Montréal duo The Sound Of Eddy is the fruit of a collaboration between singer Abigail Galwey and bassist Danny Trudeau. The artistic whirlwind triggered by the collision of these two minds is at the core of their sonic identity. Inspired by trip-hop, psychedelic soul and punk, as well as literature and theatre, The Sound Of Eddy absorbs these influences and makes something new out of them. You get the feeling that the band is intentionally steering their ship, like a musical expedition, into uncharted waters. They embrace unfamiliar sounds and explore song structures that evolve like a good story, with unexpected turns that grab the listener’s attention.
An adventurous spirit is one of the band’s virtues, exemplifying courage and a willingness to try new things. To frame the vision of forward-thinking music, Joe Grass (Elisapie, Patrick Watson) produced the debut album “Fluid”, released in September 2022. The band has completed the production of a second opus, “Ladders”, with Blaise Borboën-Léonard (Lydia Képinski) at the helm. It is slated for release in the fall, and the first single, Doused Deep Inland, will be released on April 25, 2024.
