An acclaimed songwriter, Steven Lambke’s latest collection Volcano Volcano received an effusive review from Pitchfork, who called the album “a battle cry for romantic radicals”. He is also well known as a member of the punk band Spider Bite, the leader of artist-run label You’ve Changed Records, and member of iconic Canadian indie-rock group Constantines.
Steven Lambke’s songs are an invitation, an exploration of potential, an opportunity for listening and thinking and relating that holds space for otherwise thinking and shared meaning-making. His songs are home to a cast of characters that provide the sustenance for this practice: high tides, worlds filled to the brim, full moons and shooting stars, sunsets, daybreaks and twilight, reconstituted truths and love anyway, sidewalk-crack flowers, sparks and moons in the ocean, a living, a singing anyway. It embodies a way of living that mines the everyday for surprise, tiny bursts of joy, and a dedicated practice of hope.
