Sounds Like	"He employs electronic blips and beeps and the occasional guitar stab to create inventive ultra-clean, radio friendly (under three minute) pop songs."-Azltron "Vivek Shraya could easily be Canada's next major pop act."-Arjan Writes "Vivek literally is the best kept secret in electronic pop music and his latest album should finally see him catapulted into the spotlight."-Neu Magazine "A sexy ode to electropop that's loaded with catchy choruses that will make your hips shake."-Torontoist "...Shraya has crafted an album that wastes no time introducing him as a star for the modern age."-1 Hits from Another Planet "Indie-disco-pop Justin Timberlake."-One Hundred b "Some weird hybrid of rock and thumping, dancefloor-friendly pop music."-i heart music "The Canadian Beck."-Missing Toof "Canada's electro-pop guru."-Hate Something Beautiful "Combine those guilty pop songs with phat electro beats and vocals that'll probably make the ladies swoon and you get Vivek Shraya."-Analog Scene "Sounds like an R rated boy band song performed by a Canadien who has seemingly spent large amounts of time trying to figure out a way to make Nine Inch Nails pop"-Side One Track One "Finely tuned to the pulse of the electro-indie-pop sound, layering shiny beats and effects just beneath his often compelling vocals."-SoundProof Magazine

About Vivek Shraya - New Album Nov 17

Keys & Machines is Vivek Shraya's brattier, boomier, bassier follow-up to 2007's If We're Not Talking, reuniting the Toronto synth pop artist with producer Meghan Toohey (Weepies, Lenka, Rachael Cantu) for nine new songs inspired by late-night Paris clubs and the broken spaces in relationships.

After three singer/songwriter albums in the early '00s, Vivek hung up his acoustic guitar and started setting his powerful vocals, incisive lyrics, and tight pop hooks against synths and beats instead. He's toured across North America, showcased at NXNE and CMW, and appeared with Tegan and Sara, Dragonette, and Melanie C. He was recently featured on ABC's Private Practice.

God Loves Hair, his first collection of short stories, is due next spring. Keys & Machines drops 17 November 2009.

JAMES THOMAS DAVID GONDER	Feb 7 2009 9:57 AM nice work, my friend...i think your latest offerings are fun, but your talent is rather pronounced.

Cuca	Jan 27 2009 10:45 PM Vivek, I have to say that the vocals you did for Rachael Cantu's Devil's Thunder are unbelievable. Just like Rachael, you're perfect for the song. It gave me goosebumps and you had a lot to do with it. Great collaboration. I wish you the best and hopefully we'll see each other soon. Take care, xoxo Cuca
