Shuyler Jansen doesn’t come across as a man in a rush. But despite having only just released his fantastic solo album, the fuzzy, spectral Dim=Sum, the Canadian already has two more records ready to go. The reason for this urgency is partly down to the fact that Jansen nearly died last year after suffering a heart attack.
“I was just lying in bed, and my wife came in and said I was blue,” he says. “I had no idea. I was just gone. Her and her dad gave me CPR. He’s a huge guy, he busted a bunch of my ribs. But they saved my life.”
