Corridor: Domino

By Kerry Doole

Corridor - Domino (Bonsound): The Montreal rock band releases its third album, Junior, on Oct. 18, following on from 2015's Le Voyage Éternel and 2017's Supermercado. This will be the first to come out internationally via famed label Sub Pop, a deal that confirms this is a band on the rise.


This new single shows why, as it is a bracing slab of riffery driven by ringing guitars. Commenting on the track in a press release, singer/guitarist Jonathan Robert said: "People are often glorifying what being an artist, or a musician, can mean. Art doesn’t necessarily make you a better person. There can be angst, stress, and so on. It can have a negative, direct impact on the people closest to you. Domino is about navigating just that. It is the first song out of Junior that we’ve composed and we’ve played it live quite a few times already."

Junior was produced by Emmanuel Éthier, engineered by Samuel Gemme, mixed by Éthier and Gemme in Montreal at ReelRoad Studios, and mastered by Josh Bonati in New York.

Corridor’s international tour in support of Junior starts on October 23rd with Canadian dates in Montreal, Quebec, Toronto and Vancouver.  Full tour details here

Music News Digest: CRTC Aims To Fill a Gap for Indigenous Radio in Toronto and Ottawa

The CRTC recently launched a call for applications for FM radio stations to serve Indigenous communities in Toronto and Ottawa. Broadcast Dialogue reports "the call follows the demise of First Peoples Radio’s ELMNT FM stations, which went off the air on Sept. 1 last year. Launched in the fall of 2018, the stations had a goal to 'fill the gap' for urban Indigenous listeners under-represented in the radio landscape. They carried an 'Indigenous-variety' format, featuring both English and Indigenous-language spoken-word and musical programming, with 25% of the playlist dedicated to Indigenous talent.

In its call, the commission says in its view, "there is a need and a demand for radio stations to serve the needs and interests of those communities."
