Led by drummer, vocalist, and composer <strong>Vitta Morales<\/strong>, the collective continues to refine their sound\u2014this time splitting the album into two distinct halves: a jazzy, big-band-infused first act, and a punchy, pop-punk-driven second half. The result? A self-described \u201c thick milkshake of 60s surf, indie rock, and latin beats guaranteed to go down smooth but sometimes spill out your nose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Molt\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/2dUoFRrjL84CBWHJzagtRE?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Waves crash as the opening track, <strong><em>Tanker<\/em><\/strong>, a poignant and breezy tune sets the mood, leading into a set of instrumental compositions that showcase the band&#8217;s jazz chops. The second track,<strong> <em>Monk\u2019s Beach<\/em><\/strong>, is exactly what its name suggests\u2014a quirky, off-kilter tune that fuses Thelonious Monk-esque angularity with the reverb-soaked energy of surf rock. Their cover of<strong> <em>My Favorite Things<\/em><\/strong> takes a similar approach, stretching the tune into wavy territory while still nodding to its jazz roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">By this point, it\u2019s clear that King Lobster Krew is composed of top-tier musicians\u2014<strong>F\u00e9lix-Antoine D\u00e9sy<\/strong> on bass, <strong>Nicolas Lanct\u00f4t<\/strong> on guitars, <strong>Thomas Daudlin<\/strong> on tenor sax, and <strong>Hugo Leclerc<\/strong> on soprano and alto sax. Each player gets moments to shine, weaving in and out of Morales\u2019 tight yet playful arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"King Lobster Krew - Atomic Bomb (William Obyeabor cover)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g9Tuhi5VFb0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">But if the first half of <strong><em>Molt<\/em><\/strong> is an instrumental playground, the second half is where Vitta steps fully into the spotlight as a songwriter and vocalist. <strong><em>The Tannery<\/em><\/strong> is a fun, anthemic tribute to a beloved drinking spot in Fredericton, while <strong><em>Rock Band<\/em><\/strong> offers a cheeky, self-aware take on the joys (and struggles) of making music with friends, &#8220;monetize nostalgia!&#8221;. The album closes with <strong><em>Danza Langosta<\/em><\/strong>, a sunset-kissed instrumental that leaves listeners with a warm reassuring sense of closure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Like the title of this album points to, <strong><em>Molt<\/em><\/strong> feels like a band growing into itself, stretching beyond its surf-rock skin into something more eclectic, yet still undeniably fun. It\u2019s a record that doesn\u2019t take itself too seriously, yet never skimps on musicianship or heart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Montreal\u2019s (maybe the STM\u2019s) very own King Lobster Krew returns with their second album, Molt, a record that doubles down on the band&#8217;s signature blend of surf, indie rock, and Latin music, all the while expanding their horizons.
