N NAO

Pleine Lune

dream pop, musique électronique, pop expérimentale
En parfaite synchronicité avec la dernière super Lune, l'artiste montréalaise N NAO présente son dernier titre « Pleine Lune », à paraître sur l'album Nouveau Langage via Mothland le 31 janvier prochain. Accompagné d'une vidéo créée à l'aide d'images analogiques par l'artiste Charline Dally (« Le désert mauve »), ce nouvel extrait expérimental et hypnotisant prolonge ses réflexions sur le soin et la danse, dans un contexte de féminisme divinatoire, où l'artiste se cherche et cherche perpétuellement à réinterpréter, sous toutes ses formes, ce que signifie le mot « réalité ».

SAMWOY

Poison

grunge, post-punk
If you've had the chance to catch Sam Woy live during Taverne Tour or as the opening act for PYPY, you already know his penchant for storytelling, transforming his cacophonic shows into awkward parties to celebrate sadness with humor and raw honesty. Woy's latest single, "Poison," is the most well-articulated distillation of his project to date, focusing on extreme moments of individual experience, the psyche, and personal trauma. The track seamlessly blends the poetic, fractured urban mythology of Television's "Marquee Moon," the tortured angst of Nirvana, and the post-punk sound of IDLES or Fontaines DC's debut work.

Mulchulation II

art rock, hardcore punk, krautrock, noise rock
Un nouveau phénomène biologique vient d'être découvert sous le pont Van Horne. Si vous ne connaissez pas l'alcalinisation, l'ionisation, la phosphorylation ou la méthylation, laissez faire, ce qui va suivre est bien plus révolutionnaire. La Mulchulation II, un croisement génétique simple à réaliser, nous laisse imaginer un moyen de survie si, après la guerre, toute l'infrastructure de la musique était détruite.

La Sécurité

Detour

art punk, egg punk, post-punk
In the misty landscapes of Montreal's indie scene, La Sécurité's latest offering "Detour" emerges as a reflection on beautiful imperfection. The band embodies this philosophy firsthand, having formed as a serendipitous accident during the pandemic. The band is currently riding a wave of success, touring America alongside British veterans The Go! Team, who are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their seminal album "Thunder, Lightning, Strike." This tour coincides with La Sécurité's signing to the prestigious Bella Union label, helmed by Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins, Snowbird) who was attracted by the band's ability to reconnect him with his own post-punk roots, both musically and historically.

N NAO

Corps

dream pop, electronic, experimental pop
After diving into the aquatic depths of L'eau et les rêves (Mothland) and exploring the mystical reflections of Miroir, N NAO emerges with ‘Corps’, a work that marks a promising turning point in her artistic career. Composed alone and in isolation at the Baie-Saint-Paul convent on a simple 4-track, it heralds the release of her next album, Nouveau Langage, due in January 2025.
