Yes We Mystic celebrates the tragic through quiet acoustic melodies and soaring, triumphant crescendos. Floods and Fires out now.
Biography
A
five-piece group from Winnipeg, Yes We Mystic grabs ideas and
aesthetics from all over the map and ventures to morph them into
something entirely different. They take their favorite bits of folk,
rock, and R&B, hurl strings and mandolins together with
synthesizers, pedals, and samples, and come up with music that can
mellow and groove but climb in an instant to towering, frenzied heights.

ng opposites together creates a space. Yes We Mystic prides itself in living in these spaces.
Yes We Mystic is of a brand-new generation of Winnipeg musicians.
Although relatively young, this band is no stranger to the stage. Front
man Adam Fuhr and drummer Jordon Ottenson have toured the globe as part
of the cavernous indie-rock band Les Jupes; cellist Jodi Plenert also
performs with indie-pop weirdos Boats. Solana Johannson, a classically
trained violinist, plays with J.P. Hoe. These are artists who have
learned from best.
2013 was a big year for Yes We Mystic. Not
only did they record and release their debut EP Floods and Fires, they
also were signed to Head in the Sand records, charted on campus radio
stations across the country, toured Western Canada, played a pile of
festivals, and began writing the songs for their next release. 2014 will
be bigger still. Already, they have headlined a sold out show at Big
Fun Festival and performed at JUNOfest, and are looking forward to a
full Canadian tour this summer—including stops at NXNE, The Winnipeg
Jazz Festival, and Harvest Moon. All this before beginning preliminary
work on their full length debut in the fall.
By employing
unconventional structures and delicately woven melodies, the band
created Floods and Fires, a tapestry that The Uniter called “at once
sombre and yet variably forceful” and that BeatRoute called “an album
for any situation.” The EP is rooted heavily in the sounds of folk—an
element still incorporated, if de-emphasized, in their newer work. For
their new record, the band is crafting similar songs with a different
method than before; by approaching genre as a tool rather than a
barrier, a wider swath of sounds is available to convey the style and
emotion that the band has valued since the start.
