Gene Tellem - Mind Reader
"Though it'll be a while still before we can hear all the songs on Gene Tellem's Mind Reader properly in a club, this cerebral mix of four great tunes gives listeners plenty to get lost in."
Montreal
De.Ville - ATLANTIQUE
"While mellow funk hooks, soothing sax solos, and velvety vocals are transplanted from the duo’s previous works, Montréal/Moroccan Ziad Qoulaii and Simon Pierre hit a deeper nerve on their latest offering."
Afternoon Bike Ride - Skipping Stones
"The Montréal trio's EP is a blissed-out array of blinking electronics, hushed guitar-picking, synth melodies, and LIA's balmy vocals."
Population II - À la Ô Terre
Showcasing their instrumental agility, Population II flow from one section to the next with passages of dreamy ambience turning on a dime into tumbling drum fills and earth scorching riffs.
La Fièvre - La Fièvre
"The music of La Fièvre’s self-titled debut album unapologetically reveres the power of femininity, and does so by rooting that power in another constant and enduring force: nature."
Rhododendron - La jachère
When winter arrives, it feels like somebody has taken a giant eraser and removed all of the colour from your surroundings. In place of green, red, and pink hues there are whites and greys.
Marie Davidson & L’Œil Nu - Renegade Breakdown
Davidson is confident. Just as confident as she was on Working Class Woman, except now she really gets to put her unflappability to work.
