Old Man Canyon is the creative vehicle for Vancouver-based multi-instrumentalist Jett Pace. Formed in 2012, the project initially gained traction within the indie folk revival of the early 2010s, drawing comparisons to acts like Fleet Foxes and Iron & Wine.
However, Pace quickly distinguished himself by integrating vintage electronic elements and a psychedelic edge that moved the sound toward 'Canyon Rock' and dream pop. The 2013 debut EP, 'Phantoms & Friends', established a signature sound characterized by breathy vocals and acoustic textures, while the 2016 album 'Delirium' marked a significant shift toward analog synthesizers and more complex, layered production. Culturally, the project occupies a space between the Pacific Northwest folk scene and the modern psychedelic movement. Critical consensus highlights Pace's ability to maintain a sense of intimacy despite increasingly maximalist arrangements. The project's music has been widely used in television syncs, further cementing its reputation for evocative, atmospheric storytelling that appeals to fans of both traditional songwriting and modern sonic experimentation.
