DOWNLOAD: Torngat - You Could Be (MP3)
Torngat was a real discovery highlight for me at this past Pop Montreal. The instrumental trio modestly refer to themselves as "French horn, keyboards, and drums" on their myspace, but their brilliant and unique songs weave compelling melodies that are all encompassing and welcoming, proving the axiom "the whole is greater then the sum of it's parts." The group features Pietro Amato who moonlights in Arcade Fire side project Bell Orchestre, sometimes plays with the Arcade Fire and Islands, and is in one of my favorite Montreal bands The Luyas. Patrick Watson is among those whom Torngat can call a collaborator.
You may have caught Torngat when they opened for Mum at the Wordless Music Series show in NYC on November 9th. If not, you can always listen to the whole show courtesy of WNYC. Torngat's next trip to the United States is for SXSW this March. Check out a video and more tour dates below...

i really loved their Wordless set and actually ordered the cd afterwards.
they were one of my favorite new discoveries from last year as well... hope to see them back in nyc soon.

Totally agree about them at Wordless. Fun set, talented musicians. When they got off the stage and walked around the Church while playing their instruments during their last number, it was quite a moment.
