Turtle Johnny — the Toronto-based project led by Christopher Shakleton — is back with a new EP. In the ban fashion, Goofy's Grief came together in three days, and arrives today independently.

The EP is a bit of a departure, taking the band in a synth-pop direction while Shackleton experiments with Autotune. "This years been a ride," he tells Exclaim! "Falling in and out of love, blood clots forming in my lungs again. Thought I'd try a different musical genre to express myself. My blood is thin now and this EP was therapy for me"

Goofy's Grief follows a string of collaborations, including the inception of Majestic Park and Turtle Johnny teaming up with Lewis Caunter for Berryman last year.
