Best known as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist in Foxwarren, Darryl Kissick has long been drawn to music that rewards patience and close listening. His new solo album, Character Actor, emerged during a period marked by both personal recovery and a growing sense of existential unease.
As Saskatchewan skies filled with wildfire smoke, political tensions mounted, and the world felt increasingly unstable, Kissick found himself compelled to create something quiet. "While feeling overwhelmed by outside forces," he says, "I felt compelled to make something sparse and quiet." Throughout the record, peaceful ambient passages are occasionally interrupted by harsher textures, mirroring the way moments of calm are disrupted by everyday life.
The album also began while Kissick recovered from a broken hip sustained in a hockey accident. Confined to bed for six weeks after surgery, he found himself making instrumental music almost by instinct. "Working on this album helped bring me calm and gave me a sense of purpose."
After returning from touring with Foxwarren, Kissick completed the record with help from his brother and bandmate Avery Kissick, who contributed drums and arrangement ideas, alongside Saskatchewan musicians Jakob Bjornson on double bass and Ian Cameron on pedal steel. The cover artwork, created by his sister Emily Hamilton, reflects the quiet existential dread that inspired the songs.
Trading lyrics for atmosphere, Character Actor unfolds through ambient textures, experimental instrumentals, and cinematic soundscapes. In an increasingly noisy world, it offers something rare: an invitation to slow down, listen closely, and find stillness amid uncertainty.

Shipping, Local Pick Up, Returns & Cancellations Policies.

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

LOCAL PICK UP POLICY:

Due to a large amount of unclaimed local pick ups over the years we have updated our policy. Any orders that remain unclaimed after 90 days from the initial "ready for pick up" notification will be considered abandoned and returned to our system without refund. If you are having issues picking up your order within this time frame please contact us via orders@1234gorecords.com. If you need your order shipped we can easily do so for an added shipping fee.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
