by teepoo From Toronto, Vivek Shraya's is a pretty diverse dude who's projects include both music and illustrated short stories. Even his upcoming events include both book readings and concerts. He has the kind of voice that well, just naturally sounds great. Take a listen to Discerning which is from his latest EP released last October which you can hear the rest of on Bandcamp .

Quick Before It Melts
If you have been reading QBiM for a few years now, you've more than likely encountered my raving and praising Vivek Shraya , whose last LP, Keys & Machines , produced one of my favourite moments of 2009, "In/Out". Shraya has proven himself to be an electro-pop song wizard of the highest order, and a new release from him is always cause for celebration, and usually causes some shimmying and shaking, too. To say that his newest EP, 1:1 was an unexpected detour into acoustic singer-songwriter territory would be an [...]
Indiecision
Last night was the most packed Hard Rock Cafe's been on a Tuesday night this year with an un-metal crowd of 250-odd people. However, for a change, there was an audience instead of only restaurant patrons - Tegan and Sara brought in a considerable number of fans. Sadly, everything happened on the overhead #fail stage. The gig began early with Vasuda Sharma 's meh mostly-covers set, the opening act for the opening act. When Tegan and Sara opener Vivek Shraya took the stage, there were imaginary disco lights blinking in the air as [...]

The Toronto-based indie synth pop artist, Vivek Shraya , is no stranger to the world of music. He produced 3 singer/songwriter albums throughout the better part of this decade, however, his latest release, Keys & Machines , is a much "brattier, boomier, bassier" export than previous works. Keys & Machines , released on November 17, reunites Shraya with producer Meghan Toohey (Weepies, Lenka, Rachael Cantu) for nine new songs inspired by late-night Paris clubs and broken [...]

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 Today's Quick Mention: Yuck. Not only did I have the unfortunate pleasure of posting another fantasy football loss this week (this puts me at 3-4-2 on the year), but I went a surprisingly not fun 8-5 in my game picks. I blame all the stupid rain. I haven't thought about Vivek Shraya since probably the last time I mentioned him here at SOTO, but just the other day an old song of his randomly came on, I wondered [...]

Back on July 17, 2007, Vivek Shraya subjected himself to a little thing I used to call the QBiM Questionnaire. The premise was simple: I emailed artists a list of nonsensical and non-threatening questions all in the name of getting to know them better. Vivek was a willing victim subject, and we had a fair bit of fun with the interview. I don't know how well the concept of Q&A was received by readers (or if they even took notice of the other interviews in the series) but that was then [...]

(photo: Juliana Neufeld) I've been writing QBiM for over three years now, and one of my favourite things about this labour of love is seeing and hearing the return of some of the artists I wrote about in the early days of the blog. It's akin to a visit from an unexpected visit from an old friend, and I couldn't be more surprised or delighted that Vivek Shraya came knocking on the door last week to say hello. Back in 2007, Shraya was one of the first people [...]

The number of releases waiting to be covered here on herohill is becoming as overwhelming as one of those inbox/outbox cartoons from back in the day. Throw in the fact I'm trying to refocus my thoughts for Polaris this weekend isn't helping. So in an effort to talk about a few more releases that I've been digging on lately, you get a nice mailbag. Unlike Bill Simmons, I'll try not to reuse jokes, talk about Vegas or mention Rocky or Kimmel. Right out of the gate, we have one [...]

My inbox has been clogged recently with a lot of new ish... and who am I to deny these new artists the chance to be seen and heard? Well technically, I AM that guy, since I run this site... but I appreciate hard work when I see and hear it, and these all have it. So give them a listen and visit their respective spaces for more. Also, if you buy something of theirs, they'll likely be able to make more ace tunes and you'll be able to say "I liked them before they were big" (we all know how [...]

Keenhouse is at it again with a new mixtape, Disco To Disco. I actually couldn't find much information on this mixtape so, I assume it's new Ken? I've posted his music before and I think I like it too much. In a good way of course. Anyways, this mix has two faces to it; it starts out with what you'd normally expect from Keenhouse with the retro sound and it goes right into electro/dance towards the end. Smooth mix, not many mixes I've liked lately but this went past my high standards. Check [...]

Some of you may remember a post i made sometime ago about Canadian prodigy VIVEK SHRAYA . He makes sweet, sweet pop jams with a minimalist dance appeal. He has a new single coming out on French label KUSKUS RECORDS for his latest single "If We're Not Talking". The release also features a couple remixes, including this one here by BEN MONO . If you like, the others are avail for purchase online. VIVEK SHRAYA - IF WE'RE NOT TALKING (BEN MONO REMIX)
