Rome Romeo presents a 7" titled Lucifemme!

Montreal indie rockers Rome Romeo have finished recording a 7” following 2009’s critically acclaimed self-titled EP. The new 7”, titled Lucifemme, officially drops February 14, 2012 on Machette Records. The four-piece recorded at Breakglass studios with Jace Lasek (Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Suuns, Land of Talk) and mixing was done by Adrian Popovich at Mountain City Studio (Sebastien Grainger of Death from Above 1979, Priestess, Sam Roberts, Duchess Says). These two new songs pack a driving, powerful punch with swirling and haunting vocals. Secrets and Tongue & Teeth are both dynamic and alluring, ebbing and flowing with anticipation, female-led passion and sincerity.

Joseph Edgar presents Interstices!

Joseph Edgar presents his new album, Interstices, set to be released independently on February 21. His fourth solo album in seven years, Interstices is more rock-inclined than its predecessors, which sat comfortably in the folk genre: La lune comprendra (2004), Oh ma ma (2006) and Y'a un train qui s'en vient (2009).

Be sure not to miss the album launch show on Thursday, February 23rd at 8pm at O Patro Vys!

Les Breastfeeders guitarist Jocelyn "Joe" Gagné signs the album's production and, without a doubt, exerts significant influence on this very interesting change of course, where tambourines and noisy guitars can be heard at the forefront, especially on a song like Feathers and Tar. Throughout the opus, Gagné's stamp is omnipresent, resulting into a unique final product. Also lending a hand are Lisa LeBlanc (banjo and voice), 2010 winner of the Festival international de la chanson de Granby, Geneviève Toupin (piano and vocals), 2006 finalist at Granby, and the musicians of The In'n Outs band. 

From start to finish, the songs offer listeners glimpses into Joseph Edgar's day-to-day existence, in the form of well-written short stories. Bursting with contrasts and various influences, Edgar's magnificent poetry invariably commands attention and transports us into a universe where time stops for a brief moment, for a short interstice…

Feist live in concert in Quebec!

Voir Cover || 29/09/2011

On October 4, Metals, Feist's most recent album, came out in a store near you! Obviously, the Canadian will travel all over the world to present her latest effort. Her tour includes shows Métropolis, in Montreal, on December 3 and at Grand Théâtre de Québec (Quebec City) on December 6. Bry Webb, from The Constantines and also the male voice on The Bad in Each Other, will open for Feist.

Here's why you should not miss these shows:

A lot of the time, notably on Caught a Long Wind, her approach to writing and arranging evokes Kate Bush in her glory years. The verses of The Circle Married the Line, with their quasi-Dylanesque simplicity, also illustrate her continued way with a melody.
Bernard Perusse, The Gazette, October 4 2011

But this was no ordinary concert, as the Toronto singer-songwriter shook up her songbook and brought an earthier, grittier feel to her music, more akin to a field recording with better mood lighting than a pop extravaganza for a diva on the rise.
Chicago Tribune, November 5 2011

[...] a refreshing and slyly badass statement of artistic integrity.
Pitchfork, October 3 2011
