Merlin Ball Vancouver, British Columbia
Merlin Ball draws on many musical atmospheres to create a singular space and mood. Net result: indie-driven stuff that blazes along under sombre skies and brilliant sunrises. How do you talk to someone 10,000 years away? This is Merlin Ball's attempt.

The music and experimentation coming out of Hel Audio is exciting and very, very cool. Heard about this particular artist via the 99% Invisible podcast a few years ago. Ok Ikumi is go-to chill music.
