Sundry Rock Song Stock

Description

On "Sundry Rock Song Stock," Yves Jarvis continues to refine his creative approach to his core being, where music and life intertwine harmoniously. The Montreal musician's latest album fuses genre elements in a symbiotic relationship where nostalgic folk, tender R&B, pastoral prog, and musique concrète experiments feed into each other to give birth to lush new forms. While maintaining an air of mystery with his lyrics, Jarvis's dulcet words can be interpreted as both deeply personal and politically motivated in ways we have never heard before. Jarvis's favored self-contained process found him recording each instrument, mixing the album, and even painting the portrait on the cover art. The only outside contribution came from engineer Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire, Basia Bulat, Peter Gabriel), who helped spool the tape while Jarvis played drums.
