Exposure 44

Take 1 cheap Kmart guitar with its guts ripped out,
A two-piece drum kit
A keyboard with a mind of its own
Stir up with Montreal 3 piece PARLOVR
Leave for a 2 years in a garage somewhere in Canada.
Listen to the result below.

Reacting against the multi-instrumental, many-membered orchestral bands that crowded the local Montreal scene at the time, PARLOVR was started with the intention of blowing amps and streamlining pop melodies, bringing back the power-trio of the 90s with an off-the-wall twist.

Their upcoming self-titled debut LP (Independent, 2008) was produced and recorded by Martin Horn at Digital Bird Studios over the course of six weeks.

This track here, Pen to Paper, is the title track from the debut album, kicking off with a lo-fi rock intro, it stabilises with lead singer Jackson's voice before launching full tilt into Pixies-esque alt rock mayhem.

Amazing, listen here.
