***BACK IN STOCK!!! “A Montreal-based artist and grizzled veteran of the Canadian Children’s Opera Company, Roby wrote Beacon in 2015 following the death of her father. Collaborating with her brother Eliot — and using synthesizers and drum machines from her father’s studio — Roby sought to craft a “spiritual homage,” both to her father, and to the beacon the album takes its title from (a Napoleonic War-era watch tower that still sits atop Ashurst Hill in Dalton, Lancashire.) Fittingly, Roby’s music is awash with ethereal synths, imbued with a sense of longing for a place, moment, or feeling, like its searching for a guiding light in the darkness.”—Tiny Mix Tapes

***BACK IN STOCK AT A NEW LOWER PRICE!!! Introducing TESS ROBY, a 23 year old musician and photographer born in Toronto and now living in Montreal. "Ballad 5" is a song of love and loss in the humid Montreal summer—the sound of Parc Avenue in the blue light of dawn. Her music echoes the cascading pulse of Steve Reich, the drone of Stereolab, and the melancholic drift of Durutti Column, and her voice lands somewhere between Broadcast's Trish Keenan and Nico. On record she is accompanied by her brother ELIOT ROBY Roby on guitar. Limited Edition of 500 on ultra clear vinyl.
