Jay Arner - Jay Arner

Vinyl LP pressing. 2013 album from the Vancouver multi-instrumentalist. For years, Jay Arner has teamed up with others to translate the sounds in his head. He's fronted an Indie Rock band, played synthesizers and samplers in a Pop duo, manned the drums for a piano-Punk songwriter, and held down the bass in a eight-member collective. Along the way, he's also become a sought-after producer and remix artist, working out of Vancouver's legendary Hive Studios and recording acts like Mount Eerie, Apollo Ghosts, Rose Melberg, No Gold and many more. Now, finally, he is going it alone. Every sound on his eponymous debut album was self-recorded by Arner in his 72-square-foot practice space using a precariously perched desktop computer and his home recording gear. The sum of his many talents, these ten songs sizzle with DIY energy and encompass the scope of the songwriter's diverse résumé.
