Electrons Libres Du Quebec (Can)

Population II - Électrons Libres Du Québec / 'Électrons libres du québec,' Population II's forthcoming sophomore album, is more straightforward than 'A la O Terre,' it's predecessor released on Castle Face Records back in 2020. On this new effort (produced by Emmanuel Éthier), the three-piece band - made up of singer/drummer Pierre-Luc Gratton, guitarist/keyboardist Tristan Lacombe, and bassist Sébastien Provençal - delivers a heavy, psychedelic rock-infused sound with feverish funk rhythms, a hint of jazz philosophy, a burst of early punk energy, and a love of minor scales that harkens back to the roots of heavy metal.
