Totalement Sublime

A French-language project operated by the skilful Marc-Antoine Barbier (Choses Sauvages) and Élie Raymond (Foreign Diplomats/Frais Dispo), Totalement Sublime attempts to do justice to its name, one exploration at a time. Far from being static, the duo’s music constantly renews itself, playing with listeners’ expectations as few others know-how, with confusing, eclectic soundscapes that borrow as much from the Japanese avant-garde of the ’80s as from the New York experimental minimalism of the previous decade. Music of gray zones, then, and profoundly anti-manichean: at once futuristic and nostalgic, contemplative and alive.

Projet francophone opéré par les habiles Marc-Antoine Barbier (Choses Sauvages) et Élie Raymond (Foreign Diplomats/Frais Dispo), Totalement Sublime tente de rendre justice à son nom, une exploration à la fois. Loin d’être statique, la musique du binôme se renouvelle constamment, jouant avec les attentes de ses auditeurs comme peu d’autres savent le faire à grand coups de paysages sonores déroutants et éclectiques, empruntant autant à l’avant-garde japonaise des années 80 qu’au minimalisme expérimental new-yorkais de la décennie précédente. Une musique de zones grises, donc, et profondément anti-manichéenne : à la fois futuriste et nostalgique, contemplative et vivante.

Frais Dispo

Three years after their last album, Foreign Diplomats have completely revamped themselves, moving from abundant indie-pop to… abundant indie-pop, but in French! The result is Frais Dispo, a foursome of carefree fun. On Teinte, released last spring, the band unveils a rich, supple music, somewhere between country, art-pop and Quebec chanson, with lyrics that are sometimes cryptic, sometimes comic, but always delivered with characteristic phlegm. The album also features collaborations with award-winning saxophonist Joseph Shabason (Destroyer, The War on Drugs), just to add a little jazz and new age influence to the mix, as if that wasn’t enough already.

Trois ans après son dernier album, la formation Foreign Diplomats se revampe complètement, passant d’une indie-pop foisonnante à… une indie-pop foisonnante, mais en français! Le résultat : Frais Dispo, quatuor officiant sous le signe du plaisir et de l’insouciance. Sur Teinte, paru au printemps dernier, le groupe dévoile une musique riche et souple, sise entre country, art-pop et chanson québécoise, aux textes parfois cryptiques, parfois comiques, mais toujours livrés avec un flegme caractéristique. Le groupe y dévoile également des collaborations avec le primé saxophoniste Joseph Shabason (Destroyer, The War on Drugs), juste pour ajouter un peu d’influences jazz et new age dans le lot, comme si c’était pas déjà assez.

Mattmac

Mattmac makes music with exemplary resilience. Hailing from the Garden Hill First Nation in Manitoba, the young rapper doesn’t let systemic racism or his visual impairment get him down, barriers he fights with a smile against a backdrop of homemade pop-trap productions and powerful, personal lyrics. Entirely self-produced, he’s already racked up over 12 million streams on various platforms and multiple airplay appearances on CBC, CTV and Virgin Radio after just three years in the business; an inspiring career that’s only just begun.

Mattmac fait de la musique avec une résilience exemplaire. Issu de la Première Nation de Garden Hill au Manitoba, le jeune rappeur ne se laisse abattre ni par le racisme systémique ni par son handicap visuel, barrières qu’il combat avec sourire sur fond de productions pop-trap faites maison et de textes personnels et puissants. Œuvrant entièrement en autoproduction, il cumule déjà plus de 12 millions d’écoutes sur les diverses plateformes et de multiples passages sur les ondes de CBC, CTV et Virgin Radio après seulement trois ans de carrière; une lancée inspirante qui ne fait que commencer.

Boy Golden

Who has never dreamed of eating a good Kraft Dinner with sausages slightly stoned with Seth Rogan? Boy Golden and his lush mullet will have done just that, dealing with such themes on Church of Better Daze, debut effort released in 2021. The doors opened quickly thereafter, with appearances at several major Canadian festivals and a 60-date North American tour with The Sheepdogs. On For Jimmy, an EP released in 2023, the Manitoban is less amusing and much more country, with more accomplished productions and assertive queer lyrics, moving forward with promise on the road freshly cleared by the already legendary Orville Peck.

Qui n’a jamais rêvé de manger un bon Kraft Dinner aux saucisses un peu défoncé avec Seth Rogan? Boy Golden et son luxuriant mullet l’auront fait dans tous les cas, traitant justement de ce genre de thèmes sur Church of Better Daze, premier effort paru en 2021. Les portes se seront rapidement ouvertes par la suite avec une présence sur plusieurs festivals canadiens d’envergure et une tournée de 60 dates nord-américaines avec The Sheepdogs. Sur For Jimmy, EP lancé en 2023, le Manitobain s’affirme moins drolatique et nettement plus country, avec des productions plus abouties et des textes queers assumés, s’avançant avec promesse sur la route ici fraîchement débroussaillée par le déjà légendaire Orville Peck.
