Alone, Not Alone

Montreal’s MONTAG (aka ANTOINE BEDARD) got lonely making music by himself. After working all alone on his first record for France’s Gooom Disques (M83, CYANN & BEN), Antoine decided it was time to share his knowledge of arrangement and orchestration by enlisting the help of friends such as James Cargill of BROADCAST (Warp Records, Drag City), Amy Millan from STARS and BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE (Arts & Crafts), and SIXTOO (Ninja Tune, Anticon). With its strings, horns, wind instruments, layered vocals, and analog synths, Montag’s Alone, Not Alone has a lush sophisticated sound that helps redefine classic electric pop.
