Brand new artist Boy Golden details Church of Better Daze – song, album and frame of mind – today with his first released music.

Six Shooter Records joyously welcomes three talented, inspiring new staff to the label, including Andrea Aguilar who joins as the new Director of Digital Strategy and Marketing, Meghan Borthwick as Marketing Department Coordinator and Julian Staniewski as Operations Manager.

Six Shooter Records is thrilled to welcome Boy Golden, a new artist from Winnipeg, MB, to the label. A chrysalis in a 1940s lemon lounge suit, Boy Golden is poised to emerge fully formed from the pandopolis deep freeze with his charismatic vision of good vibes, even in hard times.

Being useless at everything else and because music is on my mind as many hours per day as koalas are asleep, I’ve spent the majority of my working life cheerily toiling away in record stores. Thirteen years into my employ at the fabled Fascinating Rhythm in Nanaimo, BC, that situation - and, essentially, my music retail career - ground to an unceremonious halt upon the declaration of this godforsaken pandemic.

“The air in the house is different now,” says Ryan Boldt, the creative force behind The Deep Dark Woods. Boldt’s house is now full of pets and plants, and happiness.

In a previous edition of The Horizon Line, Anupa Mistry perceptively wrote that through Zaki Ibrahim’s music “it’s possible to access the version of Toronto that, perhaps, only exists as a feeling. Zaki’s music is an atmosphere unto itself.”

The journey through Zaki Ibrahim’s expansive catalogue concludes with 2018’s The Secret Life of Planets, available worldwide on Friday, March 12. From the stomach-flipping dives of “Dangerous” to the night sky echoes of “Galileo,” The Secret Life of Planets is essential Zaki Ibrahim listening.

2020 sync highlights included blockbuster placements for The Dead South’s “In Hell I’ll Be In Good Company,” which hit the Global Shazam Top 50 after it appeared in Netflix’s Umbrella Academy Season 2. The song also recently appeared in American Gods (Starz). As the size and scope of the rosters grow, Six Shooter’s publishing reach continues to expand in new directions. “Temi will be instrumental in helping us grow our publishing and sync divisions,” says Temple, Director of Licensing & Publishing.
