There’s nothing simple about the experimental pop music of Montreal’s N NAO. Even an oscillating synth number like “Fleuron,” mixed with ethereal, hard to decipher vocals, has a thematic drive to it. N NAO and her band dive into the concepts of fire and love on this album, creating songs that feel like snapshots of a strange universe, one ruled by combustion and attraction. “Corps” urges you to dance, while “Pleine Lune” is more about looking up at the stars.

Art d’Ecco is somewhat of a shapeshifter from album to album, so I had no idea what to expect going into his latest, Serene Demon. The result is a boiling affair of catchy dance punk and disco glam rock that brings to mind the work of artists like T-Rex and Boney M. The highlight of this album has to be its variety of instruments: congas, synths, steel drums, marimbas, horns and basslines that get the feet moving.

We open the door and step into La Lumière Collective, a large, open, and bright room surrounded by various film, art, and concert posters. A hollowed-out old tube TV is surrounded by books and records at the back of the room. Sets of red movie theatre seats are off to the side in the middle of the room, and a projector hangs above.
