Too Soon Monsoon

Too Soon Monsoon is building momentum toward their first full-length album release. With nods to influences like Fleetwood Mac, Metric, Fiona Apple and Jack White, the band creates a fresh sound by fusing elements of alternative-pop and rock.

Too Soon Monsoon’s debut full length record is a concept album, heavily influenced by the South Saskatchewan River flowing through their home in Saskatoon. The album carries the listener on an emotional journey along with the band while speaking to universal themes like interconnectedness, growing up, love, seeking purpose and slowing down to appreciate and reconnect with yourself, one another, nature and art. Being a band that consists of an Indigenous drummer and two non-indigenous members, TSM’s goal is to create music & art that can bring people from different cultures and backgrounds closer together. The band's debut album, Waves: we provide what we absorb, we absorb what we provide will be self-released on May 3, 2019.

Too Soon Monsoon initially formed as a duo near the end of 2016 after Greg (vocals/keys) had posted a 'bandmate wanted' ad online to which Nathan (drums) was quick to respond. As a duo, TSM released 2 EPs in the second half of 2017 (Little Fire and Side Effects). Side Effects was included in the best EPs of 2017 by Cups n Cakes (#8) and spent four weeks in the CFCR Weekly Top Ten (peak #4). The band released visuals for "Know Myself" and "Faded" from Side Effects as well as visuals for "Balance", "We'll Live Forever", and "Wandering" from Little Fire. TSM has performed twice on CTV Morning Live and filmed performances for the Original 16 Brewery Sessions and the Empty Room Series.

The band spent a good chunk of 2018 in the studio, recording their debut full-length album once again with producer, Adam Grant (formerly of One Bad Son). Too Soon Monsoon previously worked closely with Grant on the recording of their first two EPs. At the end of 2018, TSM announced the addition of guitarist, Declan Hills. TSM recently performed the new album from front-to-back during a special 'album-preview' performance show at Winterruption 2019 in Saskatoon. This performance was also their debut performance as a three piece. TSM has performed at Breakout West, Sasktel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival, Ness Creek Music Festival, Winterruption, Big Winter Classic, toured Western Canada twice and opened for PVRIS, slenderbodies, Mo Kenney, ROMES, Scenic Route to Alaska and Ivory Hours. Starting 2019 in a new form, the group is embracing a new energy and sound. Too Soon Monsoon will continue to share music from their upcoming debut full-length album in the track-list order until its springtime release.
