Chase

The Chase's indie orchestral pop sound with electro undercurrents - for which Montreal (the city that gave Arcade Fire to the world) is known - is unmistakable from the first listen, with it's lush orchestrations and exquisite compositional details. Released on the Bonsound label and solidly produced by Philippe B and Guido Del Fabro, this new specimen of the "Montreal sound" includes French lyrics à la Coeur de Pirate and English words à la Patrick Watson, a trend among a number of Quebec groups with French-sounding names.
