Being bold and creating the ability within to dare to transcend beyond societies rules while creating his own level of cool, Les Techno continues to stay true to himself and “Edge of the World” subliminally speaks of his courage to withstand any and all criticism that comes the way of an artist who knows exactly who they are and isn’t afraid to express themselves along their journey of life. Taking an experimental instrumental approach that instantly leads listeners back into the headspace of some of the greatest music to come out of the 70’s and 80’s, Les Techno stands eye to eye with a new beginning that he has been craving to experience. Synths and an erotica edge that mimics the likes of Nine Inch Nails further speaks to Les Techno’s engagement in the world of music and how deeply touched a human being can feel through listening to Industrial music.

Vancouver Musician, Aza Nabuko, is in bloom both as a musician and a human being who is bound to stretch beyond the boundaries of her known over the years to come. Experimenting with a variety of seasons of life metaphorically throughout her lyrical back-tale, Aza’s recently released self-titled EP is one that mesmerizes both young and mature listeners. Here’s our track-by-track thoughts.
Kicking off with the first track, “Strangers”, Aza channels the maturity of Banks as she begins lyrically spinning a web of intense feeling that showcases how two individuals that were once insanely in love can fall apart once lies and thoughts become hidden behind closed doors. “Ordinary” is the second track that showcases self-awareness as lyrics that put concrete truth into Aza’s ability to discern her supposed faults empower listeners to be more of themselves when falling deeper into intimate relationships. The third track, “Fade Away”, begins with a soft and emotive piano instrumental that leads into the highlight of Aza’s seemingly divine vocals that spill forward words of yearning for release.
“Heart of Concrete” is the fourth track that takes listeners down a tunnel of dark and back into the light as lyrical awareness shares Aza’s thoughts of being alone in her mind with her ever-growing brick wall heart that she is aware has grown through the pressures of heartache and pain. The fifth track, “Space Between”, is an EP highlight that speaks to the lucid air that stands between two human beings that once shared their entire lives together as Aza becomes increasingly lyrically aware of the distance that continues to grow. Closing out with “When We Fell in Love”, Aza lyrically reminisces on the moments in which she felt like nothing in the mind of a human being that she perceived as her everything through phenomenal songwriting that is bold and abounding with empathy and truth.
