Repertoire

Répertoire is Jonathan Personne’s fifth album in seven years. The musician, who also created the album’s cover and designed all its visuals, brings his melancholic riffs into the light, drawing on yacht rock and dream pop to craft something entirely unexpected. The melodic bass lines, looped patterns, and self-sampled guitars reveal an indie pop sound that’s both groovy and contemplative, noisy and dreamlike. Across these ten new tracks, he reflects on his relationship with music, oscillating between moments of repulsion to ones that remind him why he chose this career.
