"Sometimes I have this dream
Where I'm swimming in a lake
And aliens fly overhead in ships from outer space
They pick me up and telepathically explain
How every simulation, they all end up the same
So I don't need to try anymore
Let go and just enjoy the ride
There's nothing left to be done
No better version to become
So uninstall those meditation apps
Another low, another peak
Another demon to defeat
It goes on and on and on and on and on...
Well maybe I don't need to try anymore
Let go and just enjoy the ride"

BIO
Born in Vancouver, BC, Chris Sol is an independent Canadian singer-songwriter, whose sound straddles the likes of Dan Mangan and Jeff Buckley; offering a soothing dose of indie-folk with a soulful velvet twist.
"You're guaranteed to be in for one hell of an experience.” - TJPL News
Sol's vocals are at once raw, smooth, and haunting—careening from an earthy rasp to crisp falsetto, backed by sweeps of fingerpicking and expansive chordal arrangements—yielding a live performance that will linger with you long after the lights come up.
"[His] voice is like a vintage amplifier that breaks up at just the right point."
— Brian Irwin, Producer & Founder of Monster Studios, Nashville, TN.
His stripped down 2020 debut record Some Paradise was followed by a string of releases in 2022—including the collaborative alt-pop single "Let You Down," produced by Juno-nominated artist Shawn Hook—leading to his sophomore record Sugar & Smoke, which wraps his acoustic roots in dreamy ambience, with plush arrangements of keys and cello, while gracefully covering ground from hope, aliens, love, loss, and finding your way.
