Avec le soleil at MTL's 2nd Die Pod Die at Phi Centre

Hello hello! We're excited to announce that we wil be part of Montreal's second edition of Die Pod Die taking place at Phi Centre on January 24th.
For those who don't know, the event focuses on two records that share "a special link". Both are played on a Hi-Fi sound system, on vinyl, in their entirety and a small talk follows the listening session. For the occasion, Avec le soleil's Zubberdust! we will be paired up with Talking Heads's Remain in Light
Come listen to these two records in High Fidelity. Find the link, hear the similarities, the differences, and after that, Julien Boumard-Coalier and Luc Bérard of MTL's record store L'oblique will talk about the experience, ask us some questions and we'll try to answer some.

If you're around, come by, it's free!
