| Another Planet 1001 | 
 | Arthur Capelin
Another Planet is the debut album from Newfoundland's Arthur Capelin. It is a sonic adventure, covering themes from the inspired to the mundane, death to bowling, by an artist who is unafraid, unbound, and unrepentant. It is quite simply an album to be experienced.
"...It is increasingly rare to come across an album that truly defies categorization, and it is even rarer when that sort of album can still be accessible and enjoyable. Such a rarity is the recent release by Arthur Capelin."
Gord Locke (The Muse) |  |

| Cock of the Walk 1098 | 
| Arthur Capelin
Arthur Capelin's second album, COCK OF THE WALK, features several selections which are downright cheerful. Still present are the lush and layered sweep of vocals and instruments and the often eclectic and poetic lyrics, yet one can sense a sharper sensibility and direction. From the modern pop/rock feel of "Extracked" to the buoyant swing of the title track and on to the subtlety and lushness of "Out West", this album finds the many musical, lyrical and stylistic realms of Arthur Capelin developing onward.
"...If originality is the struggle of this modern age, Arthur stands as a victor."

| The Reckless Kind 2068 | 
| Mark Bragg
His songs paint pictures - aural snapshots of tormented souls, striving to find peace with their circumstances... be it by retreat, denial, bemused acceptance, or deadly vengeance. The shadowy tones of the music set the perfect stage for these characters. Grimy guitar riffs, flailing piano style, slippery horns, and atmospheric steel guitar present flavors of rock, cabaret, blues, and country, while still allowing the songs to speak for themselves irrespective of any particular genre. In short, Bragg's music is inventive and inspired. | |
