Charlie Houston - Big After I Die

Big After I Die, the debut record by Toronto’s Charlie Houston, is a 9-song exploration of the precarious and often surreal experience of learning who you are while transitioning between phases of life. While some might read the title in the Van Gogh sense of posthumous fame, Houston explains that it expresses a more poetic “desire to keep developing and growing after an ending.” Which makes it a fitting title to an album about overcoming codependency and attachment issues following an intense breakup. After two critically acclaimed EPs, the nod of approval from tastemakers like Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, a Spotify billboard in Times Square, and a Grammy-nomination (via ODESZA’s The Long Goodbye), and millions of global streams, Big After I Die is a rollicking and introspective artist statement featuring Houston’s trademark quirky realism and attention to joyful experimentation.
