Hear “Phosphorescence,”
the lead single from the upcoming new album Crescent
by Speaker Face, at Atwood
Magazine or at the links above.
“It’s easy to get lost in the intimate waves of Speaker Face’s lush sound: They
cultivate a strong hypnotizing presence that arrests the senses, tickling the
ears while reaching out to each of us on a far more visceral level. They
describe their sound as “the feeling of a twilight festival stage and a summer
swim,” hoping listeners resonate with the richness of their tones and their
beat’s natural qualities.” – Mitch Mosk,

About | Speaker Face
Toronto, Canada’s Speaker
Face is a meeting of earth and electronics from two members of the JUNO award winning band The Fretless. Trent Freeman and Eric
Wright are joined by Ruby Randall,
whose voice haunts with an honest beauty that can’t be forgotten.
The band’s transportive new album Crescent (Oct. 9th, 2020) is an
immersive experience, layered with keys, beats, and atmospheric production, but
also incorporating the propulsive strings that have made Freeman and Wright
essential players in the mainstreaming of traditional Irish folk music with The Fretless.
“The violin is a very unique element in this genre of
music,” Freeman says. “I approach it
primarily as a groove instrument. I love the pulse and foundation it can
create.”
Wright is a cellist in The
Fretless and he brings the bass in Speaker
Face, too.
“My inspirations are mostly derived from a hip-hop
sensibility,” he says of the hypnotic beats he contributes to the album. “I’ve
been making beats since I was 13-years-old. 2PAC, Dr. Dre, and Wu-Tang Clan were on repeat. For this
album, I sampled crate vinyl for kick sounds and merged those with my own
samples. The sampled vinyl with the liveliness of the natural samples creates
the soundscape.”
Randall gilds the frame with her ethereal voice, which was
recorded three different times in unison and “mixed all around your head so it
feels like you’re swimming in the ocean of her vocals,” Freeman explains.
“I’m so excited to
share these Speaker Face tunes with
the world,” Randall adds. “Trent has poured himself into these
songs and it has been an honor to be able to bring my voice to them.
