Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the vibrant Quebecois underground, this acoustic ensemble crafts a highly cinematic, entirely instrumental fusion of traditional French-Canadian folk and complex modern chamber music. The compositions are heavily defined by the intricate interplay of acoustic guitars, violins, and cellos, navigating sudden dissonant turns and intricate rhythmic structures. The project eschews standard rock instrumentation entirely, relying on sheer acoustic virtuosity.
