In the days leading up to Field Trip Music & Arts Festival, Arts & Crafts mainstay Zeus invited Scion Sessions into their Ill Eagle Studio in east-end Toronto for a taste of what the band is conjuring up for their label’s 10th anniversary celebrations. Zeus’ exclusive in-studio performance of brand new song “One Line Written In” is the first they’ve shared from their followup to Busting Visions, a gently swaying march with low-slung melody and a humid air. AUX cameras were flies on the wall for this intimate performance, captured for the ongoing Scion Sessions video series that has included exclusive song premieres by Hooded Fang, Teen Daze, Cadence Weapon, and Austra’s recently released “Painful Like”.

Scion Sessions is honoured to be a close partner of Arts & Crafts’ inaugural Field Trip. The festival celebrates the 10th anniversary of the seminal Toronto label with an immersive day of discovery and community, with world class performances, art, food, and celebration of proud collaborative spirit. Field Trip brings together a highlight reel of all Arts & Crafts artists, including a one-time reunion of Broken Social Scene, and 2012 Polaris Music Prize Winner, Feist.
