Back From A Hiatus Omen44 Tackles Political Grounds in “Da Games People Play”
A slight hiatus couldn’t keep Omen44 from hitting the political pavement. Timbs fully laced, the national/international indie artist is coming for the “orange man” in his new single “Da Games People Play.” The record is the first drop from his forthcoming ‘u.s’ album. With no holds barred, Omen44 delivers an emotive performance brimming with vivid lyricism. “Seven trumpets blowing better listen working hard like an abolitionist Lincoln, Douglas, Wilberforce, Republicans used to represent the public now it’s serving the private executive’s corporate lobbyists, it’s never enough for these narcist’s…” Omen44 stirs up controversy in a fashion that provokes thought and ignites raw emotion. Stream “Da Games People Play” and stay tuned for the video and more releases from the album.

Plain Mister Smith returns with Bric-À-Brac Attack, a beautifully offbeat collection of indie-folk, pop and atmospheric songwriting. Released via Amelia Records, the album finds the Vancouver and London-based multi-hyphenate turning fragments of memory, relationships and everyday absurdity into something quietly cinematic.
At its centre is “Grindavik”, a shimmering, reflective track inspired by the Icelandic town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Bright acoustic guitars and steady drums carry a constantly shifting chord progression, mirroring the song’s central metaphor of a relationship under pressure and the hope that its fissures can eventually heal. Featuring Jordan Klassen and Kitt, the track captures the emotional tension that runs throughout the album.
Elsewhere, Bric-À-Brac Attack moves effortlessly between playful guitar-driven moments, lush arrangements and more introspective passages. “Miss Sunshine” brings infectious energy, while collaborations with Findlay Brown, Leeroy Stagger, Krystle Dos Santos and Tyson Mostenbocher add colour to an already eclectic record.
Former guitarist of Canadian darkwave band Moev and a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, Plain Mister Smith brings an unusually broad musical perspective to his songwriting. Yet Bric-a-Brac attack never feels overly calculated. Instead, it has the charm of something discovered rather than constructed.
Warm, strange, melodic and emotionally searching, Bric-À-Brac Attack is a record that rewards getting lost in its details. Plain Mister Smith may remain deliberately mysterious, but the music itself speaks with remarkable clarity.
