Les Oiseaux Exotiques Interviews... Starfucker

Starfucker was playing at Il Motore last Sunday. I had my last exam the next morning, but I knew I’d regret it if I missed their show... and I had scheduled an interview with them so I would have been stupid not to go.

They played one of the best show I had seen in a long time. It was a scandal that there were so few people though, but Simian Mobile Disco and Bell Orchestre were playing at the same time, so it was just a bad time I guess.

They released a self-titled album last November, and it’s so great that I decided to officially give it a 10. If you all buy it, they promised they’re gonna come back to Montreal to play a house party where you’ll all be invited. What are you waiting for? It's right here: 

... and their mini-album Jupiter will be out on May 5.

Thanks to Catherine for the great camera work, to Eve for the cool pictures and to my sister for having nice friends such as them… and for chronometring the interview.

Efter-fucking-klang

Thanks to Rasmus Stolberg from Efterklang who was kind enough to give us a nearly 15-minutes long interview just before their totally amazing show that they gave yesterday night at Il Motore. We filmed the interview, but we didn't have much time to prepare and we were only able to bring a shitty camera, so instead of giving you shitty quality, I just rewrote the whole thing HERE.

For those who are too lazy to read, we talked about the influence of the Montreal music scene, the constant comparison with Sigur Ros, the unimportance of the lyrics, the signing of Grizzly Bear on their own label, the length of their creative process, the presence of extra-musicians on tour and the existence of a Danish music scene. 

We also filmed a couple of videos, including this one of an amazing new song, whose working title is 'I Was Playing Drums'. I think they played it for the first time yesterday night and it will probably be recorded in studio later this year. It would make a great first single for their new album.
