Hi Our Basement,
Motivated by the tarot card of the same name, our music as Ace of Wands is about will and determination – to create and destroy, and to bring about physical, mental, and spiritual transformation. Our song’s content is deeply personal, reflecting themes of love, loss and trauma. We strive to create continuity between each of the elements of our art; from music and video to merch and live performance.
Currently, we are attempting to reject traditional forms of releasing physical copies of our music in favour of more creative and sustainable methods. Our new single, “Grown from Good,” is being released as a digital download, printed on paper embedded with wildflower seeds, and accompanied by a glass jar of full of soil. We encourage you to use your download code, then take the card to plant at a park, on the side of the road – anywhere that needs life, beauty, and growth. All components of the package are environmentally friendly with no wasteful components.
For the filming of the “Grown from Good” video, Lee swam through near-freezing temperatures in Georgian Bay and Lake Ontario while dragging 30’ of handsewn, recycled fabric. It’s the first in a trilogy of videos that follow us through different landscapes and seasons, chronicling our journeys of self-discovery, self-hatred, and self-love.
Thank you for taking the time to pause and listen. We look forward to sharing more of ourselves with you this year.
Ace of Wands – Lee Rose, Anna Mernieks, Jody Brumell
Good morning!
Hello
Hi. It’s Monday. I have nothing to say, but it’s o.k. (Break into The Beatles’ *Good Morning*.)
Hello hello!
I rather enjoyed the Ace of Wands track, I’m looking forward to hearing more from them.
On ‘The Current’ (CBC R1) this morning, an interesting discussion about whether it’s even possible, or provable, that we’re living in a simulated universe. For those who like that kind of stuff.
(I’m in the “are you kidding me?” camp.)
I would say it’s possible but nigh on impossible to prove
I think it’s a fun discussion to have, but like Garf, impossible to prove, which would make me sceptical about the whole theory.
Garf, that’s what the “I’m not against it but I think it’s unlikely” guy had as one of his main objections.
Me: Also, I think that the universe being so incredibly ‘granular’ — we keep going down to smaller and smaller particle-waves until thing are quantum, and weird –, the simulator machinery would have to be even more finely granulated.
Lightning exchanges of rapier-like wit all ’round.
anybody else use the spotify web player regularly? I noticed it doesn’t show people connections, like the 3 people I follow (or maybe 4)
So…Ace of Wands is the band name, right? this is one of those situations where it’s not 100% clear
it’s sort of Cocteau Twins meets early Sarah McLachlan
nvm…noticed they mention the “Grown for Good video…” It’s all clear now
and the related videos tells me it’s a tarot card
I only use the spotify app and I try to always post in the order of
artist/band – track/album title
It is the way I have done it since the days of Craig’s meld/weld shows
Late hello again.
The Ace of Wands track is pretty cool. Just yesterday I was trying to think of a creative way for a band to sell their digital downloads. I like the seeds idea.
Anyone watch the Junos? I caught some of the backstage live feeds and watched a few clips from the show this morning. Some good stuff. I love Jesse Reyez. Yay for local boys The Dead South winning an award!
I will check in tomorrow.
I use the Spotify apps as well. It just works better for me.
