As we bid adieu to yet another chapter in the strange chronicles of post-global pandemic living (seriously, are all years going to be this peculiar, or is it just us?), we're finding solace in how, amidst the chaos, Montreal is producing music as catchy, romantic, dancy, melancholy, jazzy, soulful, ethereal, poetic, and comedic as ever.
In a quest to encapsulate the essence of a nonspatial continuum that is measured in terms of events—aka the last 12 months—we’ve embarked on a mission to unearth the most underrated gems of the city.
These are the tracks that deserve a spotlight: The hidden treasures of Montreal that made us move and should take you into the New Year.
