Montreal pop artist Alex Calder has been many things over the years, from a failed reality show host to a celebrity chef to Canada's best Quentin Tarantino impersonator. It's amazing he finds time to keep making music, but the artist has just returned with a new collection of B-sides and demos.
The release is called BEND, and it collects 15 tracks that were recorded between 2013 and 2015.
Speaking with Exclaim!, Calder explains, "This is like an in-between album while I work on, like, a 'real studio album' — [my] first time not recording at home."
Fortunately, he hasn't completely ditched his extracurricular activities. Calder recently reinvented himself as a laid back skater bro, and you can keep up with his chill vibes with the new "Alex Calder skates" Instagram account.
You can also give BEND a stream below. The album is currently a digital-only release, though it might get a limited cassette pressing down the line.
