Jesse Mac Cormack is finally beginning to grasp the true meaning of his music. His second studio album is as piercing as a glance, as tender as a goodbye. It’s a collection of electronic songs that swell and break like waves on a shore. The recording process was by turns enriching, peaceful, solitary and anxiety-provoking. Time, distance and therapy enabled the Montreal songwriter to finally understand everything he wanted to express.

“No matter what you’re going through, you’ll always be alone with what you’re going through,” confides Mac Cormack. It was a difficult lesson to assimilate. At the height of the pandemic, as one relationship was ending, Mac Cormack remembers finally making a decision: to move on, to change, to see himself for who he really is. SOLO captures the sound of this transformation, recorded over the course of a year and a half, a period marked by hardship, but also by relief.

As on Now, Mac Cormack’s critically acclaimed 2019 debut album, he plays virtually every instrument himself. Across 10 tracks, the singer-songwriter creates a percussive yet intimate sonic universe, influenced by the electronic textures of James Blake, Little Dragon, Caribou and SUUNS. Drum machines are surrounded by soaring synths; curses swirl alongside amorous tunes.

Jesse Mac Cormack commence enfin à saisir le sens réel de sa musique. Son deuxième album studio est aussi perçant qu’un regard, aussi tendre qu’un au revoir. C’est une collection de chansons électroniques qui se gonflent et se cassent comme les vagues sur une rive. L’enregistrement a été tour à tour enrichissant, paisible, solitaire, anxiogène. Le temps, la distance et une thérapie ont permis à l’auteur-compositeur montréalais de finalement comprendre tout ce qu’il souhaitait exprimer.

« Peu importe ce que tu vis, tu seras toujours seul avec ce que tu vis », confie Mac Cormack. Cette leçon a été difficile à assimiler. Au plus fort de la pandémie, alors qu’une relation se terminait, Mac Cormack se souvient avoir finalement pris une décision : aller de l’avant, changer, se voir pour qui il est réellement. SOLO capture le son de cette transformation, enregistré au fil d’un an et demi, une période marquée par des épreuves, mais aussi par le soulagement.

Comme sur Now, le premier album de Mac Cormack qui a été encensé par la critique en 2019, il joue de pratiquement chaque instrument lui-même. À travers 10 pièces, l’auteur-compositeur-interprète crée un univers sonore à la fois percutant et intimiste, influencé par les textures électroniques de James Blake, Little Dragon, Caribou et SUUNS. Les boîtes à rythmes sont entourées d’envolées de synthés; les mauvais sorts tourbillonnent auprès d’airs amoureux.
