Secretly Canadian

Secretly Canadian is a US label based in Bloomington, Indiana. It was founded in 1996 by four individuals who are passionate about music. Originally known as Secretly Canadian Records, the label has established itself as a prominent player in the industry. In 2007, Secretly Canadian collaborated with another label to form a new entity called Jagjaguwar.

The label's first address was located at 1703 N. Maple St., Bloomington, until sometime in late 2000 or 2001. They then moved to their second address at 1021 S. Walnut St., Bloomington, which served as their headquarters until around 2004. Currently, Secretly Canadian can be found at their third and current address at 1499 W. 2nd St.

With a rich history and an impressive roster of artists, Secretly Canadian continues to make waves in the music industry. Their commitment to quality and passion for supporting talented musicians sets them apart from other labels.

Josiah Wise, known professionally as <en>Serpentwithfeet</en>, is an experimental musician based in Brooklyn, New York. He gained recognition with the release of his EP "blisters" in 2016 and went on to debut his studio album "soil" in 2018. With a unique blend of soulful vocals and avant-garde production, Serpentwithfeet has carved out a distinct sound that pushes the boundaries of contemporary R&B.

Influenced by artists such as Kelsey Lu, Yves Tumor, and FKA twigs, Serpentwithfeet's music explores themes of love, spirituality, and identity. His captivating performances often feature intricate vocal harmonies and theatrical elements that create an immersive experience for audiences.

With critical acclaim and a growing fanbase, Serpentwithfeet continues to push the boundaries of genre conventions while maintaining an authentic and emotive approach to his artistry. His music resonates with listeners who appreciate innovative soundscapes and thought-provoking lyrics.

This is the new album by serpentwithfeet, Soil, released via Secretly Canadian and Tri Angle Records. soil features contributions from rising experimental producer mmph, sound manipulator Katie Gately, A$AP Rocky contemporary Clams Casino, and Paul Epworth. The project recorded between New York City’s WhiteWater production house and Epworth’s London studio was co-produced by serpentwithfeet. serpentwithfeet is an experimental R&amp;B / gospel vocalist and performance artist whose growing body of work is rooted in dueling obsessions with the ephemeral and the everlasting – key components of his artistic journey from a childhood stint as a choirboy in Baltimore through his time at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where he studied vocal performance before relocating to New York City.

soil is a return to the sensibilities and wide-eyed curiosity of his musical youth before symmetry and sterile soundscapes ruled the roost. On soil, serpentwithfeet trades glossolalia and peacocking showmanship for intricately layered harmonies, a sumptuous bottom register that appears for the first time to challenge his fluttering tenor, and ballsy sonic experimentation encouraged by Gately, whose talent he describes as “making voices sound like elephants and elephants sound like car engines.” Together they develop an unctuous sound that suggests billowing clouds and the dense, plodding stomp of 12-bar blues.
