But that was a while ago… Some people will also point towards Arcade Fire. (Though I don’t find they’re quite as hot shit as everybody seems to think… They’re good : Just not “that” good when compared to all the hype, imo.)

This being said, at any given time you can go around the Montreal French scene and find plenty of very innovative acts. I personally find that, genrally speaking, this side of the language barrier is much more active and also more opened to different influences and ideas. Maybe a result of not confining themselves to anglo culture.

-Do you know Les Amis au Pakistan ?
Check them out on Youtube.

Some La Patère Rose on Youtube as well, btw. (I just discovered them at Osheaga last week.)

Wouldn’t go quite that far. Godspeed you! Black Emperor/Silver Mt.Zion, without a doubt the most innovative band of the last 20 years, perhaps in the world, is a mostly anglo band.

And please let me know where I cn find La Patère Rose material! Loved their Misteur Valaire project.

Les amis au Pakistan

D.J. Champion

Karlof Orchestra

Ma Blonde est une chanteuse

Beast

La Patère Rose

We are Wolves

The National Parks

Malajube…

The montreal Anglo scene always has an angle over the rest of the worlwide anglosphere. (Like wearing beards when no one else do.)

Yet it is true that the French scene is where you’ll want to look for truly avant-garde, truly innovative art. Music that is well aware of the global culture it swims in, yet that feels less compelled to conform to it.
