True Mountain Laurel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley Blais et Sam Lynch s’unissent sous le nom de True Mountain Laurel, un supergroupe n\u00e9 d’harmonies nocturnes, de notes vocales et d’amiti\u00e9. Leur premier projet, Angel So Bad, marie l’introspection po\u00e9tique de Sam \u00e0 l’intimit\u00e9 lyrique incisive de Haley dans des chansons folk-country poussi\u00e9reuses qui saisissent le d\u00e9sir, la croissance et le lien. L’album para\u00eetra chez Birthday Cake Records \u00e0 l’\u00e9t\u00e9 2026. Ce qui a commenc\u00e9 comme de simples s\u00e9ances d’\u00e9criture s’est transform\u00e9 en un rituel collaboratif : \u00e9changer des lignes autour d’un caf\u00e9, enregistrer des d\u00e9mos brutes, cr\u00e9er une musique libre de toute pression ou pr\u00e9tention. Influenc\u00e9 par Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams et les auteurs-compositeurs-interpr\u00e8tes canadiens du d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 2000, leur son chaud et minimaliste (guitares acoustiques, batterie \u00e0 balais, pedal steel) para\u00eet intime, honn\u00eate et vivant, autant sur disque qu’en spectacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haley Blais and Sam Lynch unite as True Mountain Laurel, a supergroup born from late-night harmonies, voice memos, and friendship. Their debut project, Angel So Bad, blends Sam\u2019s poetic introspection with Haley\u2019s sharp lyrical intimacy into dust-swept folk-country songs that capture longing, growth, and connection. It will be released via Birthday Cake Records in Summer 2026. What began as casual writing sessions evolved into a collaborative ritual: trading lines over coffee, recording scrappy demos, creating music free from pressure or pretence. Influenced by Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams, and early 2000s Canadian singer-songwriters, their warm, minimal sound (acoustic guitars, brushed drums, pedal steel) feels intimate, honest, and alive, both on record and in performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yolande Laroche, artiste ta\u00efwanaise-canadienne originaire de Gatineau et membre du groupe art-rock Pony Girl, a lanc\u00e9 son premier disque solo True Beginning chez Birthday Cake Records en 2025. S\u2019inspirant de son nom mandarin \u5170 (Lan), qui symbolise la fleur d\u2019orchid\u00e9e, Yolande fa\u00e7onne un son \u00e0 la fois intime et profond. Form\u00e9e \u00e0 la clarinette classique, Laroche marie cette formation \u00e0 des \u00e9l\u00e9ments avant-pop et explore des th\u00e8mes de d\u00e9couverte de soi, de croissance personnelle et de gu\u00e9rison apr\u00e8s une rupture difficile, \u00e0 travers une pop \u00e9lectronique assur\u00e9e et des ballades au piano sinc\u00e8res.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LITUANIE : RIOT GIRL POST PUNK. shishi, c’est le son que ferait la musique surf si elle avait \u00e9t\u00e9 compos\u00e9e dans le noir, pr\u00e8s des rives gel\u00e9es de la mer Baltique, parce que c’est exactement le cas. Benadetta, Victoria et Teresa (ce ne sont assur\u00e9ment pas leurs vrais noms) forment un trio de sir\u00e8nes autoproclam\u00e9es lituaniennes qui cr\u00e9ent une \u00ab musique poubelle z\u00e9ro d\u00e9chet \u00bb, chantant ce que \u00e7a fait de vivre \u00e0 une \u00e9poque o\u00f9 plus rien n’a de sens. C\u00f4t\u00e9 genre, shishi puise le sucre, l’\u00e9pice et tout ce qu’il y a de bon dans le surf rock, et le m\u00e9lange \u00e0 une formule chimique distill\u00e9e \u00e0 partir des sons bruts des meilleurs groupes riot-girl et punk. Le r\u00e9sultat est une ambiance magnifiquement maladroite qui rappelle les chefs de file de l’indie surf comme La Luz ou Tennis, entrant en collision avec la f\u00e9minit\u00e9 puissante de groupes comme Hole, Kleenex et Delta 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LITHUANIA \u2013 RIOT GIRL POST PUNK shishi is what surf music would sound like if it was made in the dark near the frozen shores of the Baltic Sea\u2014because it was. Benadetta, Victoria, and Teresa (definitely not their real names) are a trio of Lithuanian self-proclaimed mermaids who create \u201czero-waste trash music,\u201d singing about how it feels to be living in times when nothing makes sense anymore. Genre-wise, shishi takes the sugar, spice, and everything nice from surf rock and blends it with a chemical formula distilled from the raw sounds of the best riot-girl and punk bands. The result is a beautifully awkward vibe reminiscent of indie surf frontrunners like La Luz or Tennis, smashing into the powerful femininity of bands like Hole, Kleenex, and Delta 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
