Welcome Lies is a 2021 Jilk album that was originally only available through the Castles In Space subscription library. We're proud to present a digital reissue with TWO BONUS TRACKS from the same writing sessions.

Big love to Castles In Space for being kind enough to allow this reissue. You should go subscribe to their Bandcamp subscription service ASAP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome Lies marks the return of Jilk after a lengthy and considered writing process. The album comprises five long form songs that draw from contemporary electronica as much as they do from Canadian post-rock.

The long gestation can be heard in the layers of depth and detail that permeate the album. Neo-classical drones sit alongside jazz drum improvs, distorted broken electronics and lush hypnogogic layers of synths and orchestral bliss. Chopped and screwed vocals drift in and out of focus before being washed away in a sea of vibraphones, strings, guitars and armies of miniature robot percussionists.

This is Jilk at the height of their collective powers.

This release also marks the first print media Jilk have produced. The zine document, heavily inspired by the occult, horror and punk aesthetics, is exclusive to Castles In Space and is only available to Castles in Space Subscription Library members. Framing the five beautiful songs in a narrative of dark rituals and incantations, monstrous political ideologies and mass manipulation, the zine gives a sense of how the surprisingly intimate themes of each song were born out of troubled relationships with the outside world.
