VINYL  RELEASE DATE JUNE 26th 2026

SCORING THE UNSEEN

Imagined soundtracks for films not yet made, or never meant to be.

Emerging from Higgins’ Atlas Revolt universe, this group expands with the addition of accordion, cimbalom, marimba, strings, winds, choir, and analog electronics.
A richly textured collection revealing Higgins’ deep love of film music, nodding to classic European cinema scores while forging a singular, unmistakable voice.

“He readily blends Eastern European influences, rock grooves, psychotropic sounds, and klezmer-ish melodies, alternately creating grooving numbers and sweeping, cinematic pieces in the process.” - - Dan Bilawsky

— All About Jazz

“This Canadian ace has his fingers in so many pies at once that it probably doesn't phase him to toss off a Klezmer/surf/crime Jazz track that would have been at home in a movie produced by Golan Globus financed with Middle Eastern money. ” - Chris Spector

— The Midwestern Record

“Winningly melodic carbonated chamber jazz” - Carlo Wolff
