Not for Montreal band Corridor, who have returned on their fourth album, \u003ci\u003eMimi,\u003c\/i\u003e with a sound and style that’s more widescreen and expansive than anything that’s preceded it. The follow-up to 2019’s \u003ci\u003eJunior\u003c\/i\u003e is a huge step forward for the band, as the members themselves have undergone the type of personal changes that accompany the passage of time; even as these eight songs reflect a newfound and contemplative maturity, however, Corridor are branching out more than ever with richly detailed music, resulting in a record that feels like a fresh break for a band that’s already established themselves as forward-thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMimi\u003c\/i\u003e immediately recalls the best of the best when it comes to indie rock—Deerhunter’s silvery atmospherics immediately come to mind, as well as the spiky effervescence of classic post-punk—but despite these easy comparisons, Corridor remain impossible to pin down from song to song, which makes \u003ci\u003eMimi\u003c\/i\u003e all the more thrilling as a listen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The goal was to work differently, which is the goal we have every time we work on a new album—to build something in a new way,” Robert explains. “This time, we took our time.” And so in the summer of 2020, Corridor’s members—Robert, vocalist\/bassist Dominic Berthiaume, drummer Julien Bakvis, and multi-instrumentalist Samuel Gougoux—holed away in a cottage to engage in the sort of creative experimentation that would lead to \u003ci\u003eMimi\u003c\/i\u003e’s ultimate creation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"Blue LP","offer_id":50447953297739,"sku":"2176378","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50447952675147,"sku":"2176375","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Corridor_Mimi_1500px_451f563d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727084531","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/mimi","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
