Maybe Smith — Another Murder In The Morning

By Jen White (CHARTattack) May 5, 2009 11:36 am
Saskatoon noisemaker Maybe Smith's fifth full-length is a slow burner. The follow-up to 2007's Animals & Architects is filled with frantic indie pop, layered with chaotic electronic sounds, static and fuzz that take a while to decipher. Smith (a.k.a. Colin Skrapek) admitted in the album's press release to ripping off everyone from Gary Lewis...

Maybe Smith @ CMW 2008

By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) March 10, 2008 9:00 am
BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: Maybe Smith is Colin Skrapek. His MySpace page states he's been promoting synchrotron awareness since 2002. A synchrotron is a sub-atomic particle accelerator. Looks like we've got a nerd on our hands. Grade: 94 Comment: Skrapek brought a full band along and it really upped his music's stature. A "one-...

Maybe Smith — Second Best Death

Saskatchewan's Maybe Smith (a.k.a. Colin Skrapek) really knows how to hang on to a lyric. He has a tendency to repeat his own words like they're precious. He breathes them in and draws them out like a mouthful of smoke. Fortunately, his fourth studio album, Second Best Death, is full of really strong lyrics and a lot of solid musicianship. Skrapek...

Yet another album from a Saskachewanian solo project: Maybe Smith a.k.a. Colin Skrapek. Not gonna lie, Maybe Smith's already got a special place in my heart (if I had one, that is — I am a hunk of plastic, after all), and this album is all wrapped up in his shiny, happy pop-tastic electronic songs. Side note: On the press release, he also...

"I'm happy with what I've done so far, but I've realized I've written a lot of songs about animals," says Skrapek, acknowledging that under his Maybe Smith moniker he has...

Hometown: Saskatoon, SK Official Website: www.sirhandsomerecords.com Members: Colin Skrapek Colin Skrapek, a.k.a. Maybe Smith, is still ascending to fame for his lo-fi electronic indie pop. But don't expect this hilarious Saskatonian to stay a secret for long. His somewhat prolific writing and recording paired with his hard-working D.I.Y....
