Oh, Canada (Discussions w/ Soren Bryce)

“Is it ever real?” Bryce whispers eagerly and
repeatedly in the kickoff track to her 2018 album,
Discussions With Myself.  The album becomes an
echo chamber for that very question, as she masterfully
blurs the line between conscious awareness and what’s
lurking in the subconscious. The heady synth-pop beats
make the listener feel as if they’re floating, and it’s
only when they hear the weight of her words that they
touch back down. From contemplating intangible
realities on planes to wallpapering the inside of her
brain, Soren is a skillful lyricist who isn’t afraid to
delve into the darker parts of isolation and
introspection. She has created a brilliant sonic and
lyrical duality that is enormously intoxicating and
ethereal, while remaining cerebral and grounded.
Discussions With Myself is a fully realized dream,
bridging the gap between reality and fantasy, the
internal and external.


Listen in as we discuss Soren’s musical journey, A
Haunting at Hill House, derealization, and, of course,
the delicious disaster that is Fyre Festival.
