Montreal artist Diamond Day, Led by Rosier’s Béatrix Méthé and multi-instrumentalist, Quinn Bachand, project began when Quinn moved to Boston as a teenager. The pair discovered an undeniable synergy after meeting at a music festival. Every weekend, Quinn would hop on a Montréal-bound greyhound to write, record and develop songs in Béatrix’s plateau apartment. Their debut record, Connect the Dots, is a “hypnotic and shoegazey alt-pop fever dream.” Méthé and Bachand enlisted a dream pop A-team–including producers Jorge Elbrecht and feeble little horse’s Sebastian Kinsler–to synthesize their expansive aesthetic over 10 tracks. Méthé’s magnetic vocals, catchy hooks and stream-of-consciousness lyrics became the band’s focus, cutting through Bachand’s billowing noise-pop soundscapes and creating retro-futuristic euphoria.

Connect the Dots,’  closing track  “Tina”, is an ultra-personal ballad about schizophrenia and anosognosia.  Quinn: This song is super personal. It’s about my family, schizophrenia and denial. Béatrix: Robert had a strong vision for this one. He saw something that was dark and luminous at the same time. As if one fueled the other. He pictured a colorful implosion cutting through the softness of the song, in this spooky retro-futuristic setting à la Severance.
