Minneapolis artist Julixn has a knack for making music that feels dark, moody, and emotionally charged while still staying unpredictable. His new single, “Blurred Lines,” is no exception. It’s a song that drifts comfortably in that space where nothing is clearly defined but everything feels intentional.

The track started with an instrumental Julixn found from one of his favorite producers. He knew right away that it had a mix of genres woven together, which inspired the rest of the song and gave it its title. Julixn keeps his studio setup simple. With just a MacBook, a mic, an interface, headphones, and a notepad in his room, he manages to create music that feels full and cinematic. He tests mixes in his car and shares them with a few close friends before calling it finished.

“Blurred Lines” blends guitars, a live drum kit, and lots of textured sounds from foley and effects to create an immersive listening experience. It’s a song that captures the beauty of the unclear, the undefined, and the in-between. Julixn describes it as a track for all things blurry, and you can really feel that in the way it moves and shifts.

If you enjoy music that plays with mood, texture, and genre in exciting ways, this song is worth a listen. “Blurred Lines” shows Julixn doing what he does best, making music that refuses to be pinned down but sticks with you long after the song ends.

Check out “Blurred Lines” on all major streaming platforms now.

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.
