Canadian indie rock band Feeling Figures fuse the infectious joy of lo-fi pop with the scrappy, guitar-intensive attack of first-era punk and garage rock. Led by Kay Moon and Zakary Slax, who had been working together for the better part of a decade before the group made their debut, Feeling Figures' purposely primitive approach made them an excellent match for K Records. The iconic American indie imprint issued the band's first full-length album, Migration Magic, in 2023.

Feeling Figures was formed by guitarists and vocalists Kay Moon and Zakary Slax, who first met in the early 2010s in Sackville, a community in New Brunswick that's home to Mount Allison University, one of Canada's leading liberal arts colleges. Moon and Slax struck up a friendship that grew into a romance, and they relocated to Montreal, Quebec. As Moon and Slax shared their passion for music, they decided to form a band. Specializing in lo-fi guitar rock with a garage-punk accent, Dead Beat Poet Society would issue four releases between 2015 and 2018. After the group's breakup, Moon and Slax decided they wanted to continue making music. In the latter days of Dead Beat Poet Society, Moon and Slax had worked with the rhythm section of Joe Chamandy on bass and Thomas Molander on drums, and they recruited them to continue playing with them in their new combo, Feeling Figures.

The band released a three-song single on Montreal's independent Celluloid Lunch Records label (run in part by Chamandy), and they were approached by the iconic Pacific Northwest label K Records about releasing their next recordings. Feeling Figures had an album's worth of material sitting on the shelf, but they preferred to give the label something fresh, so Molander brought some recording equipment to the band's rehearsal space, and over the course of two nights, they committed ten songs live to tape -- eight originals, and covers of Bobby Fuller's "​​Don't Ever Let Me Know" and Harmonium's "Pour Un Instant." The band and the label were both happy with the rough energy of the new recordings, and they became the basis of Feeling Figures' debut full-length album, Migration Magic, released by K in November 2023. ~ Mark Deming
