Bio
"Overall the LP has a dark, rich vibe with the sonics of a folk Psychocandy."
Chris Page is a self-produced independent singer-songwriter from Ottawa, Canada.
His downcast songs swerve between indie rock, outsider folk and alt country, and are expertly crafted with exceptional lyrics and effortless hooks.
Chris has released records all over the world on independent labels while being the frontman and songwriter for lo-fi psych duo Expanda Fuzz and legendary pop-punk bands Camp Radio and The Stand GT.
"Split Seconds On Earth" is Chris's 7th solo LP, releasing in May 2025 on Meltingplastic Records.
The album was recorded over 2024 between Chris's home studio "Las Vanier Haus Of Fuzz" and Dave Draves's storied "Little Bullhorn Prods" in Ottawa.
"Split Seconds on Earth" is a collection of aching and longing songs that use Page's striking lyrics and outsider folk stylings to explore his unique way of seeing the world. Overall the LP has a dark, rich vibe with the sonics of a folk Psychocandy.

Reviews:
“Overall, it's a great album…Highly recommended” - Americana UK
“Despite not following Page’s career closely, was I predisposed to like this latest collection of songs? Yes, dear reader, I was. I am now a fan. No idea what took me my entire adult life to become one, but Split Seconds on Earth certainly made it easy.” - Michael Barclay, That Night In Toronto
“This is what I consider typical Chris Page. Buttery guitars, well crafted songs and evocative lyrics that float on top of it all. Great sounds all around.” - The Lower Town Sound
“Buy this new record by Chris Page. He's never written a bad song.” - Matias, Green Room/Ottawa Showbox/Cinqhole.
“There's a warm gravity to Page's solo work, an earned quality that comes from years in the trenches.” - Adam White, Some Party
“The vibe is laidback and floaty, with electric and acoustic instruments weaving together to create a beautiful soundscape. My favourite song is “Vacuum Void Of Fun.” Highly recommend.” - Suzanne Nuttall
“In ‘Decide To Stay And Swim Again’ Chris Page proves himself a worthy companion to see through dark times. He compares himself to Bonnie Prince Billy but Will Johnson is perhaps a closer comparison. Either way, Page is his own man, making authentic original music as do so many others in his world of Canadiana. 8/10” - Americana UK
“Chris Page perfectly skirts the line of punk rock and folk while playing pop songs on his acoustic guitar…Page’s latest solo release, his fourth, Volume Vs. Voice, was one of my favourite of the year, not just in Ottawa but period. Chris Page is a must see for fans of The Weakerthans and for people who love it any time a punk rock soul finds himself behind an acoustic guitar.” – Ottawa Showbox
“PICK OF THE WEEK: The interplay between acoustic and electric guitars is masterful with the electric never overpowering, only enhancing. Chris’ voice also really stands out as it seems to teeter on the edge without ever stepping off. Lyrical content is rich and personal. All in all, this record is a win.” – Cups N Cakes Podcast
“This is a clever honest album, true to its title, worth taking the trouble with the journey of understanding.” – Americana UK
