On After the Sting of It, Kelly McMichael performs a wild yet precise balancing act in a constant process of redefinition, offering shifting perspectives emotionally and skipping genres musically. Recorded in McMichael’s adopted home of St. John’s with singer-songwriter Jake Nicoll, After the Sting of It is music that sits in the comfort of its core ideas while being utterly unafraid to try new things—the follow-up to 2021’s award-winning Waves builds on its classic-rock core and expands into synths, drum machines, and vocal layers.
Deploying art-rock production flair that belies its humble processes, McMichael weaves unexpected sounds around her poignant, incisive words for a self-contained journey through the psyche (and psychedelia).

Nerve takes us into the evocative world of contemporary classical crossover, featuring an intricate blend of piano, strings, and electronic textures. Ian Foster is a seasoned songwriter, film composer and music producer, and the album combines prepared pianos and strings with synthesizers, drum loops and a range of electronic instruments evocative of contemporary film scores and even contemporary ambient music. Intimate piano pieces and lush electronic atmospherics are presented in Nerve by this Music NL and ECMA winner, who continues to evolve and defy genres. Thank you to the Canada Council for the Arts and Music NL for their support of this project, which was recorded in various venues in St. John’s. – Leaf Music
