Free Lynxii makes music to give pets to your kitty by.
Born from years of being unsure and awkward, performing with successful abusive rock dudes and toxic music scenes in downtown Toronto for a decade, Free Lynxii is dusts off cobwebs to bring you weird ambient glitch house and maybe some songs reminiscent of 90s grunge.
L'nu magick for lovers and their mothers.
Neurodivergent lonercore from the dark web.
Mu Kejitu was independently released November 26, 2021 as an experimental five song mini EP. Mu Kejitu means I don't know in Mi'kmaw.
The release begins with Psyche, a downtempo future bass synth experiment, layering 90 hrz wav files underneath samples from 90s children show Teletubbies. A distorted soundscape of stirring tubby custard and the delightful cacophany of alien giggles envelop a chilling sensory space.
Inspired by Chladni patterns, geometric formations created on violin plates when subjected to the vibrations of deeper frequencies, Psyche is a deliberate inquiry into the therapeutic qualities of sound and energetic manipulation.
The second track, Heavy Breathing was composed in collaboration with Indigenous incubator project, New Constellations in 2017 with Revolutions Per Minute. A mixtape mentorship project funded by FACTOR and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Lynx met with mentor, Raphaelle Standell-Preston (Braids/Blue Hawaii) over five months in 2017.
Airy spoken verses of poetry paints the track with esoteric elements, doubled vocals marry with chorus-heavy looped guitar and midi blips building a lustful, atmospheric charge.
Sweet Eighteen bleeds with bedroom pop ambiance and saccharine vibes overtaking the middle of the record. A nod to the shoegazer textures of Beach House, Cigarettes After Sex, and Air's Virgin Suicides soundtrack, Sweet Eighteen is heavily saturated with tremolo effects on both piano and guitar, stretching outward like ripples in water. Sweet Eighteen remarks on the artist's conversation with their mother about the unlikelihood of living past the age of eighteen, and secretly holding fears of completing suicide.
The song simmers, never reaching climax as the notes pinch and ascend slightly in a tense five minutes of whispers and instrumental art noise. Sweet eighteen festers like a sticky lump in your throat, and caught emotions.
The melancholy fever breaks on track 4 with Hyperlexia, as you are met with the faelike trickery of meeting a seductive djin at an underground bar, the scent of vodka and lime in the room as haunting echolalias and vocal tics taunt and tease. Reminiscent of early 2010s witch house acts like oOoOO, Holy Other, Sepalcure and Clams Casino, Hyperlexia weaves trap beats with transient glitched home vocal recordings of cathartic baby noises filtered through various effect modulators.
Pingu's Dad closes off the EP with a blast of Pingu samples spilling out over a trap-inspired breakbeat. Experimenting with nostalgic children's show samples like Pingu spawned Mu Kejitu as a concept project.
Mu Kejitu ponders the hangover effects of returning to childlike spaces as an adult, where comfort and safety is met with unease, realizing that the memory was fonder than the truth.
Also, Pingu's dad in the claymation show is kind of a scary asshole, with startling normalization of abuse dynamics.
The track ebbs and flows with Pingu's conversational, occasionally alerting noot-noots and ghostly laughs that syncopate with disjointed, off-putting quarter note synths which are not too dissimilar sounding from a corny Hallowe'en cassette tape.

Neurodivergent lonercore from the dark web. Queer and divine, quiet and sublime, growling and tremoring.
