For Museums, Saturday afternoon\u2019s performance at Osheaga was much more than just a concert: it was a pivotal moment in their young career. Set up under the half-dome of the SiriusXM stage, facing one of the festival\u2019s many chill-out zones, the Montreal quartet turned what is often a challenging time slot into a true showcase of their potential. From the very first notes of \u201cIn Waves,\u201d Ali Kouri captures the audience\u2019s attention with her warm, natural stage presence. What\u2019s most impressive is the confidence with which Museums commands a stage of this magnitude despite their short career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smiling, guitar in hand, the singer leads the band, whose cohesion is immediately apparent. From the very first minutes, the audience sways, dances, and joins in with the band with growing enthusiasm. Carried by a slightly euphoric energy, the song unfolds with catchy melodies, while the chorus \u201cIt comes, it comes \/ in waves\u201d continues to echo long after it ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUr Best\u201d then highlights the band\u2019s more emotional side, while \u201cThis Can Be It,\u201d taken from the EP of the same name released last June, showcases their talent for powerful riffs and catchy choruses. On stage, the chemistry between the musicians is evident. It\u2019s impossible to tell whether the bassist is playing his bass or if the bass is playing him, as each of his movements naturally flows with the rhythm of the songs. As for the lead guitarist, he constantly enriches the songs with his harmonies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the concert progresses, more and more festivalgoers are drawn toward the stage, swept away by this blend of indie rock, dream pop, and alternative rock. The band takes the opportunity to unveil a new composition\u2014darker and more contemplative than their previous ones\u2014whose explosive finale stands as one of the performance\u2019s highlights. The drummer finally lets go of the restraint that had characterized his playing up to that point, unleashing the song\u2019s full energy. In 30 minutes, Museums confidently succeeded in their Osheaga debut and left the impression of a band already ready to aim for even bigger stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
