Skinny Dyck

Resist the urge to laugh at Skinny Dyck - the playful alias of western Canadian artist Ryan Dyck (or don’t, that’s kind of the idea). Victory Pool Records is thrilled to announce Easygoing, the new full-length album from Skinny Dyck, following hot on the heels of 2022's Palace Waiting, which “distilled the spirit of wide-cut country,” according to Exclaim! magazine. Easygoing sees Dyck moving a few steps further away from the country music environs he once wholly inhabited, but fear not, twang fans: rather than replacing that sound wholesale, he and his studio collaborators have instead created their own hybrid approaches. Or, as Dyck puts it, “I still like to collect my mail at the old shack off the highway, but I no longer want to live there exclusively.”


Aladean Kheroufi

As a lover of soul music it can be tough to lift your head from boxes of fifty year old 45s. From the iron-hand of Berry Gordy in Detroit to amphetamine-zonked working class kids in the North of England, to harmonizing Tejanos, and California car culture, soul music is a genre of subgenres each requiring nuance to properly understand. It’s intoxicating and addictive. If you’re reading this though, you’ve picked up something different. Aladean Kheroufi, a Canadian by way of Algeria has got something new to show you. His sparse, minimalist sound is a fresh and contemporary examination of soul music which we’re proud to press to vinyl.
