Released in 2012, the delicious Belirdi Gece draws on deep into in their melancholic and highly melodious universe. With […]

Father Creeper

Alain Brunet — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:30 +0000

A world citizen, Spoek Mathambo offered a compelling overview of urban culture in South Africa in 2012. Very aware of digital and analog possibilities, this artist has generated a joyful multi-genre mess: songs, rap, percussions, guitars, keyboards and machines whirl wildly through 11 contagious tracks… These are the rumblings of a new global sound, non-Western […]

Roomful of Teeth

François Vallières — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:28 +0000

This eponymous album from the American vocal octet contains several little jewels of creativity. Scattered among the other works in this recital are the four movements of Partita for 8 Voices by the American Caroline Shaw, winner of the 2013 Pulitzer Prize. Luciano Berio’s Sinfonia (1968), Olivier Messiaen’s Cinq rechants (1948), European baroque song and […]

Black Radio

Ralph Boncy — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:28 +0000

Before the advent of mobile applications, no one in Quebec had the slightest idea of the bold sounds of Black radio in the United States, stations such as WBLS in New York or Brooklyn’s fictional 108 FM, imagined by Spike Lee in Do The Right Thing (1989). The carefree pianist Robert Glasper again lets slip […]

Roi sans carosse

Luc Marchessault — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:26 +0000

By the time this sixth opus was released, Abdoulaye Diarra, alias Oxmo Puccino, the most phlegmatic of French-language MCs, had already established his style and was busy refining it. Using a range of aesthetic support — jazz, waltz, pop with a dash of electro, a mini string ensemble — Oxmo delivers his rhymes in his […]

Light Up Gold

Dominic Berthiaume — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:26 +0000

After 2011’s very forgettable American Specialities, Parquet Courts came back to the spotlight with Light Up Gold, an unpretentious and oh so enjoyable album. Fifteen tracks, 33 minutes and as many hooks. Both funny and sardonic, the work is a joyful cross between the punk of early Wire and slacker indie rock à la Pavement. […]

Adventures in Your Own Backyard

Rupert Bottenberg — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:26 +0000

After the busy Wooden Arms in 2009, and too long on the tour trail, impressionistic piano-man Watson and his band dragged themselves home to Montreal, to familiarity, domesticity, all the “little things” that fed into this frankly more focused follow-up. Watson’s expressions of intimacy are ever epic, though, his lucent fingerwork and aching falsetto swaddled […]

Beat Music

Alain Brunet — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:22 +0000

Among other projects, the excellent New York drummer Mark Guiliana guides the destiny of a band inspired by electro and hip hop. Anything new under the sun? In fact, he is one of the few to succeed at the integration without the impression of electronic ornaments affixed to a form similar to jazz fusion in […]

Desesperanza

Patrick Baillargeon — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:22 +0000

Meridian Brothers is Eblis Álvarez’s laboratory for his craziest and most avant-garde ideas. Electropicalism? Psychotropicalism? Lysergic exotica? Nothing stops this mad scientist of rhythms and sounds who gets his jollies mixing, tinkering and tampering with everything at hand. Álvarez creates an experimental Dadaist soundtrack that supports a series of silly, crazy stories, a bit as […]
