open for L.A.'s Pocahaunted at our wondrous Summer Courtyard Series co-presentation at (and with) the Music Gallery, along with Doldrums (who seem to be everywhere these days) and Wet Nurse (who we'd like to hear more from). Wolfgang, Isla and Victoria from The Deeep hit it off with the guys from Pocahaunted — who have since called it a day, sad to say — and kept in touch. Not long after, the Cali crew offered to release The Deeep's cassette on their label Not Not Fun, home to some of the craziest psych/noise jams in the U.S. of A. and worldwide.

You can order the Life Light cassette here.

And here's what the Pocas had to say about how it all came to be:

"June in Toronto is a beautiful thing so we might be biased but our one night there centered
around a verdant open-air courtyard and a mesmerizing dusk-lit live
performance by local beat/vocables duo The Deeep and it was obvious we
had to hear more. And this is that, Life Light, the band’s debut
release, starring six spellbound permutations of their synth-art choral
chemistry. Soak the glow. The album dissolves from communal
bass-loop/drum machine chant templates like “Mudd” into desolate
cinematic ghost-choirs (“Abyssal Plain Pt. 1 & 2”) then spirals back
into weirdo rubberized synthesizer sculptures (“Dream”) and closes with
the 90s-vibed silk-groove chill-out single, “Slow Coaster.” The dynamic
of Isla Craig’s flowing crushed velvet vocals and Wolfgang Nessel’s
electric drift/rhythm methods is given ample room to slink, soar, and
slow-dive, and the motion is magic."
