I was mightily impressed by Maintenant Jamais<\/a><\/em>, last year’s album from francophone Montreal psych band Population II. They’re following it up this April with a new EP, Gimmicks<\/em>. Lead single “Magouilleux” sits in the middle of the five-song tracklist, and it makes for a sprawling centerfold. Powered by bleary keyboards and propulsive bass, the track spreads out over you like a fog, then gets its claws in you with piercing guitar and vocal melodies. Those drum fills are just begging to be sampled somewhere. Listen below. <\/p>\n

TRACKLIST:
01 “Ang\u00e9lisme”
02 “Cha Cha les Mouill\u00e9s”
03 “Magouilleux”
04 “Liaisons (450)”
05 “Journ\u00e9e Gratis”<\/p>\n

Gimmicks<\/em> is out 4\/3 via Bonsound. Pre-order it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
