After what seemed like a pretty slow start to the season… it has, as expected, heated up FAST. Large releases everywhere, procrastinating bloggers struggling with work, making dinner, self-worth, and Covid in the house. How about we slow down, and enjoy one of the most beautiful releases of the season, Laisse le sapin allumé, by Montreal’s Châteaubriand.
As I have mentioned before, I do not speak French. I can sure listen to it though. I can also listen to the gorgeous french horns on “Romance de Noël,” and those warm drum fills on “Tempête.” I can let the outro of “21 décembre” wash over me. I can soothe my mind to the plucking of a banjo on “Notre dernier sapin.” This entire E.P. is a thing of beauty… well… musically at least. They could be singing about shooting puppies on Christmas eve for all I currently know. But… what a lovely massacre that would be, I suppose.
Bottom Line: This is the shortest, least informative review of what is bound to be one of the best releases of the season. Perhaps put a pin in this one and buy it tomorrow, on Bandcamp Friday.
