Zachary, who also makes up one-half of lo-fi indie pop act Cinéma Vérité (Le Grand Magistery), one-half of chillwave experiment Washed Hands (Lebanon, Mass.), and regularly collaborates with Montreal's Holobody (Mush Records), is an electronic/indie-hop/hip-pop songwriter and producer. He is currently based out of Montreal, Canada.
After the release of his debut EP Perfect Day via Lebanon, Mass. (a net label co-owned and operated by Gray and Cinéma Vérité bandmate Tristan Johnston), Zachary relocated to Montreal. Inspired by his new surroundings, he wrote and recorded his debut LP Montréal I/II in only a few short weeks. It was later released by Montreal based experimental/electronic label Camomille Music. According to Gray, Montréal I/II is “the product of a tryst between dissolution and frustration”.
Towards the end of 2012 he began writing new material. A handful of these new songs form what will soon become his second LP - Harbour. The record is scheduled for a release in the latter half of 2013 via Italian imprint Bad Panda Records (a North American release has yet to be confirmed). Harbour features guest appearances from Lyndsie Alguire, live bandmate Robin Bastien, Felix Green of Holobody, These Hands, and Sea Oleena. 2013 will also see the release of a remix compilation. Reinterpretations - Remixes: 2010-2013 will be released on CD & DD July 2nd via Camomille Music.

Yesterday afternoon I performed a tune at my ten year high school reunion. I hadn't given the whole thing two thoughts – but when a good friend told me she'd be performing and that it would be totally worth it, I had a change of heart. Honestly, I'm glad she did. I actually had a decent time...
