Ouch, it throws a hard and inevitable punch, particularly where it counts, my friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Expire <\/em>is cathartic music, packed with sonic and linguistic salvos that are as hard-hitting as they are emotionally imbued. English and French, metal, hip hop, alt-rock, chanson, and a healthy dose of jazz bind it all together in a high, creative and thoughtful stature. High stature, yes, but still raw, even brutal, emotions that coalesce to deal with vast, committed subjects (addiction, the climate crisis, the rising toxic right, etc.).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a double injection of energy and adrenalin, with a few well-earned and rather beautiful moments of rest, expressed in a fairly successful soft alt pop style. Jeanne Laforest\u2019s voice is superb in the softer moments, Benjamin\u2019s rap is intense and rightly percussive, the rest of the band sounds like a powerful machine yet capable of some extreme turns and steps.
