Today the Montreal-based rock trio Population II dropped the music video visualizer for Pourquoi qu’on dort pas via Bonsound.
The final single is taken from Électrons libres du québec which comes out this Friday via Bonsound.
Another moody hazy psych-rock tune.
About the track:
Pourquoi qu’on dort pas (translating to ‘’why aren’t we sleeping’’) emerged from a number of late-night strolls through the streets of Montreal’s Ahuntsic neighborhood.
During the time we wrote that song, Pierre-Luc (singer/drummer) used to go running at night when he couldn’t sleep, explains the trio. As the flora and fauna of Ahuntsic is very diverse, he often came across geese.
Anything but drowsy, Pourquoi qu’on dort pas is a true musical epic that captures the feeling of detachment from reality and explores the theme of birds as symbolic figures.
Here, the trio is joined by Colin Fisher (Caribou, Born Ruffians), whose saxophone licks combine harmony and dissonance, bringing Population II’s second album to a magnificent and tumultuous close.
