New York, NY (June 23, 2023) – Today, Vancouver-based, indie-pop songwriter Adam Mah released his debut album, Year of the Dog, featuring the latest single “Quiet Nights” ft. ROYAL. Earlier this week, Mah shared a video for the track “Be A Man” and with his band will celebrate at this year’s Khatsahlano Street Party, July 8.

Discussing “Quiet Nights,” Adam notes it’s… “about celebrating a long-term relationship. Something that isn’t written about quite as often as the spark of a new romance. It features singer ROYAL who I have collaborated with on a multitude of projects.”

Produced by Shane Stephenson, Year of the Dog references Adam’s Chinese Zodiac and the year 2018, which was full of personal changes. The album explores themes surrounding navigating long-term relationships, nostalgia baiting, and the music industry’s current state.

Much of the album touches on long-term relationships, which come in many forms; from celebrating long-term romantic relationships, to coming to terms with dissolving ones. And more specifically, a breakup between bandmates.

Experimental electronic meets a modern-day 80s pop/rock daydream, Adam Mah is no stranger to creating evocative music. Adam’s diverse scope as an artist, producer, and composer has shaped him into a thought-provoking songwriter. His tracks often examine the notion of perspective through captivating vocals, synthesizers bathed in reverb, and introspective lyrics.

Adam attended the famed Langley Fine Arts School, forming the band Derrival in high school, which released an LP and EP during a half-decade run, while touring across North America with acts such as The Zolas, Hey Ocean!, and performing at festivals, sharing the stage with Vampire Weekend, Childish Gambino, Young the Giant, Death Cab for Cutie, The Airborne Toxic Event, and Half Moon Run, amongst many others.

With appearances from Jordan Lawlor, ROYAL, and RIKII, Year of the Dog is a body of work ready to engage with subjects easier left unaddressed.
