This spring and summer you will no doubt encounter Ben Khan’s crunchy, organic Prince-esaque jams. The London-native has just released his debut EP, 1992. Songs such as “Youth” collect textures and sounds that will wash over you like a million memories of songs on the radio during sweet road trips; a funk like Prince, a register clink like M.I.A.
As Yelle prepares the release of their new EP on February 11th and debut of their latest track, “L’Amour Parfait,” Antidote offers an interview with Julie Budet from their last Montreal appearance. The sound booms from the speakers as I enter Montreal’s The National venue. It is nearly empty except a few staff readying the bar and the sound system for tonight’s show.
