UWUW, is - Jay Anderson (Badge Epoque Ensemble, Biblical, Lammping) - drums- Ian Blurton - (Ian Blurton's Future Now / Change of Heart / C'mon) - guitar and production- Jason Haberman - Bass (Yaehsun / Dan Mangan) BassGuest Vocals by - Drew Smith and Marker StarlingAfter many years of playing in mutually respected bands, Jay Anderson and Ian Blurton came together through a run of shows, backing mutual friend and singer/songwriter, Kate Boothman as her drummer, and guitarist, respectively. Anderson's and Blurton's connection were instant, and a plan was set to start making music together. As ideas began to take shape, Anderson suggested bringing in Jason Haberman, a talented bassist, who Anderson had seen play with Toronto indie-folk band, The Wooden Sky.The trio hunkered down for two days in Blurton's Pro Gold Studios, jamming out ideas. With the intersection of the many different bands and genres each brought to the table, songs came together quickly, with Blurton editing and sculpting, as they went along. Realizing they didn't want an instrumental record, they layered on bright horns and smooth vocals, lifting the songs from instrumental jams, to the undefinable yet distinctive sound that is, UWUW.Saxophonist, Jay Hey, was brought in to provide horn arrangements, along with Tom Richardson on trombone and Patrick McGroarty on trumpet, all three contributing on every song.Giving the songs a voice, literally, are two of Toronto's most distinctive songwriters Drew Smith (Bunny, The Bicycles), providing his trademark, 60s harmony pop and lyrical prowess to InchStaircaseInch and InchLandlordInch; and Marker Starling; adding his distinct, easy-glide, story-telling charm to Box Office Poison, and Scattered Ashes.A1 Scattered AshesA2 Staircase To The End Of The NightB1 LandlordB2 Box Office Poison

When four former members of much loved but sadly disbanded Finnish metal act GHOST BRIGADE got together for a conversation in their hometown Jyväskylä in late 2020, things escalated quickly into an unexpected direction that ultimately led to the birth of CERESIAN VALOT. With multiple songwriters in their new band as well as two vocalists singing in Finnish, guitarist and main songwriter Wille Naukkarinen was confident that the musical style of the new band would change all by itself. Time proved him right, with the sound of the debut album InchUumenInch (InchDepthsInch) turning out as stylistically very dynamic and multidimensional with a broad range of sound and vision that include alternative, rock, progressive, and various genres of metal among others. Written in Finnish language, the lyrics on this album circle around the theme of insecurity. While the album often sounds bleak and melancholic, it's lyrics do not only dwell in doom and gloom, but they also offer some hope and a light at the end of the tunnel - although it might appear to be rather dim. As CERESIAN VALOT include songwriters, graphic designers, producers, mixing & recording engineers, and even a mastering engineer in their ranks, it is hardly a surprise that the band employs a strong DIY-ethos. With InchUumenInch, CERESIAN VALOT embark on an exciting new musical journey that weds something old, something new, something borrowed, something dark, and a golden talent for captivating melodies in their hands Surrender to the unknown and enjoy it's beauty!
