Damn, this is good!
Thanks, Timis!

I just thought it deserved its own thread so that we could all share the love.

RIYL: Arcade Fire, Mercury Rev, stuff like that... in French.

Agreed. I really like "Montreal -40."

Apparently drops in the U.S. next week (?)

It's basically the best french indie rock album Montreal as released in years.

Nice to see the 'Jube's getting some props stateside.

I liked what I heard from the blog sites, but have not heard the whole album.

What about Les Breastfeeders? Or Les Dales Hawerchuks? Tabernac.

You also haven't heard my francophone band: Happy Hour.

We're distributing this album, but I haven't listened to it yet. Just grabbed a copy.

Pierre Lapointe and Les Vulgaires Machins too i guess could be added to the list.

a bump for this marvelous album. timis bought it to my attn a while ago and i hadn't had a chance to give it a spin but when i did i was rather impressed. will probably end up cracking my top 20. anybody that liked arcade fire would pretty much have to dig on this.

I do not see the Arcade Fire connection, sorry. I want to say it'll appeal more so to fans of Dungen, and even Mars Volta. This is a bizarre record to me.
