Carbolizer came about after Calgary musician L. Adam Fox scrapped an album’s worth of idiosyncratic folk-rock songs, shifting to more of an electronic vibe.

The latest single from the self-titled album is “Sky”, and Fox says the song was “really influenced by Paul Mason’s book ‘Postcapitalism’. I wouldn’t say it’s plagiary, but it’s a pretty heavily informed by the idea of contemporary late-capitalism (in its current manifestation) not being fully equipped to deal with the imminent dominance of information products and markets.”

They’ll also be playing at Merge this coming Saturday; check out the even page here, and “Sky” down below!
