About the EP by maxime.
The progressive, experimental medley captures maxime.’s DIY spirit, featuring him as the sole writer, producer, performer and engineer.
Listeners are lured further into maxime.’s sonic universe with each track, an entrancing experience filled with woozy synths, grungy, distorted guitar lines, and the electronic quirkiness that put the breakthrough act on the map.
His addictive pop melodies flow effortlessly, taking form as an honest reflection of the highs and lows of maxime.’s last few years: a time which saw him leave his home city of Ottawa and move to the vibrant, culture-infused neighborhood of Mile End in Montreal.
Each track is a different page pulled from maxime.’s diary, recalling tales of childhood memories, broken relationships, and personal growth.
Each EP track evokes a different feeling, and further attests to maxime.’s ability to create a sonic world that is unique to his artistry.
