Tolemn is a Montreal based electronic music duo consisting of Kirk Lau (synths and drum machines), and Michael Filtz (guitar and synths). Both hailing from sun-baked Southern California, their sound conjures bright rays of modern electronica cast onto the expansive snowy landscapes of Montreal post-rock.
“Nevada Springs,” their debut EP from 2020, envisioned the hidden realms beneath, within, and beyond civilization.
A year later, “Signs Vermillion” emerged—a dark opus ignited by the inferno of California’s 2020 wildfires and pandemic-driven anxieties.
Diving into the pulsating underbelly of metropolitan chaos, “Cities Unravel,” their third EP was inspired by NK Jemisin’s novel “The City We Became” and fuses beats, angular guitar, and throbbing synths into an odyssey through a rapidly changing city.
Tolemn announces new EP 2024
Old Amherst Recordings is thrilled to announce the release of ‘jango,’ the fourth EP from Montreal-based electronic music duo Tolemn. Following more than a year of honing the tracks at venues across the city, the duo is set to unveil their latest musical endeavor, marking a significant milestone in their artistic journey. This EP not only signifies their fourth release but also represents a new high-water mark for the duo.
‘jango’ showcases a raw energy that can be seamlessly translated into their live performances as a duo. Drawing inspiration from the experimentalism of the golden age of Thrill Jockey post-rock and infusing it with elements of modern indie electronica, Tolemn has crafted a collection of songs that push the boundaries of their genre.
Thematically, the EP delves into the nuances of post-pandemic life, exploring the complexities and tedium that have become inherent in our daily existence. ‘jango’ invites listeners on a sonic journey that reflects the shared experiences of navigating an uncertain world, while simultaneously offering moments of euphoria and escapism.
‘jango’ can be found on all major streaming services.
