    WMP133 - Amos The Kid

    Amos the Kid is the stage moniker of Winnipeg's Amos Nadlersmith. Nadlersmith has long been an enigmatic curiosity of the Winnipeg scene. For a time, the prolific songwriter seems to be anywhere and everywhere; then, you couldn’t find him if you went looking. His presence on a stage has been solitary, charming, sly, and brilliant. When it was anything at all. When he was active, however, he made music that was “simple and beautiful” (Stylus Magazine). He was known for his uncluttered turn of phrase and haunting melodies; he had a way, as the best do, of making a voice and a guitar seem new again. All before his 24th birthday. Thus it puzzled audiences that after a half dozen years as the perennial underdog favourite, possessing a trove of unpolished gems, Amos the Kid had never released any music besides a few iPhone memos and a 2016 single that somehow felt half-baked. It wasn’t until 2019 that Nadlersmith finally decided to act. He enlisted friends from some of Winnipeg’s most established indie acts - Living Hour, Yes We Mystic, Palm Trees, and Merin - and created “Mountain View”, a lush and inventive re-imagining of a handful of his oldest songs. The EP was produced by Adam Fuhr (Yes We Mystic) and mastered by Cam Loeppky (The Weakerthans, Cannon Bros.). All pre-recorded music has been removed from this episode. The set list originally featured in this episode included: Amos the Kid “Mountain View“, “What Did You Do”, and “Pine Grove“ from Mountain View.

    Postwar

    Pulling from their background in Noise & Hardcore, Postwar aims to make authentic, visceral Hip Hop. As a member of Winnipeg music collective "Styx City Cult", Postwar pushes their brand of Alternative Hip Hop alongside collaborations with fellow Cult members and artists across the world. Postwar's music has been described as "the grimiest in the city" and for good reason. Non-stop aggressive rhyme schemes and flows coupled with simultaneous braggadocio and self deprecation make Postwar's catalog one to dig through. All pre-recorded music has been removed from this episode. The set list originally featured in this episode is Postwar’s “Wool Fabric“, “I’m Not Okay“, “Static.“ For more local music, check out the Winnipeg Music Project website. Thank you to UMFM 101.5FM.
