Ev. G Explores Memory, Time, and Altered Realities on Psychedelic New Single “Way We Remember,” Debut ‘And Then I Go Up’ LP Out 9/23

Transportive and oblique, “Way We Remember” is a swirling new offering from Calgary-born, Toronto-based artist Ev. G. Taken from his forthcoming debut album, And Then I Go Up, out September 23rd, the single leans into asymmetry, psychedelia, and sonic disorientation all while pulsing with hallucinatory swagger. Built on a hazy bed of vaporwave textures, the track unspools like a lucid dream in motion, grappling with the slipperiness of memory and the ways we warp time.

Initially crafted by longtime collaborator and producer Brock Geiger, the track began as an ambient, beatless world of airy synths and pitch-shifted guitar loops. “I wanted to give Ev a musical palette to write to that felt hazy and static,” Geiger shares, “but had slow evolution that would allow for a variety of melodic and phrasing approaches.” The instrumental demo file was titled “Way We Remember,” which quickly became both a subliminal prompt and conceptual anchor.

“We worked on this one in a few places,” Ev. G adds, “but one of the most important was a log cabin studio on a lake in northern Ontario – Brett Pederson’s Tall Pines. That setting kind of cracked the song open. Something about that place helped us reach further into the trippy spaces we wanted the song to explore.”

When Ev. G began writing fragments for his debut LP, And Then I Go Up, he couldn’t have anticipated what they would grow into. Years later, a trusted creative bond with longtime friends Brock Geiger and Will Maclellan transformed those fragments into something deeply personal and sonically bold. Recorded between stints at Sound City (LA), Brock’s Studio B (Calgary, AB), and Tall Pines Studio (Temagami, ON), the resulting album is a richly layered collection of oblique textures, vivid imagery, and emotional openness.
