""Le Navire Chavire" ("The Ship Capsizes")
"Le Navire Chavire" ("The Ship Capsizes") by Montreal trio M'lasse shape shifts from nimble surf guitar shapes that feel like long lost summer Polaroid memories running at a fast clip while Amer El-Balaa (guitar/vocals) waxes poetic and bassist Antony Plante anchors it all down with drummer Steve Clairmont. The last track on the band's self produced eponymous EP breezes by all too fast but not before erupting into a heavy handed mix of stoner rock and alt art rock surprises. I am digging the wanderlust gone awry.

Named after Montreal's now disappeared "Faubourg à M'lasse" neighborhood, Montreal trio M'lasse came about when Amer El-Balaa (guitar/vocals) answered an online ad by childhood friends Antony Plante (vocals/bass) and Steve Clairmont (drums) in search of a guitarist. A longtime fixture in the Montreal music scene, Amer (a veteran of Montreal bands such as Stop Thief!, Ghosts Before Breakfast, Arbor Glades and Les Moops) brought his knack for dynamic and versatile songwriting to Antony and Steve's near-telepathic musical interplay. Packing in 7 songs in 22 minutes, the band's self-produced and self-titled debut EP, invites listeners on a musical journey from hazy, narcotic psych to full-bore shoegaze roar with detours through undulating, middle-eastern flavored surf, thunderous 70's style riffing, fuzzed-out downer pop, and noise rock freakouts.
Pour son premier EP, M’lasse vous invite à un trip musical à saveur lo-fi, qui inclut du psychédélisme narcotique, du surf ondulant moyen-oriental, du shoegaze orageux et du fuzz brumeux (passant par le rock angulaire des années 70.)
