If It Hits the Heart…

🎭 Velvet Sundown: A Band That Isn’t a Band? AI continues to shake up the creative world… and not just in theory. Recently, a band called Velvet Sundown made headlines. With over 1.5 million Spotify listeners and a polished aesthetic, it looked like a breakout indie band. But here’s the twist: it’s fully AI-generated. Music, vocals, visuals… the whole thing. Launched as a self-described “art hoax,” the project was designed to question authorship, identity, and…

We’re Longform in a Shortform World

Let’s be honest: music consumption today is all about the quick hit. Algorithms—those psychologically-tuned shuffle buttons—serve up instant dopamine. Singles rule. Playlists splice together moods like digital patchwork quilts. And yet… here we are. Still making albums. Not because we’re stuck in the past. Not to be contrarian for the sake of it. We do it because for us, the album is the only format that lets us do what we’re here to do: explore…

Elbows Up, Heads High, Stilts Ready

At SixFootStilts, this April feels like a crossroads — or maybe a slingshot. We’re shaking off winter’s last stubborn cling and hurtling headfirst into the wild chaos of closing one album while scheming the next. Right now, we’re deep in the messy magic:…

New Year’s Resolutions

This winter wasn’t too bad—until the Polar Vortex hit us this past weekend. Now it’s downright freezing—brrr! At least we can take comfort in being one-third of the way through the season.

All that extra time at home has been great for studio work—creating new music and preparing our…

OMG… Our Upcoming Album and Its Divine Soundscapes

In true SixFootStilts fashion, we’re exploring these ancient mythical legends with a modern twist in a way that’s both unique and engaging. For the last 8 years we’ve partnered together with…

SixFootSummer

The Labour Day weekend is upon us which means it’s the last weekend of the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE). Living close to Toronto I have always enjoyed the practice runs the RCAF does in the surrounding areas as they get in their practice runs for their annual Air Show at the CNE. Alas it also means back to school and signals that we are in the final few weeks of the summer season. I spent…
