Biography

Fusing dreamy electronic textures with pop melodies, Montag is the project of French Canadian musician Antoine Bédard. Born and raised in Quebec, Bédard eventually relocated to Vancouver. His debut album, 2002's Are You a Friend?, introduced Montag's abstract, charming washes of sound and was released by Gooom Disques, home also to M83 and Cyann & Ben. On 2003's Objets Perdus EP and 2005's full-length Alone, Not Alone -- a co-release by Gooom and Carpark Records -- Bédard moved in a more song-based direction, which came to the fore on his third album, 2007's Going Places. Ghislain Poirier, M83's Anthony Gonzales, Au Revoir Simone, and Final Fantasy's Owen Pallett were among Bédard's collaborators on this set of songs.
