Population II - Electrons Libres Du Quebec - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Introducing Population II-blazing through the stratosphere, boiling up from beneath the sea, hanging in the air like smoke... These elemental tunes drift and fluctuate, at one with the air, over extreme heat. Population II has beamed out of Quebec with a mind-melting debut [À La Ô Terre] of hard psych, freckled with punk sentiment. Both old school and timeless, these young humans rip. They are impressive in their live actions and this album captures this raw energy on wax. Produced by Manu from the great band Chocolat, a very high bar has been set, indeed. Fluid, tough, and over-saturated, this album is bound to please fans of the tag and new-comers alike. Reminiscent of Amon Düül, early Pink Floyd, Kollektiv, Laurence Vanay, Les Olivensteins, early Kraftwerk, even a touch of the Kinks. -John Dwyer

Here's the trumpet master and his great orchestra backed by the powerhouse drums of Buddy Rich and fronted by vocalist Paula Gilbert. His band was touring like mad then, and you can hear it; they do Cherry; That Old Black Magic; Moanin' Low; Embraceable You; Autumn Leaves; Sugar Foot Stomp, and more!

Chilli found acclaim with his band Palma Violets, who skyrocketed to fame, landing on NME covers and topping charts, but when the band unexpectedly ended in his early twenties, Jesson was left disoriented. He tried to rebuild with a new project, Crewel Intentions, and later ventured into pop songwriting out of financial necessity.Feeling disillusioned and creatively lost, Jesson stopped listening to the music that once defined him-until Fontaines DC invited him on tour. This rekindled his passion for raw, honest music. Inspired, he began crafting his most personal project yet alongside Rupert Greaves Dead Dads Club, with 'Don't Blame The Son For The Sins Of The Father' being the first fruits from this new incarnation.
