Pastel Blank (20h)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019art-rock et le funk se donnent la main dans un mariage de staccato et de groove, orchestr\u00e9 par Pastel Blank. Form\u00e9 en 2019, ce projet montr\u00e9alais est dirig\u00e9 par le chanteur et auteur-compositeur Angus Watt. Puisant son inspiration dans les rythmes saccad\u00e9s et la curiosit\u00e9 genre-m\u00e9langeante des Talking Heads, ainsi que dans le travail de guitare entrelac\u00e9 des figures canadiennes du post-punk Women, la musique de Pastel Blank enveloppe l\u2019exp\u00e9rimentation dans des structures de chansons accessibles. Leur nouvel EP, Pastel Blanc, est disponible d\u00e8s maintenant. Enregistr\u00e9 avec le multi-instrumentiste et producteur bas\u00e9 \u00e0 Victoria David Parry, connu pour son travail avec les groupes de l\u2019\u00cele de Vancouver Loving et Jons, ainsi que l\u2019artiste internationale tr\u00e8s acclam\u00e9e Alice Phoebe Lou, Pastel Blanc est un m\u00e9lange \u00e9clectique de guitares d\u00e9licieusement d\u00e9cal\u00e9es, de r\u00e9cits pittoresques et d\u2019un ensemble de grooves \u00e9tonnamment pr\u00e9cis et hypnotiques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art-rock and funk join hands in a marriage of stutter and groove, officiated by Pastel Blank. Formed in 2019, the Montr\u00e9al-based project is led by singer\/songwriter Angus Watt. Pulling influence from the jerky rhythms and genre-blending curiosity of Talking Heads as well as the interlocking guitar-work of Canadian post-punk luminaries Women, the music of Pastel Blank cloaks experimentation in pop-minded song structure. Their new EP, Pastel Blanc, is out now. Having been recorded with fellow Victoria-based music multi-hyphenate David Parry, known for producing fellow Vancouver Island acts, Loving and Jons, as well as the highly acclaimed international artist, Alice Phoebe Lou, the Pastel Blanc EP is an eclectic jumble of wonderfully wonky guitar-tones, picturesque storytelling, and an altogether clockwork of uncanny grooves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Barbier (21h)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originaire de France et \u00e9tablie \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al depuis plus d\u2019une d\u00e9cennie, H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Barbier chante en anglais et en fran\u00e7ais sur des m\u00e9lodies avant-pop agressivement anti-compliqu\u00e9es. Entour\u00e9e de musiciens talentueux qu\u2019elle sait allergiques aux accords fatigu\u00e9s et aux remplissages inutiles, elle cr\u00e9e des d\u00e9s\u00e9quilibres heureux par juxtaposition de notes simples, mais d\u00e9routantes qui forment la base d’un jeu complexe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hailing from France and based in Montreal over the last decade, H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Barbier switches between English and French atop aggressively anti-complicated avant-pop melodies. Surrounded by talented musicians whom she knows to be allergic to tired chords and unnecessary fillers, she creates an imbalance through juxtaposition. Four simple notes become evocative alongside four disorienting, different notes, and this simplistic rule has become a basis for complex play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N Nao (22h)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

N NAO, nomm\u00e9e Naomie de Lorimier, est une artiste n\u00e9e et bas\u00e9e \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al. Elle explore la romance exp\u00e9rimentale par la musique, la performance et la vid\u00e9o depuis des millions d’ann\u00e9es. Ses compositions s’inscrivent dans une d\u00e9marche \u00e9cof\u00e9ministe, inspir\u00e9e de r\u00eaves et de rituels. Son deuxi\u00e8me album L’eau et les r\u00eaves (24 mars 2023 via Mothland) repousse les limites de la chanson entre sonorit\u00e9s \u00e9lectroniques et organiques. En plus d’une reconnaissance du public et de l’industrie, il lui vaut une place sur la Longue Liste du Prix de musique Polaris 2023. N NAO nous revenait l\u2019hiver dernier avec Nouveau Langage, son troisi\u00e8me long jeu paru le 31 janvier 2025 via Mothland, deuxi\u00e8me \u00e0 se retrouver sur Longue Liste du Prix de musique Polaris (2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N NAO, also known as Naomie de Lorimier, is a Montr\u00e9al-born and based artist. For millions of years, she has explored experimental romance by way of music, performance and video. Her compositions employ an ecofeminist approach inspired by dreams and daily rituals. Her second full-length, L\u2019eau et les r\u00eaves (March 24th, 2023 via Mothland) challenged traditional singer-songwriter music by aptly blurring the line between electronic and organic sounds. Celebrated by the public and the industry alike, the album made the Long List for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize. Last Winter, N NAO came back with Nouveau Langage, her third full-length released on January 31st, 2025 via Mothland, her second album to be long-listed for the Polaris Music Prize (2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
