Another song off the Parlovr EP “Heaven/Hell/Big/Love”. This band is awesome. Two of the best songs I’ve heard in a while have come off this EP (I’ll let you make up your own mind about the other two). It’s big and bouncy and fun. If you listen closely you might hear a tinge of reggae amidst the sweet vocal melody and feel-good synth. Beauty in simplicity.

Montreal’s Parlovr have a new 7″ coming out on October 19th called Hell/Heaven/Big/Love.  Below is the first track off of it, and it sounds great! The production is awesome, it sounds huge. Be excited!

Bonus take-away show!

“Have you heard that new band from Montreal?”

“No, are they good?”

“I haven’t heard them either, but probably. They’re from Montreal!”

“Cool.”

Now, I don’t want to sound bitter. I LOVE Montreal. It is the absolute bee’s knees. To prove it, I’ll let you know about this great band that calls it home. Out of the ashes of the legacy built by bands like Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, and The Unicorns comes Parlovr.

I instantly liked this band from the first time I listened to their self-titled album. Armed with plenty of poppy hooks, twangy guitars, and mildly strained, up-beat vocals this band will make you bob your head. You might even feel like dancing. Yeah, you probably will want to dance, so make sure you are somewhere with lots of pretty boys/girls when you put this on.

So great music is still being made in Montreal, just like in every other major city in the world. While a person’s surroundings are obviously an influence, how good, or not good, a band is should never be judged by what city it comes from.

And anyone who still doesn’t believe that I love Montreal is welcome to fly me out there and I will gladly show them how much fun it is.
