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.'
