Tambour ~ Constellations (ou comment arrêter le temps)

Montreal’s Tambour (Simon P. Castonguay) released two EPs in 2015 and 2016 that were later folded into an LP.  Since then he’s been quiet, save for the exquisite winter single “Silhouettes.”  As Chapitre I was one of the first releases on the Moderna label,

Hugar ~ Varða

Pillars ~ Cavum

Can a post-rock band be both massive AND melodic? Absolutely.  This is the arena of Indianapolis (Indiana) quartet Pillars, who live so close to October’s POST! festival that they can sleep in their own beds. “Dissolution” was the album’s lead single,
