The music scene in Québec is sizzling, both in French and English, with Montréal as its epicenter. Within this context, Karkwa is among one of the most vigorous and musically rich alternative rock groups with a sound that is situated somewhere between Radiohead and Sigur Rós. Each song conveys a different story with sophisticated lyrics and a lush melodic landscape. Louis-Jean Cormier's voice is sweet and velvety. The whole album "Le volume du vent" is a masterpiece. Karkwa is poised to become known on the world stage singing en français.
