X-Mas came early! Future Star and producer Andromeda Monk have gifted us a heartwarming, sleigh bell-driven single to soundtrack the holiday season.
Written about a snowy winter night in 2022, Future Star says this is “a song for all the shiftworkers and commuters who gambled on it being a mild winter and lost.”
Future Star is a Vancouver-based bedroom pop star who has been releasing catchy keyboard music with “sweet and comically candid lyrics” (Discorder) since 2016. With influences that include musical artists like Arthur Russell, Magnetic Fields, and Kero Kero Bonito, and visual artists such as Lynda Barry, Future Star has built a reputation for creating intimate live performances "loaded with understated significance and beauty" (Exclaim!).
Mint Records is an independent record label founded in 1991, whose purpose was to release the music of up-and-coming bands across Turtle Island, with a specific focus on sharing and supporting the burgeoning pool of talent in the local music community on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish peoples, colonially known as “Vancouver”. Co-founded in 1991 by CiTR 101.9 fM - UBC Radio alumni Randy Iwata and Bill Baker, over the past 30 years the label has released nearly 200 albums and has supported a diverse roster of talented artists and bands. The small and passionate team who currently run the label are community-minded, artist-friendly, and committed to making a more safe, equitable, just, accessible and sustainable music industry.
