These pulsating floorboards Drown out the discord Leave your teeth by the bedside Won’t need them where we’ll hide Can’t stand the rumble above me This Luchador match has to cease Find a new home to tread And reacquaint my head with my bed Some sleep Guaranteed No marching bands At 4am Home, ain’t what it used to be I know, I’m gonna be happy Home, ain’t what it used to be That’s why, i’m moving to Jarry

Business man Now you’re stuck at home again At thirty five Forever dry January drive Everyday A workday Julien A hide and seek game How you want to spend A weekend so tame Kombucha to the side I guess thanks for all the rides My friend, just saying Julien A role so fitting Was always the plan Adored from beginning Influences having tried but will always let it slide My friend Julien

Jabroni 02:19 video
Bedroom so dim A 2d fetish gone unchecked Cannot count all of the seasons he has seen Goddamn the steam The bathhouse of your dreams Is this where you want to be On a body pillow Callow feelings from the screen watching another Shojo Hello Hoshi you call from your telephone But this person isn’t real Yes, you’ll always be a No beach episode This isn’t your show

Too close to my side of the bed She said This tents not made for two Gone fishing for compliments instead Reeling I’m just trying to make do Come summer Ice thaws out the terrain Lets see if it melts you too I’m such a bummer But you’re being a square A real Huey Lewis Hard feeling you’ll be sleeping until May Stuck inside all day, week old of delivery Those trails wont stop calling my name Slumbering away, Adirondacks to blame Sick of delivery Adirondacks to blame!

Jorts 03:08
Long these green days come to pass Six months have gone since I’ve even felt this draft Winter guarantees Covering my knees Faded now it feels so long ago Hug me! Like we’re in a sitcom Too tight! And once again you’re too strong for me A decade of the finest yams you have seen A digest of adventures that we have been Anew i hope this lasts It’s always gone too fast Anew i hope it lasts It’s always gone too fast

Stuck inside a maze on a cereal box In a haze i find that I’ve gotten lost again Fingers covered in glaze The sweetness starting to fade Collecting thoughts as they come back to me In a haze i find that I’ve gotten lost again Fingers covered in glaze again The sweetness starting to fade again

Jujube 02:59 video
Slippers on, it's cold, I just sat down I just can’t say no, slowly drag me out Into the snow Jujube, the only one for me Jujube, Samoyed of my dreams Please don’t sit on my guitar Can never keep it clean Jujube, the only one for me Let’s head south, just the two of us Until we hit the sea Shaggy feet they carry you to me A wake up call of day old pedigree It’s meant to be
10.
Jambalaya 03:53
Burst through the door High fives and embraces, Jambalaya on the floor A routine scene Gotta be kidding Sprawled on the floor Half past 9, curfew killing me, i never have the time A routine scene Gotta be kidding Welcome home To a place i've outgrown And now i see Just debris Thats why im moving to Jarry Nice looking out Like sliding into third All my analogies Are worn out Like sliding into third All my analogies are worn out

Although they’ve been playing together since 2019, Avec Plaisir really came to life in 2022. With the release of their debut LP, the modestly titled An Album, they built on everything impressive about their Demos for Dave and I Don’t Really Car EPs. Throwing emo, math rock, punk, and even flashes of post-rock into a blender, the Montreal foursome have honed their craft. From the second that noodly riff kicks in on “Jarry St.” following the introductory ambiance of “Junction Before Jarry St.” it’s full speed ahead. “Julien’s Song” and “Jabroni” give the band a chance to flex their pop rock muscles and turn in some of the catchiest hooks on the record, and the instrumental “Jeopardy Answers” leans into full math, bursting and twinkling like an auditory sparkler.

The stop-start cadence of “Jujube” is so mesmerizing it’s easy to miss the fact that it’s about a dog–but, really, doesn’t that just make it all the more endearing? By the time the gang vocals at the end of closer “Jambalaya” have been buried under looping riffs, it’s only been 25 minutes. What a pleasure indeed.
