LISTEN TO SUPERNOVA EP HERE

It might be Friday the 13th, but Vancouver musician Quinn Pickering isn't the superstitious type. In fact, not only is he releasing his new Supernova EP today, he's also premiering the video for the 3rd single and title track. Watch the 'Supernova' video here. 

Quinn's Supernova EP is full of dreamy, melancholic vibes with plenty of nostalgia and ghosts of past relationships. While his previous singles 'Ultraviolet' and 'Grapefruit' examined the end of a relationship, his new single 'Supernova' focuses on a new relationship and the feeling of wanting to be someone's first choice. 

“'Supernova' on the surface may feel like a pop song about a relationship but when you peel back the layers, you'll find that it explores uncertainty and fear that your partner might not have the same depth of feeling," says Quinn. "It's about how you can project those thoughts and emotions to the point that they manifest themselves into reality, threatening the very thing that you're trying to hold on to.”

At just 20 years old, Quinn is a young singer-songwriter leading a new generation of artists who are redefining the indie music landscape. Raised in New Westminster, BC, to a musical family of Métis descent, Quinn's interest and passion for music and songwriting led to the formation of his first band, World Is History, when he was just nine years old.

When he started working on his Supernova EP, Quinn wrote and recorded 15 pre-production demos before choosing the 5 songs that ended up on the EP. Executive produced by Howard Redekopp and produced, mixed and engineered by Stefan Nowarre, Supernova showcases Quinn's youthful energy and love of classic songwriting, and puts his voice at the centre of it all.

“Although there are some big choruses throughout, it’s the intimate moments in contrast that represent what I wanted the EP to feel like," says Quinn. "Thematically it’s full of stories and vulnerabilities that I've experienced in my life up till now told through the lens of an Alt pop production.”

Quinn Pickering's Supernova EP is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit: quinnpickering.org

WORD ON THE STREET: 
"On the deliciously nostalgic 'Grapefruit,' Pickering's Jeff Buckley-influenced vocal desperation meets Dashboard Confessional chords, setting the scene for your perfectly angsty beach-combing reflections (or a lost montage moment from MTV's Laguna Beach).” - CBC Music

 "In one of the most polished tracks I’ve heard this year, 'Grapefruit' takes to the city streets to reminisce and recover.”  - The Permanent Rain Press

'"Ultraviolet' lends a groovy, empathetic voice to all the suppressed emotions that comes with seeing the end of a romance. Layered with smooth riffs, Ultraviolet' feels like a warm tap in the back reassuring you that it will pass." - Aupium

"20 year old Vancouver indie pop artist Quinn Pickering is here to help you relive those fleeting, bittersweet memories of someone that left your pre-adult heart in shambles just before Frosh Week and after deciding to go to a different university – or whatever your story is – with his new song 'Grapefruit'. It’s got the power-pop punch of Shawn Mendes and I even sense of a hint of Rob Thomas
circa 2006." - Dusty Organ
