Biography

Jonathan Personne is the solo project of Jonathan Robert, singer and guitarist of the Montreal band Corridor (Bonsound/Sub Pop). His penchant for lo-fi soundscapes and complexifying simple elements to suit his style has led him into uncharted territory, at the crossroads of dream pop, psychedelic rock and krautrock. The singer and multi-instrumentalist made a name for himself as a solo artist with the albums Histoire naturelle (2019) and Disparitions (2020), both of which received praise from La Presse, NPR, Exclaim! and many others. In 2022, Jonathan Personne ventured into a new realm with his self-titled third album, which revealed a slightly more polished and smoother sound, finely orchestrated alongside talented producer Emmanuel Éthier. Still driven by a desire to make simple things more complex, without asking himself too many questions, Jonathan Personne now unveils a double single featuring Nuage noir and Nouveau monde, two songs that complement each other thanks to their distinctiveness.

Press Quotes

Le nouvel album de Jonathan Personne s’écoute d’un trait. Il est bref, 32 minutes seulement, mais il est captivant.

La Presse

Not only does Jonathan Personne lean in to the rock & roll genre lyrically, but melodically as well, with catchy rock riffs and a killer guitar solo.

Indie88

On dirait le fantôme d’un chanteur rock yé-yé québécois, c’est de toute beauté

Le Devoir

Across eight tracks, we’re treated to just about the full range of Robert’s musical oeuvre.

Cult MTL

[...] un troisième album solo nécessaire et fascinant.

Libération

[...] fort d’une séduction immédiate et d’arguments sonores qui dévoilent peu à peu leur richesse.
