” This new record sees the trio defining their sound and refining their purpose through a soft palette of lo-fi guitars, silky harmonies, and sentimental soundscapes. Much like a forest path, Glossover is never the same twice, and it induces awe through the subtlety of its variations.”

” Afternoon Bike Ride livre un album réconfortant et enveloppant où les textures sonores sont intéressantes, les constructions efficaces et les mélodies vocales convaincantes. Il faut dire que Kurihara possède une magnifique voix et que la musique qui est créée autour de celle-ci est en parfaite harmonie avec le ton. Les textes portent sur l’acceptation de soi, sur l’importance de l’amour-propre et la réparation.”
Afternoon Bike Ride is a lofi folk trio providing a comfort zone in audio form. It’s in the name. When all three artists are together, their chemistry culminates into one organic and lush sound. Sonics that feel natural and freeing, as if fireside with a handful of microphones and instruments and toys. “An audio diary,” the band describes, “of what we know will be our most cherished memories.” A Montreal-based Canadian trio consisting of Lia (vocals, guitar, programming), David (vocals, guitar, drums, programming), and Éloi (vocals, keys, drums, programming), the band has released a series of cohesive projects where field recordings blend with ambient, acoustic, folk, and pop. A cauldron of genres they stir during each song. With precision, Afternoon Bike Ride presents a soothing sound all their own, one that continues to expand and deliver with each new release.
