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...

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.

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
