french-canadian band from Montreal, sorta like a blend of Broken social scene, The arcade fire and Wolf parade...only with french lyrics....pretty good i say...

apparently they have two albums? according to last.fm anyways, i only have Trompe-L'oeil...

Looked them up on Allmusic

never heard of them

Oh c'mon! This is one of the best indie albums of 2006! Is it because they sing in french?!

Never saw this thread, obviously. But I enjoyed that album - they were disappointing live, though.

I find that hard to believe.

Hard to believe that I enjoyed the album? I assure you, I did! Lol.

Well I don't believe you. ;)

Bump. New album is ooot. I'd say it's slightly less epic than Trompe L'oeil but still a healthy dose of cabaret-prog-pop craziness.

Listen to the lead single: http://cdn.stereogum.com/mp3/Malajub...20Ursuline.mp3

A taste of Trompe L'oeil, for those totally not in the know:

Malajube - Pate Filo


And if that doesn't grab you, their most popular song:

Malajube - Montreal -40°C


Crazy good, I know. Now get Trompe L'oeil.

Oh, I didn't know they made a vid for this song. It's my favorite from Trompe...so...melancholically epic...

Malajube - Etienne d'aout
