Description
Recorded as a tenth‑anniversary project for the Canadian Arts & Crafts label, Various – Arts & Crafts X gathers unexpected pairings from across the roster into a proper front‑to‑back listen. You get the label’s full spread, from hushed folk corners to widescreen indie‑pop swells, stitched together with the kind of collaborative chemistry you can’t fake. It plays like a conversation between old friends rather than a sampler, which is why it still feels cohesive.
This LP pressing gives the arrangements room to breathe; space opens up between parts and the low end sits deeper without smudging the vocals. Imaging is tidy too, so those layered guitars and percussion sidestep the usual mush.
File it next to the Broken Social Scene era of sprawling Canadian indie, especially if you like hearing familiar voices thrown into new combinations. It’s a handy soundtrack for a late Saturday tidy or a quiet drive across Melbourne when you want movement without fuss. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Arts & Crafts X records online with us. Artwork and sequencing make more sense at full size, and the comp flows in a way streaming playlists rarely do.
A solid document of a label at play, and a nice way to trace the connective tissue between its tent‑pole acts and kindred outliers. Available online now or in our Melbourne shop, an easy pick for any Various fan.
