This Quebecois singer’s synth-y flavored, bi-lingual indie pop wasn’t bad. I would term it pleasant and innocuous even (actually kind of liked the steel pan-powered “Too Late”). But music that sounds like it could soundtrack a late 20-something professional women’s kind of hip dinner or cocktail parties in their CB2/West Elm-furnished downtown condo lofts are generally not albums I think of as being serious contenders for winning the Polaris Prize. Just my point of view, of course. Look for this to be on sale in the CD section next time you’re in a Starbucks or soundtracking the next wave of Gap or iPhone commercials (possibly….)
