Toronto-based producer and artist, Josh Korody (Nailbiter, Beliefs) who works under the moniker, Breeze\u00a0has shared his new single,\u00a0Come Around<\/em>. The track features a guest appearance from Canadian rapper\/artist,\u00a0Cadence Weapon\u00a0who found acclaim from Stereogum, FLOOD, Brooklyn Vegan, Bandcamp Daily, Exclaim and more for his recent album,\u00a0\u2018Parallel World\u2019. The new single along with the news of Korody’s second album under Breeze titled\u00a0\u2018Only Up,\u2019 set for release via\u00a0Hand Drawn Dracula\u00a0on\u00a0August 26, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written, recorded and mixed in 8 days,\u00a0\u2018Only Up\u2019 finds Korody enlisting a whirlwind of performances from\u00a0Tess Parks, Cadence Weapon\u00a0and a number of artists from the Toronto music scene, including members of\u00a0Orville Peck, Tallies, Vallens, Zoon, Sauna, Fake Palms, Rapport, Praises, Civic TV, Moon King, Blonde Elvis, For Jane, Ducks Ltd, TOPS\u00a0and\u00a0Broken Social Scene. The record sees Korody digging through and channeling three decades of anthemic British bands, from the angular guitars of late 70\u2019s post-punk (Gang Of Four, Wire), to the lush gloom of 80’s electro-pop (Tears for Fears, OMD), with the dance floor psychedelia of the Manchester sound (Primal Scream, Happy Mondays), and through the late ’90s and early 2000s post-punk\/new wave revivalists,\u00a0\u2018Only Up\u2019\u00a0celebrates it’s sound cathartically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This first single, Come Around<\/em> finds Korody tapping into swampy acid house aesthetics\u00a0reminiscent of\u00a0Primal Scream, The Orb and 808 State, featuring\u00a0a scintillating verse provided by the Edmonton-born, now Toronto-based artist, Cadence Weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about the track, Josh says: “Come Around is about someone that has done something horrible and has not shown any accountability or true remorse and the fear they \u2013 or have the nerve \u2013 to be able to jump back into a community that no longer feels comfortable around them. So, as I’m singing the song I’m picturing performing it live with them walking into the room and making people, especially the people closest to them, extremely uncomfortable and angry. The lyrics: “Yeah, you really did a number on this one” references the trauma they imposed upon the community. When Rollie (Cadence Weapon) comes in, his lyrical dialogue is a bit more separate, it’s more fun but still comes from frustration as well and it quickly takes myself and others out of that dark place with the hope of trying to move on and to enjoy the life we have.”<\/em> Watch the video for Come Around<\/em> via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
