Population II
Idioma disponible: inglésHailing from Montreal, Population II are a heavy psych power trio with a sprawling and muscular sound that traverses blues, rock, and sludgy metal. After a handful of exploratory independent releases, they found a home on American indie Castle Face Records, which issued their 2020 label debut, À la Ô Terre. The Québécois trio of singer/drummer Pierre-Luc Gratton, guitarist/organist Tristan Lacombe, and bassist Sébastien Provençal made their auspicious debut in April 2017, self-releasing an eponymous album consisting of two lengthy tracks recorded live in the studio. Out of the gate, the band's sound was punishingly heavy with epic improvised solos and an overt affinity for the more menacing side of psychedelic rock. A second release, a similarly styled two-song, 20-minute EP called II - Onisme, arrived one year later and helped Population II net a deal with California indie Castle Face, a label co-owned by Oh Sees frontman John Dwyer. Shaving down their song lengths, though not their attack, the band released their ten-song label debut, À la Ô Terre, in late 2020.
