Population II is a band committed to its disengagement, working with unwavering consistency on refining an imposing yet unpretentious sound. The trio, composed of singer/drummer Pierre-Luc Gratton, guitarist/keyboardist Tristan Lacombe and bassist Sébastien Provençal, is a master of both improvised madness and refined composition, offering heavy psychedelic rock embellished with the feverish rhythms of funk, the philosophy of jazz, the overflowing energy emanating from the early days of punk and a marked love for minor scales that recalls the ascendancy of heavy metal.
