: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Having spent the past couple years wavering between self-doubt :,
: and having it figured out, Montreal's Gulfer have returned to :
:' the fore with their third full-length record. Composed of ':
,: thirteen tracks of intricate, dexterous, and incredibly fun, :,
: punk-inspired emo tunes, 'Gulfer' sees the Montreal quartet :
:' settled into their own with a career-defining record. ':
,: :,
: Set to be released via Topshelf Records, as well as with the :
:' band's first ever Canadian label in Royal Mountain Records, ':
,: 'Gulfer' is expansive in a way that sets it apart from the debut :,
: 'What Gives' and the Pitchfork-approved 'Dog Bless.' Delving :
:' into their collective influences by drawing from elements of ':
,: grunge, shoegaze, and contemporaries Oso Oso and Prince Daddy :,
: and the Hyena, the band never turn their back on their earliest :
:' inspirations, with stylistic threads tracing easily back to ':
,: Glocca Morra, Algernon Cadwallader, and TTNG. :,
: :
:' Explosive, agile emo serves as the backdrop to guitarist and ':
,: vocalists Vincent Ford and Joe Therriault's honest and :,
: vulnerable lyricism, with the two sharing the writing process on :
:' a record that tackles human nature; exploring self-doubt, ':
,: resentment, complex relationships, climate change, and the :,
: waning of youth. The band never lose the sense of playfulness :
:' and fun that is omnipresent in their live show, an undeniable, ':
,: electric energy that stems from being a group of close friends :,
: before all else. :
:' ':
,: Made to represent where they are, rather than worry about how :,
: they will be perceived, 'Gulfer' is a statement of confidence :
:' and ambition. Free of former notions that they needed to write ':
,: in a certain way to sound like themselves, the band instead went :,
: with their gut and wrote what came naturally. The result is :
:' their most definitive work to date, a record that focuses less ':
,: on ultra-technical musicianship and more on structure, space, :,
: and feel. With renewed energy in their freshened sound palette :
:' and their most collaborative songwriting yet, Gulfer have ':
,: created an album that sounds fresh and exciting, which is no :,
: small feat for a band with two albums, a handful of EPs, and :
:' eight long years under their belt. The deft and interweaving ':
,: interplay of Ford and Therriault's guitars is grounded by :,
: bassist David Mitchell and drummer Julien Daoust, whose :
:' dexterities and musicianship animate the album with explosive, ':
,: emotional kineticism. :,
: :
:' Having toured all over the world through Japan, Poland, France, ':
,: Slovakia, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Serbia and many more, :,
: and sharing the stage with the likes of PUP, Joyce Manor, :
:' Foxing, Into It. Over It., Title Fight, performing at festivals ':
,: such as SXSW, ArcTanGent, and Pop Montreal, the band is :,
: well-positioned to take their rightful spot centre stage, :
:' galvanized by their newest and best record, 'Gulfer.' ':
