Larynx, a Montréal-based band, has garnered attention with their dreamy sound, particularly after a remarkable track, “Un criss de beau beam,” caught a listener’s ear while catching Québécois radio waves. They recently released their album, “Ma troisième émergence,” on September 13, coinciding with their performance at the POP Montréal festival. This album showcases a rich blend of pop, folk, and indie rock, beginning with “Rêve le fun,” which features a mix of whimsy and emotional depth reminiscent of late Beatles.

The album consists of ten varied tracks, with each song presenting distinct stylistic elements. “La course folle” captures the essence of late ’70s English folk, while “Lac Guilbault” combines bistro jazz with upbeat pop. The track “Je sais pas comment me tanner” incorporates layered guitar work with hints of progressive rock, offering a dynamic soundscape that showcases Larynx’s innovative songwriting approach.

Fronted by guitarist and songwriter Alexandre Larin, who previously led the rock band Rust Eden, Larynx reflects a diverse and adventurous spirit, inspired by other Montréal artists. Their music shifts seamlessly between playful lyrics and grand choruses, exemplified in tracks like “Faire semblant,” which parallels indie icons like Radiohead.

Overall, “Ma troisième émergence” stands out as a cohesive, enchanting listening experience that flows beautifully from start to finish. The band celebrated the album’s release at La Sala Rossa as part of the POP Montréal festival, further solidifying their place in the evolving Canadian music landscape. Streaming is available on Bandcamp, allowing a wider audience to appreciate their unique sound.
