Les Chemins De Verre
Seeing as I just got back from a french competition (please, don’t ask how it went), it seems only fitting that I recommend a French-Canadian band today. Karkwa is my latest reason for wanting to move to Montreal, and apparently I’m not alone. They took home the 2010 Polaris Music Prize, a prize which continually reassures me that music awards still mean something. It was a deserving win, upon listening to their latest effort, Les Chemins De Verre, which is simply put, a fabulous record of rock music. In french. Unlike their other releases (which are fantastic none the less, but quite echoing of their influences), Karkwa seems to have found a sound they can call their own. And it couldn’t have come at a better time, as the band find themselves lined up for summer festivals, adding some colour to some lackluster lineups. Yes, it’s become quite obvious that I’m a bit too enthusiastic about all things french, but don’t worry, you won’t be seeing any Bloc ads here anytime soon.
