Edwin Raphael • Moonstruck (feat. Diya Britto) • 2026

“There's a particular way light particles interact that Montreal-based folk singer-songwriter Edwin Raphael captures in his thoughtfully expansive, globe-trotting soundscapes. "Mosaic in the Sun" and "A Sunbeam Lent to Us Briefly," arrive with the breathless wonder of language's inability to articulate the emotional heft of a momentary prism falling upon the scene just so.”

“...it’s indie folk with enough orchestral weight to fill a room. These are songs built for distance and open windows.” - Montreal Rocks

“Buzzing drones meet uplifting guitar melodies as Edwin Raphael’s imaginative narrative unravels on First Time on Earth. The ebbs and flows from bursts of energy to pulled-back introspective moments. Life brings with it more questions than answers, but it’s seeking beauty in the mundane, in the wonder of small miracles, that we find meaning."

Delivery • Measuring Cup • 2026

“Measuring Cup,” the buzzing post-punk cut they’ve released in tandem with the news, builds around vocalist Rebecca Allan’s sardonic delivery and sharp guitar stabs. “There is a certain kind of pressure in modern society to be vigilant about who someone is,” the band shared about the new tune, “what they stand for and if they are ‘your people.’ But it’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s a challenge to engage positively with people who hold different values or stances, and a celebration when you know you’ve found someone who aligns with you, whether that’s politically, socially, or personally. ‘Measuring Cup’ is like an invitation to get on a level together and join the club.” FLOOD
