The Promise of Everything

‘I’m A Fantastic Wreck’  was released last month and met with astounding praise from some of the world’s most  influential music blogs including All Things Go, Indie Shuffle and The 405. 

“One of the stand-out tracks of the year, which also serves as a perfect introduction to this obviously crazy talented young artist.” – Indie Shuffle 

‘I Am Not an End‘ is the second single taken from Montaigne’s forthcoming EP due for release later this year, titled Life of Montaigne and only serves to further exemplify this young artist’s quirky nature, remarkable vocal ability and artsy, pop songwriting prowess.

I Am Not an End

I’m A Fantastic Wreck’ is the first offering from Montaigne’s forthcoming debut EP, due for release later this year. The EP, titled Life of Montaigne, is like a book, each song a chapter. Each sound is unique, leaving us to understand the depths of our very private selves, where vocals are unafraid to stand alone, or take centre stage against an ambient and orchestral background with influences such as The National, Sigur Rós, Arcade Fire and Owen Pallett.

Most of the songs here are original compositions, all recorded using Ableton Live. They are all released under a Creative Commons license and available for free download. My songs, like everyone's, are affected by my influences which range from U2 to Queen, Goyte to The Mighty Boosh. My interest in loop-based music was originally inspired by seeing Mr Percival perform live. I guess you could describe my music as a combination of Synthpop or Electropop with a touch of Folktronica.
