Talented artist Blue Canopy is the moniker of Portland-based multi-instrumentalist, Alex Schiff. Schiff combines versatile songwriting chops and exuberant melodies to convey nostalgia as a force to move forward. Expertly weaving dream pop, psychedelic guitar passages, and expansive electronic soundscapes, his output is beautifully introspective at a time where self-reflection is extremely crucial. Formerly the keyboardist and co-writer for an indie band, Modern Rivals, Alex has shared the stage with bands such as Ra Ra Riot, Stars, and The Black Keys. He has released two EPs, “Mild Anxiety” and “Sleep While You Can” featuring additional instrumentation and co-production from Patrick J. Smith (A Beacon School). Following the release of his newest single “Stranger At The Door” (ft. Misty Boyce) they project a dreamy sound that will definitely grasp your attention. Beginning with nostalgic instrumentation leading onto Misty’s sweet and soothing vocals they complete the song fully. Explaining the track a bit further it examines social anxieties in a post-COVID era, taking on the perspective of his family dog, Banjo, who has become increasingly paranoid in recent months as the world returns to a certain version of normalcy. To the vocals and production, this single will surely have you vibing. Being just perfect for a late-night drive or a walk down the beach after dawn. Go stream “Stranger At The Door” (ft. Misty Boyce)” and check out his discography which is filled with astounding music.
