I Found Your Faces
Of Montreal
You Are My Symphonic
Montreal-based
electronic artists really captured SCQ’s attention this year but one release stood
out from the pack. A conceptual elegy to his island city. I Found Your Faces Of
Montreal traces songwriter Vishal Kassie’s journey from his formative years in
Toronto to his home in Quebec’s largest city. Instead of going the Sufjan
Stevens’ route by using historical quirks for inspiration, Kassie ties his
experiences in with the city’s culture and geography.
Emphasizing emotions
over infrastructure is a wise move for Kassie, who crafts a more introspective
record by instilling I Found Your Faces Of Montreal with so many relatable rites
of passage. Like a travel notebook enduring constant change, You Are My
Symphonic’s songs brim with dislocated passion; the sort that will shake some
listeners but hearten those with the capacity for it. Expect this album to
continue building steam into 2012.
