Backwater Station (2026)

Backwater Station is Cryptozoologists at their most honed and confident, a culmination of a decade of irreverent and angst-fueled songwriting in Whitehorse’s fast-changing social landscape. As contrast to the romanticization of Whitehorse as the unblemished, so-called “wilderness city,” the album’s nine songs centre elements of the left-behind, the unremarkable, and the undesired of the gentrifying urban public sphere - the city’s undeveloped gravel lots, its puke averted on the sidewalk, and the route of its human waste to the municipal sewage lagoon.
