Canary Complex is a baroque pop / chamber pop solo musical project, with sounds inspired by impressionistic, soft oil colors and ever-changing moods. 

When Kasey isn't playing guitar with Flood District, he is writing and recording under the moniker of Canary Complex.



A series of tragic events led to the creation of this solo musical endeavor. The debut album "When I Say Rain..." was the genesis: self-therapy by way of confessional indie storytelling. Full band arrangements filled out the canvas, with every instrument played and every vocal part sung one at a time in his bedroom studio. This album is a collection of pensive & volatile songs; best served under an overcast sky.

The follow-up record "The Tragic Dance of Dying Leaves" lifts the veil. From the first shimmering idea to the final result, this album was meticulously crafted with a very specific intention in mind: Impressionism. Like the canvases of Monet and Renoir, this record offers a glimpse into an imagined, dreamlike past. The songwriting and musical aesthetics of Canary Complex have blossomed into a verdant bouquet of soft oil colors and a lust for life. The garden now grows unobstructed with disparate influences, from Japanese visual kei to bossa nova; 80's goth to French chansons; modern indie rock to 60's baroque pop.
