Since 2008, Lab Coast has been delivering hazy bursts of hook-laden guitar pop via a string of criticallyacclaimed, award-winning albums, EPs, and singles. From their basement studio in Calgary, Alberta, the songwriting team of singer David Laing & multi-instrumentalist Chris Dadge (Chad VanGaalen, Alvvays, Bug Incision, Samantha Savage Smith) carve out detailed analog productions; these recordings draw from the wealth of instruments that friends leave at the Lab Coast practice space, and the ever-evolving recording techniques that they've been honing since day one. Their home-brewed recordings sit in the tradition of DIY-recorders such as Strapping Fieldhands, early Guided By Voices, and R. Stevie Moore, while the songs themselves recall the likes of Teenage Fanclub, Tom Petty, and The La's. 2016's 'Remember The Moon' endeared itself to listeners with its compact, tightly-wound strings of melody, bustling rhythms, and Laing's understated crooning and strangely-abstract-yet-poignant lyrics, which sit atop FX-drenched guitars, rubbery bass parts, cello, violin, hybrid sampled/live drum parts, pitch-shifted percussion, sax, banjo, and organ. Upon its release, the Toronto Star gushed that “Lab Coast has grown so good at making a certain species of scuffed-up, small-scale psych-pop that the rest of Canada really no longer has any excuse not to pay attention.”
