Toronto indie rocker Brodie Christ (surname rhymes with wrist) has released his second full-length album, Big Feelings. The record is a powerful statement of self-discovery, catharsis, and emotional honesty – unafraid to embrace life’s contradictions. 

Recorded at Toronto’s Canterbury Music Co. with longtime producer Neil Whitford and a trusted circle of collaborators, Big Feelings is the product of three transformative years for Christ – marked by the passing of his father, the birth of his daughter, and a personal health reset that led him to quit vices, embrace meditation, exercise, and daily Qigong.

Alongside the album, Christ spotlights “In a loop,” the contemplative and defiant focus track that serves as a perfect entry point into the record’s core themes. “I was feeling frustrated about the mental, emotional, and conversational patterns that I would get myself in,” Christ shares. “I wanted to write about trying to step out of the pattern and being pulled back in, and repeating that until, well, I stopped.”

Marked by a freeform verse melody that resists repetition, “In a loop” captures the tension between breaking cycles and falling back into them. The song’s climactic ending sees saxophone and guitar weaving together in contrasting styles – the guitar locked into hypnotic repetition while Gordon Hyland’s saxophone never once repeats, creating a striking sense of release. “It’s beautiful and sophisticated,” Christ reflects. “And I can play along with every note on my MouthSax.”
