THE ARTISTS:⁠

Described as “lush and somewhat mischievous, yet shimmering with melancholy” (Dave O Rama, BC Musician Magazine), Gentle Party is a chamber pop trio that pioneers an expansive sound distinct to their West Coast roots. The unique voice of each member comes together to create a sound that is dream-like, pandemonious, playful, and evocative. Both of their releases to date, Jouska (Phonometrograph, 2017) and God Complex (Phonometrograph, 2022), were longer-listed for the Polaris Prize and enjoy radio play nationwide. Their sophomore album, God Complex was released in February 2022, receiving widespread praise, with the generous support of Canada Council, Creative BC, and FACTOR. In Spring 2022 Gentle Party will be launching their God Complex Re:mix, a compilation 7" album of remixes by four acclaimed Vancouver producers. Gentle Party will be touring new music in the Spring, Summer, and Fall of 2022.
