As C. Diab, Vancouver-based artist Caton Diab creates moving music he calls "post-classical-grunge," using bowed guitar, flute, trumpet, synthesizer, and subtle tape manipulations. His third album finds him expressing frustrations with generational disenfranchisement, lack of economic security, and spiritual disposition. "Marrying soaring bowed melodies with layers of perpetual drones," per Fluid Radio, White Whale conveys "a distant world of melancholy and broken beauty." It's out on Injazero Records.
