Today’s song is “Raw Spectacle” by Montreal-based musician and producer Miracle Fortress (aka Graham Van Pelt). Van Pelt has been releasing a series of tracks monthly from a collection of unreleased material he wrote after the release of his sophomore album, Was I The Wave which was lauded by Pitchfork, Stereogum, NYLON, XLR8R and Exclaim! among others, and is available now on Secret City Records (Diamond Rings, Plants and Animals). Pelt is currently on tour and is doing a few shows this week at CMJ (see below for dates). His music is a synth pop dream. It’s got a great groove and is definitely an artist to see at this week’s festival.
Listen below and for more information check out his official website, Facebook, and Twitter pages.
