Evan Redsky shares the new single, "Cosmic Carousel", his first since his 2022 acclaimed debut LP Oblivion. The track arrives alongside a music video that is featured in its entirety in the new episode of APTN's 'AMPLIFY'. In the episode, Redsky takes us on an existential ride inspired by his contemplative childhood where he explored deep concepts of the meaning of self and our place in the cosmos. Directed and written by Sean Stiller and Claudia Skunk, and shot in stunning black and white, this is one of AMPLIFY’s most boundary-pushing episodes, an unforgettable musical and metaphysical journey.

Evan Redsky embodies and relays an array of Indigenous stories and perspectives in order to better understand his own. Reclaiming the music of his childhood—the country heroes playing on his grandma’s car radio, like Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, and Blue Rodeo—he tells vulnerable stories of longing and resilience.

Growing up in the First Nations Reserve of Mississaugi First Nation in Blind River, Ontario, Redsky was often compelled to hitchhike to Toronto to immerse himself in the city’s burgeoning punk and hardcore music scene. Redsky recalls sleeping under bridges and on construction sites, dedicated to making music happen. At 19 years old, Redsky started performing with punk outfit Single Mothers, going on to perform with the JUNO Award-nominated group everywhere from local clubs to Primavera Sound to the Pitchfork Music Festival. However, as the group saw increasing success, Redsky felt more and more empowered to explore other musical paths and tell his own stories.

These days, it’s tough to keep up with all of Redsky’s eclectic projects. He’s a member of “Turtle Island Hardcore” band Indian Giver; he performs with folk-rock duo Altemeda and singer-songwriter Wyatt C. Lewis; he plays bass with groups like country ensemble Nicolette and the Nobodies. A stalwart of the Toronto scene, Redsky’s commitment to collaboration is evident in his impressive musicianship and impassioned songwriting, as he showcased on his debut solo album, 2022’s Oblivion.
