Mr Relaxer
7:15PM & 8:30PM
Edmonton-based trio Mr Relaxer is a Venn Diagram of dark post-wave music, independent craftsmanship, and cutting-edge technology. Originally a college-radio-topping project from fifteen years ago, the band has rebooted as a pop-forward power trio featuring original member Clinton Carew (vocals/bass) alongside Paul Bellows (vocals/guitar) and Scott Shpeley (vocals/drums).
Individually, their careers span off-Broadway theater, award-winning film, and major U.S. record labels. Collectively, they double as technology developers, seamlessly integrating advanced AI and filmmaking tech into their creative output.
Mr Relaxer’s appeal is their approach to sonic architecture, lyrics, and active listening. Rejecting the standard retro-80s synthesizers of the post-wave genre, the band engineered a hardware-driven sound.
Their songs - showcased on their upcoming album, Re-Entry - live between The National and The Pixies. Driven by a rhythmic "lead bass" style, processed and analog guitar tones, and Carew’s complex, baritone vocals, their songs explore themes of dissonance and dark nostalgia.
