Population II unveils Comme tu le souhaites (Ding Dong) two days before the release of their new EP Serpent Échelle
A few weeks after releasing the single R.B. in March, Population II returns today with Comme tu le souhaites (Ding Dong), the focus track from Serpent Échelle, a new EP due April 19th on digital platforms and on a glorious limited edition cassette.
Possibly the most self-referential track in the Montreal band's catalog, Comme tu le souhaites (Ding Dong) was recorded during the sessions for the album Électrons libres du québec. Written on the spur of the moment right before the recording, singer/drummer Pierre-Luc Gratton's lyrics allude to a number of anecdotes the guys experienced in the studio, and pays tribute to Trevor Turple, their dedicated sound engineer.
In the same vein as R.B., Comme tu le souhaites (Ding Dong) skilfully blends epic keyboards with vulnerable vocals that shift between singing and whispering, backed by a restless rhythm section that humbly draws inspiration from Miles Davis' On the Corner sessions.
After a run of showcases at SXSW in March, the Montreal trio will be performing in Toronto at The Garrison on April 23rd, supporting Meatbodies. Population II will also be playing a number of festivals this summer, including FEQ, Le Festif!, La Noce and BleuBleu. See the list below for details.
