Featured Song:
Envious
“Envious” from the album Rabbit Shtu: Magic, Myth, Monsters & High Strangeness, wraps a supernatural tale around a very human feeling: longing for what really matters. Told from the perspective of a newly minted vampire, the song playfully dismantles the fantasy of immortality. Eternal life, supernatural power, and endless nights sound impressive until you realize what’s missing. No sunrises. No tears. No compassion. No shared moments that give life its meaning. At its heart, Envious is a…

Stilted Tracks – the Updates (see all here)
As the year draws to a close, we want to take a moment to extend a simple, heartfelt thank you from Sly, Lote, and myself JawnyB. December naturally invites both celebration and reflection. It’s a time when we pause to enjoy moments with family, friends and community, to celebrate and just be together. Wherever you find yourself this season, we hope it brings connection, warmth, and some space to appreciate the rhythms of your own year….
The Music
Latest Release
Oxy’s Morons marks a new creative stride for SixFootStilts, a bold, witty, and musically layered exploration of the contradictions that define our world. Built on the band’s long-standing chemistry and love of concept albums, this project leans into the messy middle where logic meets lunacy, where clarity and confusion coexist, and where the human condition reveals its most paradoxical truths.
Crafted with care, shaped by lived experience, and driven by a spirit of fearless experimentation, Oxy’s Morons stands as a testament to the band’s ongoing evolution. It’s smart, playful, reflective, and unmistakably SixFootStilts! A record that entertains as much as it invites deeper thought.
About Six Foot Stilts
SixFootStilts is a band that thrives on curiosity, creativity, and connection. Born out of the challenges of the pandemic and rooted in years together as Return to Zero, Sly, JawnyB, and Lote stepped into a new identity, one that values experimentation, resilience, and a shared love of storytelling through music.
Our mission is simple: to make music that elevates the soul, sparks curiosity, and inspires adventure. Every album we create begins with a theme; myth, technology, society, or something stranger. We start with a deep dive including research, debate, and exploring until songs emerge that are both playful and profound, inviting listeners to dance, reflect, and sometimes even dig deeper into the world around them.
How We Make Our Music
The heart of SixFootStilts is collaboration across four creative spaces:
- SoundQuest Studio (JawnyB)
- Glengrove Studio (Sly’s city space)
- Lifeline Studio (Lote)
- Fox’s Den Studio (the rustic cabin in the Algonquin Highlands)
Songs are conceived and built in our individual studios, then brought together, shared, and refined until they feel ready. Once we’ve shaped them into form, we gather at Fox’s Den for final reviews, listening sessions, and finishing touches, a process that balances solitude with synergy, personal craft with collective vision.
Why We Do It
For us, music is storytelling immersed in sound. Themed albums give us a chance to explore big questions and curious corners of life. Whether it’s UFOs, carnival tents, or the strange magic of folklore, our songs are invitations: take them at face value or follow the threads deeper into the themes they touch. Either way, we aim to make music that moves you, emotionally, intellectually, and sometimes physically.
What’s New
SixFootStilts is an active and evolving project, and this site is our creative hub. As you may have noticed, we’ve refreshed the website to include a brand-new Featured Song section. This section allows us to highlight specific songs, so you’ll be able to explore our catalogue one track at a time, spotlighting aspects of our music in fresh ways.
Alongside the songs, we’re sharing behind-the-scenes blogs, the sparks, the stories, and sometimes even the stumbles that shape our music. It’s our way of bringing you closer to the journey, not just the finished track.
