2021 has been an interesting year for Simon Provencher.
The Victime member dropped the EP called Mesures earlier this year and now he and Fet.Nat‘s drummer Olivier Fairfield has teamed up with this new project called “album“.
Now they dropped their debut album simply called “album” which is out on Telephone Explosion Records.
11 tracks of crazy out of the normal experimental glitchy electro-rock break beats that is coming out from the Hull/Gatineau music and art scene.
About the album:
Album is the experimental glitch-groove duo of Olivier Fairfield and Simon Provencher, two tirelessly creative musicians working in the small but fertile community of Hull, Québec.
Fairfield keeps busy as a drummer and producer with acts such as Last Ex and FET.NAT, whose 2019 album Le Mal was shortlisted for the Polaris Prize.
Provencher has earned his own reputation as the guitarist of frenzied post-punk group Victime, bolstering their songs with an array of alien sounds and bizarrely shaped instruments.
Though the pair’s various bands have shared stages throughout the past five years, Album’s fractured beatscapes are the fruits of their first proper collaboration.
album gets:
