Sheenah who? Sheenah Ko! The essential Sheenah Ko! The synthesizer expert, the secret weapon of several Montreal groups, collaborator of Le Couleur, The Besnard Lakes, Fuudge, Navet Confit, and we forget some. She reveals on Future Is Nowbetter than on his first album Nowhere in Time (2020), that she is also a songwriter capable of putting her science of synths at the service of a soaring and hypnotic pop. This composition trio at the heart of the album justifies it: the heavy rhythm give it all to a wall of diffused keyboards and guitars (Ryan Battistuzzi and Louis Fernandez take care of that) as Ko’s smooth, shimmering vocals soar across the backdrop synth wave. Suit wake-upwith its more nervous rhythm, reminiscent of the influence of a Giorgio Moroder in the work of the composer, and again on Today, more house than disco. The flowing piano-voice ballad (veiled in soft synths) Your Stare in conclusion finally recalls a Kate Bush, recently rediscovered by the series Stranger Things. Launch at Sala Rossa on June 8.
