Vancouver

damian michaels makes indie pop that sounds like a love song until something strange swims into view. Part of the unseen sea collective, his music pairs intimate, sometimes off-kilter vocals and infectious pop hooks with deep-sea mythology, religious symbolism, dark humour, and a surprising amount of grief. The songs move between tenderness and absurdity, sometimes within the same verse. Some are sweet, some are shameless, and some wait until the last thirty seconds to tell you what they're actually about.
