Canadian songwriter Rae Spoon has slowly been building the Coax Records imprint, and it just got a little bit bigger. Edmonton duo Concealer have signed to Coax for their debut album Fêted:Fetid, which will be out on September 4.
Concealer is fronted by Mark Davis, who has previously worked as a solo artist and has been in the band Old Reliable. He sings and plays treated bass, while collaborator missmannered handles electronics. Fêted:Fetid was produced by Lorrie Matheson at Calgary's Arch Audio studio.
According to the group's press materials, "Sleazy rock'n'roll and proto-punk collide with emotionally naked post-folk" to form a sound that they describe as "heavy wave."
Rae Spoon said in a statement, "I remember the first time I saw Concealer play live. I was blown away by the combination of roots and electronic music that elevated instead of clashed with each other. They are a band that displays the kind of musical innovation that I admire so much. When I decided to set up a record label and release albums from other artists they were at the top of my list for bands to work with."
