slavetothegroove Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 What's their sound like? Heavy? More indie-ish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I think they're indie/pop; one notable thing about them is that all of their lyrics are in French.http://www.ottawaxpress.ca/music/music.aspx?iIDArticle=10993Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 i don't know what you mean by 'indie'....they are melodic, talented instrumentally, sing all in french, very good live, sometimes heavy, sometimes poppy....here is a bio of them i found on the netMalajube is a five-piece Montreal quintet that weds grinding guitar rhythms and bubblegum pop hooks. Named for a frog disease, Malajube betray none of their Francophone origins as they perform in French bypassing the usual acquiescence to English of many Quebecois bands.Not that language barriers have kept Malajube from breaking through on college radio across the continent, they mix a potent blend of nervous synth, lilting feedback and hummable guitar pop that speak to audiences, no matter their mother language. Sometimes the translation for mere Anglophones just ruins what they didn’t need to know.This 2006 release, entitle Trompe-l’Oeil, which was recorded at Breaking Glass and Beat Box studios in Montreal by Ryan Battistuzzi. It sees the band collaborating with the likes of Pierre laPointe, Loco Locass and members from Les Trios Accords and the Dears. The new album offers elaborate, carefully crafted, catchy and melodic tracks such as “Casse Cou†and “La monogamie†that showcase their explosive pop.
