NASHVILLE, TN (August 31, 2022) — This Friday (September 2), San Diego-based indie alternative rock outfit Creature Canyon will release their coming of age debut album, Remarks via Gnu Roam/Kartel Music Group.
Pre-add / Pre-save Remarks here.
The album follows the release of a string of singles including the expansive “Sleepwalking” (which was recently added to Spotify’s official “Fresh Finds Indie” and “Modern Rock” playlists), the groovy “Faded Fire,” the driving “Simulator,” the soulful “Mirrors” and the propulsive “Pressure,” which served as an introduction to the band’s debut LP — a coming of age tale capturing the emotional conflicts of love and loss through a journey of self-discovery, portrayal of personal growth and reflection in the modern age — all wrapped around the band’s texturally rich and well-crafted sound.
Also on Friday, September 2, the upbeat alt groover album focus track — “Heartbeat” — will arrive alongside a euphoric backyard performance video. With sunny three-part vocal harmonies, bouncy guitar solos and catchy love-drenched choruses, “Heartbeat” shows Creature Canyon’s uncanny ability to embody their Southern California vibes to form their own niche, in the ever-evolving indie/alternative soundspace.
Remarks was produced by Private Island frontman Christian Lum, engineered by Mike Schuppan (Foster The People, Young The Giant, Wolf Alice), mixed by Jordon Silva (Vance Joy, The Avett Brothers), and mastered by Brian Lucey (Cage The Elephant, Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys).
Talking about the album, Creature Canyon say, “creating this album has been a journey for us, both emotionally and sonically. We spent a lot of time early on in the writing process establishing a sound that collectively represented each and every member of the band. We all had equal contributions to the songwriting, pulling from each member’s past experiences to bring it all together.”

“In The Dark”
