Comment:
what to say about Montrèal? Montrèal Canadiens, my favourite sports team is
having an amazing new season launch with 7 wins in a row. However, Montrèal is an
important location for many substantial artists, mostly related to underground
and avant-garde music scenes. Obviously two of the most well-known imprints are
Constellation Records and Where Are My Records the focus of both of those
labels are set up to promote mainly post-rock music. However, Jeunesse Cosmique
is a cult label being endorsed among the indie music fans. Nordwiijk`s album Sailor Boy is a marked notch in the
discography of the label because of embracing sounds which are puzzling enough to
be firmly categorized yet this patchwork quilt of 10 tracks is enchanting
enough to repeat it again and again in your music player. At times it is a sort
of improvised and jazz music, at times it is a sort of electronic and noise
music, at times electro-acoustic and chamber music, at times it is getting
quite close to ambient/post-rock and post-industrial music. All these elements
are organically merged with each other or juxtaposed against each other. I
don`t know what exactly it is but is sounds in a very convincing way. Certainly
it does have something of a parochial, Montrèal-alike flavour around it.
