Search - Malajube :: Labyrinthes

Malajube is a Canadian pop-rock quintet that in 2004 quietly impressed hungry listeners with their debut record Le Compte Complet and has drawn a wide amount of praise for their second album Trompe-l'Oeil, springing out of the already artistically rich local music scene, with their unique and original sound.
Trompe-l'Oeil has earned Malajube three nominations at the 2007 Juno
Awards, a Félix award at l'ADISQ for Revelation of the year, two Félix awards at l'Autre Gala ADISQ, for Alternative album of the year and Album cover. In September 2006, the group was one of the ten finalists in nomination for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize. They also won the awards for Artist of the year and and Best Alternative Rock album at the first edition of the GAMIQ (Gala de
l'Alternative Musicale Indépendante du Québec), the Rising Star and Nova
Awards at the last MIMI (Montreal Independant Music Initiative) Gala in
Montreal as well as a nomination for the Prix Echo de la Chanson, presented
by the SOCAN, for La Monogamie.
Malajube has extensively toured the country and abroad playing festivals and events such as the CMJ Music Marathon, Osheaga and Les Eurokéenes, turning on industry-heads and listeners alike. Regardless of the language barrier, ''Trompe-l'Oeil'' was released in the U.S. (October 31st, 2006) and has impressed the critics of Pitchfork, Brooklyn Vegan, Wired, Fader, Filter, Spin, Penthouse, Men's Health Journal, Vanity Fair and more! In May 2007, the album was also released in UK, Europe, Australia and Japan!
