"Bridges To Dreams"



Avec un nom pareil le trio Post-metal psychédélique montréalais a tout pour nous faire penser que leur musique peut emmener loin, et ce n'est pas publicité mensongère. Comme beaucoup de groupes locaux Bridges to Dreams n'a que ses instruments, un local miteux et quelques appareils basiques pour enregistrer afin de nous laisser écouter ce que seuls les murs ont d'habitude la lourde tâche d'encaisser. Décharges de lourdeur croisées à une progressivité abrutissante, le trio flirte avec différents styles sans jamais ennuyer, délivrant une musique submergeante d'émotions. Nous avions eu l'occasion d'encaisser le projet live lors de concerts montréalais (avec Vandamn! et Cope à l'Esco ou encore avec Masseter au Café Chaos) et ce fut tout une expérience. Bridges to Dreams est actuellement selon moi, le groupe montréalais le plus talentueux de sa catégorie mais aussi celui qui n'a pas la visibilité qu'il mérite. Ayant à leur actif 3 albums dont l'excellentissime The Fall sur lequel il faut absolument jeter une oreille je n'ai malheureusement pas grand chose à annoncer concernant le groupe mis à part cet énorme jam dont que je me délecterais bien sur support physique. La deuxième partie du jam ainsi que quelques morceaux de The Fall ça se passe dans la suite. À vos casques ! - Pelecanus.net


"Bridges To Dreams - The - Fall - 2010"

Album ten proponowany przez kanadyjskie trio mocno przypadl mi do gustu. Dlugo nie musialem sie przekonywac do motorycznych temp, ciekawych melodii oraz bardzo fajnego klimatu, oddajacego niejako surowy, lecz piekny krajobraz pólnocno amerykanskich rubiezy. Album ten to cztery bardzo rozbudowane kompozycje, naszpikowane wrecz swietnymi motywami. Ciezar poprzeplatany z subtelniejszymi momentami oraz dosc mocno wyczuwalna psychodelia robi naprawde fajne wrazenie. Kazdy z utworów niesie ze soba bardzo duzy poklad emocji, pomaga malowac w umysle sluchacza pastelowe pejzaze, wyczuwalne z kazdym taktem. Z rzadka wystepujace wokale w formie przeciaglych zawodzen wypadaja równie swietnie co warstwa instrumentalna. Stylistycznie zespól porównac mozna do Red Sparowes czy Souvenir`s Young America, choc w przypadku Bridges to Dreams mamy do czynienia z nieco brudniejsza forma przekazu. Sluchajac krazka ciezko uwierzyc, ze zespól sklada sie tylko z trzech muzyków. Kawal naprawde swietnego i swiezego materialu.
Absolutna rekomendacja!



Translation:

Album is proposed by the Canadian trio fell strongly appealed to me. Long did not have to convince the motor temp, interesting melodies and a very coolclimate, offering the kind of raw, but beautiful landscape of North Americanborderlands. The album consists of four very complex compositions, full of evengreat themes. Weight interwoven with subtle and sometimes quite noticeablepsychedelic takes really good impression. Each song carries a very large deckemotions, helps in the mind of the listener to paint pastel landscapes, you can feel with every beat. Occasionally, the vocals appearing as the fall as well as instrumental layer. Stylistically, the band can be compared to Red Sparowes and Souvenir `s Young America, although in the case of Bridges to Dreams we have a little dirtier forms of communication.Listening to the disc hard to believe that the team consists of only three musicians. A piece of really great and fresh material. - Mizanthropy blog


"Bridges To Dreams - The - Fall - 2010"

Swietna plyta trio. Dwie gitary plus perkusja. 4 dlugie, spójne numery. Gitary obladowane niekonczaca sie iloscia efektów i duze wyczucie rytmiczne. Fajne melodie i rewelacyjne brzmienie. Atmosfera rozkreca sie z kazda minuta trwania plyty. Nie jest to moze odkrywcza muza ale klimatu starczylo by na kilka innych albumów. Jedyny minus to momentami zbyt pompatyczne fragmenty zahaczajace o rockowa klasyke. Generalna ocena jednak musi byc pozytywna. Link to spakowane wavy wiec troche wazy ale to detal.

Translation:

A great trio album. Two guitars plus drums. 4 long, consistent numbers. Guitarladen with endless amount of effects and great sense of rhythm. Cool tunes and excellent sound. The atmosphere gets going every minute duration of the disc.It's not revealing enough muse, but the climate by a few other albums. The only drawback is sometimes too pompous passages touching on rock classics. A general evaluation, however, must be positive. Link is so packed wavy but it weighs a little detail. - Music is a weapon


"Bridges To Dreams - The Fall(2010)"

This is fantastic, layered and atmospheric music, seriously an experience listening to The Fall. Don't pass it up. - Of Sound Mind 2.0


"Bridges To Dreams - Fall"

Fantastic post-rock. 2 guitarists, a drummer and a shit-load of pedals. They share 2 members of Dead Fawn. Similar to the spacey atmospheric music of bands like VVB, Caspian and Gifts From Enola, except without the more metal-like riffs. Instead going for a slower, layered atmosphere. A trance inducing album that flows as one big track. Turn this one up loud. - Soundweave

"Bridges To Dreams - The Fall"

A trio of musicians consisting of two guitars and a drummer poised to push the boundaries of post-rock/metal, hardcore in a instrumental fashion. Mixing in elements of drone, ambient noise and psychedelia, they strive to create different atmospheres that are progressive and unique. - Post-Engineering Blog:

Bio

Bridges To Dreams is a rock/psychedelic/experimental band from Montreal,Qc composed of four musicians of various influences. Formed in 2006 by Sylvester Malik (guitar, synthetizer, sound effect), Frank Christin (bass, guitar, sound effect), Chris Lebanc (drum) and Claude Boucher (vocal 2006-08). The band run as an instrumental trio from 2008 to 2010, then joined in 2011 by Dave Gallant (sampling, synthetizer, keyboard, percussion, sound effect).

Having a very open and DIY approach, the group has been involved in the Montreal underground music scene for the last few years, especially through the late LFH (LoftFromHell). The LFH was a venue for music practices and also a silkscreening workshop, which also had as an objective to produce concerts to help local and international artists and groups showcase there music and art. Dave Gallant was the co-founder of the venue.

With more than a hundred live performances since they first came out of their seedy practice room in 2007, the group has acquired an ease on stage. Improvisation being a integral part of the groups identity and performance. Bridges to Dreams strives to create an experience that is both exciting and rich for the audience as for themselves.
