In only three years of existence, Mothland\u2019s moths have chewed out a place for themselves in Montreal\u2019s nightlife. Their cocoon is based in an underground parallel universe, out of the spotlight. Only the initiated can access the portal to this dimension, which is located in the Bermuda triangle formed by the three taverns on St-Denis Street at the corner of Mont-Royal. Despite the imposed distancing and the uncertainty that reigns over the artistic world, the psychedelic conspiracy Mothland has decided to move forward, with an officially metamorphosis into an independent label. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mark the occasion, Mothland are releasing their first cassette compilation Sounds from Mothland Volume 1, an astonishing mix of demos and unreleased B-side tracks from various local and international artists who have marked the Montreal psychedelic niche over the last five years. Below, you will find an exclusive listening link that will give you access to the tracks of the compilation. You will be able to listen to a post-disco utopian ballad by the shoegazers Yoo Doo Right, a post-punk cover of the song Enigma Of The Absolute from Dead Can Dance by the Frenchman Jessica93 or a live recording of the Sunwatchers, a New York jazz-punk quartet. To collectors and lovers of rarities, the cassette is coming out in a small limited edition of only one hundred copies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAN M 360 entered into telepathic communication with the \u201cmoth\u00e9s\u201d community to discuss psychedelic music, the mythical 4AD label, origami, and their official launch as an independent label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAN M 360: <\/strong>You launched the first Distorsion Festival in 2015. Mothland followed two years later. How was the Mothland agency created? What was lacking in the local scene?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marilyne Lacombe:<\/strong> Mothland started from the Distorsion festival, which is the idea of forming and organizing a community around the Montreal psychedelic scene, to give tools to this scene, places to broadcast, organized in a professional way, while keeping a DIY charm. The artistic direction of Distorsion became the artistic direction of Mothland. As a festival programmer [Taverne Tour and FME<\/em>], I found myself representing the scene we had built around Distorsion to other programmers and bringing it to festivals that were not necessarily niche festivals. We still opened the door to bands that would never have played in more mainstream festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
