Like a UFO that landed on stage, Karl Gagnon’s project challenged Quebec pop standards with an eclectic, energetic, crazy approach, as sweet as it is rough. Within the same song, one finds patchwork of influences: grunge, drum & bass, Mr. Bungle-style avant-rock and more, all topped by the impressive vocal flexibility of the soloist. The […]

Without a Net

Alain Brunet — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:34 +0000

This is the last major recording by the genius Wayne Shorter, alongside Danilo Perez, Brian Blade and John Patitucci, one of the greatest jazz quartets of all time, sometimes joined by the Imani Winds Chamber Orchestra. This collection of public recordings was released in 2013, the year in which the saxophonist turned 80, still in […]

Sarah-Ann Larouche — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:32 +0000

After recording the critically acclaimed Op. 9 (2007), Op. 17 and Op. 20 (both 2009) quartets, the London Haydn Quartet presented the six Op. 33 quartets in 2013. Enriched by the sound of period instruments, the meticulous interpretation of this classical masterpiece was marked by outstanding care and precision, as well as great sensitivity. At […]

Night Time, My Time

Michel Rondeau — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:30 +0000

She may not look the part, with her sulky pout and her casually rebellious attitude, but Sky Ferreira skillfully mixes synthpop and alternative rock with a healthy dose of noise on her first album, which she financed through her modeling work. Do not be misled by the roughed-up glower she displays on the cover, photographed […]

Blame Confusion

Louis Paulhus — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:30 +0000

Montreal’s Solids will soon be wrapping things up, having carved lasting memories into the minds of thousands of grunge fans. Through its unifying qualities, Blame Confusion has been able to charm disparate scenes in the Quebec metropolis. When songs like “Off White” or “Haze Away” resonate, the atmosphere is one of celebration and communion. Charged […]

Racine carrée

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

This is the greatest French-language success of the decade in the field of creative pop, and for excellent reasons. Very few artists of this calibre have brought together mass audiences with an approach of such depth. Remarkably high-quality lyrics, magnetic rhetoric and singing, pop hooks soaked in electro fluids, hip hop, Afro-pop. In the studio […]

Beautiful Africa

Alain Brunet — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:28 +0000

With John Parish, PJ Harvey’s loyal collaborator, Mali’s Rokia Traoré created a superb collection of songs in 2013, in perfect harmony with their time. A soprano with a magnificently sandy voice, a brilliant lyricist and an energetic composer, the Bambara artist put her planet-spanning perspective and deep roots in the sub-Saharan zone to good use, […]

Silence Yourself

Louise Jaunet — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:28 +0000

Mixing the dark moods of Joy Division and the more ragged sound of Wire, the post-punk Savages project was born from the desire to create concerts that fully engage audiences desperate to escape the hectic atmosphere of society. The guitar alternates between menacing, screaming echoes and powerful adrenaline rushes, without stifling Jehnny Beth’s clear, direct […]

Abandon

Jean Bourbeau — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:26 +0000

We’re over the edge from the very first second here, with the infamous hellish scream launched by Margaret Chardiet, at the time 22 and a fashionable figure in New York counterculture. The ceremonial narrative she sets up is immersed in a framework of funeral noise, building to a confrontation without compromise. From power electronics to […]

m b v

Dominic Berthiaume — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 17:20:24 +0000

The unexpected return of the English band to whom we owe Loveless, the ultimate masterpiece of ’90s shoegaze. m b v is the logical follow-up, with the familiar guitar tones perfected by Kevin Shield, the voices of the two singers in the background, and multiple layers of texture serving as the canvas. Although uneven, the […]
