Archipelagos
La musique d’ARCHIPELAGOS est renommée pour son absence de concession.
Aussi tendues que rêveuses, leurs pièces explosent dans des crescendos
spasmodiques, juxtaposant un amour du bruit à une passion pour les
mélodies et la composition musicale.
ARCHIPELAGOS music is known for it's unrestrained extremes. Tense, brooding quiets swell into spastic crescendos, juxtaposing a love of noise with a love of melody and songwriting.
Swift Years
Bardées de mandolines, de guitares, de basses et d’influences diverses,
les chansons de Swift Years demeurent originales et définitivement
rock. À voir, à écouter, à apprécier.
With mandolin, guitar, & bass they stir up these influences and blend them into something new, both with original material and with imaginative & rocking treatments of traditional ingredients: like the bumble bee, some say it shouldn't be able to fly, but fly it does!
Berithen Berio
This psychotropic duo landed in Montreal four years ago from Providence, Rhode Island. Comprised of brothers Brad and Andrew Barr, their performance weaves together intricacies and amusement while unfolding magical and energizing stories. The many years spent playing music in countless musical projects they have yet to fully offer their explorations as a duo to the public’s senses.
Duo « psychotronique » du Rhode Island qui se catapultait il y a quatre ans à Montréal, Berithen Berio est formé des frères Brad et Andrew Barr. Leurs prestations et histoires revigorantes amusent autant qu’elles intriguent. Profitant d’une expérience acquise auprès de nombreux projets musicaux, ces deux compères en font finalement profiter leur public.
Serena Jean
Saluée par le Village Voice, Serena Jean aime les accolades, mais évite
les étiquettes. Serena Jean et son groupe font du honky tonk, point !
The Village Voice says, "Canadian transplant and former jam band muse Serena Jean Southam is a mighty fine country-rockin' gal. Southam doesn't waste time brawling under the roots tent about labels; the singer-songwriter's too busy vying for the crown of supreme artist on the come up. She and her cracking band will entice you to honky-tonk. This is the genuine hotness—with boots!"
Harmonies et schizophrénie flirtent ensemble au sein des sombres
chansons pop de Darling DeMaes (qui, en effet, tiennent leur nom de
l’actrice porno du même nom). Bien que les arrangements sont complexes,
les mélodies – elles – demeurent homogènes.
In Montreal’s pop noir group, The Darling DeMaes (named after the tragic porn actress), sweet melodies and male-female-male harmonies meet a healthy dose of schizophrenia. Obsessive arrangements almost unnoticeably jump from section to section with an ease that somehow makes sense.
