Artist: ARK IDENTITY
Who: The moniker for Toronto‘s alternative
artist and producer Noah Mroueh.

Track: SIT
New single.

Mroueh: “Politics, racism, sexism, social media, people constantly arguing,
the news, algorithms, It feels like there’s almost no space to just think for
yourself anymore. ‘SIT’ came out of that frustration.”

“In a world that constantly demands our attention and reaction, choosing to stop,
sit still and think for yourself can be the most radical thing you do. For me, sitting
becomes an act of rebellion.”


Sit here

TUTV: If your feet don’t react, your pelvis doesn’t start shaking, and your head doesn’t go forth and back to this firm footstomper you need to change your meds and/or consult a shrink. This bass/drum motorized riff banger rotates on and on. Ark Identity moves and grooves with funky panacherie.

This is the sort of enlivening tune that makes you jump out of bed, makes you dance around your kitchen table, and makes you leave your house for a brisk walk and a sit in the park, following your instincts, feeling confident and determined to make your own mark, regardless of what others think.

Again, we experience that galvanizing music
can resuscitate yout numb psyche.

“Sit down, breathe out
Don’t lose your head now
Reach out, shut down
Find out and fuck around

Artist: ARK OF IDENTITY and DOUBLE WISH
Who: Ark Identity is the dream pop solo project
of Toronto’s Noah Mroueh and Double Wish is the
moniker for singer-songwriter Philippe Andre.

Track: AEROPLANE
From the upcoming EP, named
Deeper Ecstasy and out Feb 28th.

It’s a deeply introspective song that explores the tension between holding onto the past and the desire to break free. The song’s evocative soundscape and lyrical depth invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences of being suspended in that space between departure and arrival, both physically and emotionally.

Laid-back moments of Band of Horses come to mind.
Great harmonies, infectious melodiousness, frolicsome
flow. Mixed emotions? Get on the aeroplane.

“I’ll be sure to think of the day
Nostalgic tides washing away
It’s so calm to know
That I’m letting go”
