About Us
The Solanaceae Artist Collective is a group of arthouse indie musicians from Winnipeg, Canada. We create music in a variety of genres.
We are dark, pretentious and drug addled.
All of our music can be found on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and all of those places. We can be found on Soulseek under the username ".:SolanaceaeCollective" I try to be online as often as I can. Of course, we give you permission to share our work wherever you please.
You will not be hearing what you are used to hearing, but don't worry we try not to be too difficult to your mainstream sensibilities. You will have to understand that you are about to experience something you never thought possible. You will not have realized music can do that. Don't worry, we're not
weird, we're never
weird, we don't make any
weird stupid noises.
Music is now reaching the point of total refinement. We no longer make any weird stupid noises. Pop music, though most of it falls under the sheen of unartful mediocrity, is most certainly refined. More importantly, underground art house music has discovered, broken, repaired and refined every element of sound. It is now ready to be brought to the attention of the general public and that is what we are here to do. We are here to take the advancements of the underground and make them palatable to the masses.
We don't want a record label, we don't need a record label, fuck your record labels. Take God's art and filter it through the sheen of unartful mediocrity to make it more palatable to the idiotic masses and then rape and rape your beautiful artists so you may hoard and hoard while your artists starve. We envision a future where success is based on artistic talent and not marketing. We envision a future where art is always free. Our music will always be free.
No you may not play our music on the radio, no you may not review our work on your website or magazine, no you may not give us any awards or accolades, no we do not sell merchandise. We do not despise these four things as we despise mainstream record labels but they are not for us. No you may not remix or cover our music if you are not an artist under our collective. No you may not use any of our music anywhere if you are not an artist under our collective or friendly with an artist under our collective, not for commercial purposes, not for non-commercial purposes. I apologize if this all seems a little over the top.
You may learn all about what we consider good music to be at
Bright Neon Lights. Our written words of fiction and poetry can be found at
Ethereal Pages. Our cute little indie role playing video games can be found at
Telephasic Workshop.
Announcements
July 24th, 2024 .: First Resplendent Chromaticity, Incandescent Bioluminescence and Kaleidoscopic Geometry Album
Here is the introduction to
Resplendent Chromaticity, Incandescent Bioluminescence and Kaleidoscopic Geometry, it's kinda sorta standard, I will be expanding on it in the future. "
Talking to Trees LP."
July 17th, 2024 .: New Future Project Conceived
I've been working on this one already for the past few days but I didn't have a name for it yet so I didn't post it. Should only be a week or three before you get to hear it. "Resplendent Chromaticity, Incandescent Bioluminescence and Kaleidoscopic Geometry."
July 13th, 2024 .: New Kit Carruthers Compilation
I found some more early unreleased music. "
Early Kit Carruthers Compilation II." Oh and the other day I released a forgotten
Offret, "
Five Year Winter."
June 25th, 2024 .: New Kit Carruthers Compilation
I decided to put some early unreleased music on my
Kit Carruthers Bandcamp page. "
Early Kit Carruthers Compilation."
June 19th, 2024 .: New .//phenethylamine Album
Phew, after a bunch of mediocre Kit Carruthers work I was worried I had slipped into mediocrity and was going to get stuck there. I realized I still need to do one more thing with the current iteration of
.//phenethylamine. Obviously the final evolution of this ever increasing levels of complex and dramatic that I have been doing with these first few albums is absolute sensory overload. "
If You Think That There Is a Solution, You'll Die Here. LP" I'm afraid I have used up my current stash of photography. I have like five more but they're all for the next few
Offrets, soo... I had to do digital art for this one. Which I guess means the new
.//phenethylamine format is either photography or digital art for album covers because I can't just go implying the format is photography and then there's this one big stupid anomaly. Could you imagine a reality where I allow myself to break format? Absurd. An absurd reality that could never possibly exist. And no it is not a wormhole it's just a bunch of colours.
May 22nd, 2024 .: Bandcamp
I decided what the hell we'll just put the whole damn Solanaceae Collective on Bandcamp as well. In order to avoid any fuss when we attempt to get our solo dicking around in other genres music on compilations from other labels the music under our pseudonyms is still officially not on any label. This music is still under The Solanaceae Artist Collective as an artist collective but not as a label. And if any of the other labels we release on has a problem with that they can fly directly up their own ass.
March 21st, 2024 .: New Offret Compilation
I had a dream last night about making an
Offret compilation of the best of my older work and I figured if unconscious me wants it done I guess it's getting done. "
The Offret Compilation." Unfortunately the music I made in my dream does not actually exist, "my" dream music is always the most beautiful music I've ever heard. Oh and the fact that the album art is a vague glimpse of the horizon and there is a track entitled "A Vague Glimpse of Horizon" happened independently of eachother but I probably don't need to point these things out anymore you can just assume. Also I named the track "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Dying in Space" before I made it and realized it sounds a whole lot like dying in space. You will see that I kinda reused a certain sound from this in
The Dry Path as the plan was I would not be making this music full public.
March 20th, 2024 .: New Future Project Conceived
You know what? I think I'll just keep thinking up new projects and never stop. I cannot be stopped. I was all "I hope we find a dark passionate country side act that I can make post-rock I hope we find a dark passionate country side act that I can make post-rock." Then I'm all "Oh, right, I know how I can make that project happen." "Drunk and Dead in the Grass."
February 13th, 2024 .: New Offret Album
The sixth
Offret album is up. "
They're Harvesting our Organs LP." I am a very scary person. And no I did not murder a dog and record it those sounds came out of various synthesizer plugins. "Oh, oops, we're sounding like a dying dog again, I guess these last two tracks sound like a dying dog."
February 4th, 2024 .: New Offret Album
The fifth
Offret album is up. "
Mystery is a Fiction Genre Where the Nature of an Event Remains Mysterious Until the End of the Story LP." You may like this one better than previous
Offret albums if you are frightened of things that are frightening.
