TOUR DATES BEGIN THIS APRIL

Jarvis takes his time with "Gold Filigree," plucking the bass as keys fall like raindrops, leaving plenty of space for his lyrics to land on your heart. Jarvis recommends this song for people who like "fornication, love-making, procreation, steak frites, Prince, Al Green, and Charlotte Day Wilson" — and he's not wrong.” CBC Music on Gold Filigree

“With the ramshackle majesty of a Prince demo, ‘Gold Filigree’ still feels as polished as the titular jewelry, and twinkles with admiration for a lover who’s so well put together, it could only be divine symmetry.” —The FADER, “Songs You Need In Your Life”

"Angelic folk led by an acoustic guitar strum and harmonies that would make Crosby, Stills and Nash want to join in." — Billboard Canada on “The Knife in Me”

Today, Yves Jarvis — the moniker of Canadian musician Jean-Sébastien Yves Audet — releases his new album, All Cylinders via Next Door Records, unveils the video for “One Gripe”, and announces North American tour dates starting this April through June. Warm and vivid, “One Gripe” is about airing one’s grievances. Of the track, Jarvis says: "Though it does not go unappreciated, loved ones dish out hard truths when I just want to hear myself talk.” He sings: ‘Talked all night / I needed your advice / One gripe / You don’t tell me what I want to hear / You keep it real.’ Jarvis recommends the track for fans of roller rinks, John Mayer, The Doobie Brothers, and Daft Punk.

On All Cylinders, Yves Jarvis expresses a brazen songcraft and pure musicianship: 11 tracks he played himself, without a single additional contributor, transforming his three-time Polaris Music Prize-longlisted vision into the stuff of verses and choruses, hooks and hits, which vibrates like a cosmic anthropology. At home, in the studio, at subletted apartments in Montreal and L.A.—he’d roll out of bed and get straight to work, plugging his gear into a half-broken laptop. Whereas once he had fetishized analog tape, now Jarvis appreciated the value of working without any such preciousness: much of All Cylinders was recorded on bare-bones Audacity, sans plugins, channeling the spirit of Paul McCartney’s II.

Jarvis is an omnivore, and All Cylinders smashes together a stunning array of influences: Serge Gainsbourg, Judee Sill, Sheryl Crow, Captain Beefheart, Jackson Browne, Throbbing Gristle, Ray Charles, Brian Eno, Fleetwood Mac, Panic at the Disco… All this is distilled into tunes that feel like taking sips from a cup, or drags from a cigarette—vivid and self-contained tunes that are just two or three minutes long. “I feel like this is the least contrived thing I’ve ever done,” Jarvis declares. Lyrics that matter. Vocals up front, where people will actually hear them. “If something’s true to you,” he explains, “it’s probably true to a million other people.”

MORE PRAISE FOR YVES JARVIS

“When you first tune in, you’ll find a funk-bop that’ll perk the ear of even the most casual Thundercat fan… then it gives way to a folk troubadour moment that’ll have you reaching for your acoustic guitar and hiking boots.” — KCRW, on “The Knife in Me”

“[All Cylinders] is a multi-genre odyssey… Chasing the tail of Gainsbourg or Bacharach, Jarvis cannot avoid being a bit more erotic and ornate than them, with hints at the portable blues and post-D’Angelo R&B of L’Rain and Nick Hakim… now there is a conscious, sincere engagement with the classics Jarvis clearly adores—Paul McCartney, Love, Stevie Wonder, and Prince.” — Aquarium Drunkard

"If there is one experimental record you listen to this year, it should be All Cylinders. From start to finish, it is mesmerizingly creative and full of charmingly catchy tunes." — Out Front Magazine

Yves Jarvis shares the new single “Decision Tree,” a final teaser from the Canadian artist’s forthcoming album, All Cylinders, out February 28 on Next Door Records. One of many road songs on All Cylinders, “Decision Tree” is about an existential fork in the road— “forging ahead through the unforeseeable outcomes of each choice,” as Jarvis puts it. The track plays out like a vignette from a film, with Jarvis noting he evoked Eric Weinstein, Scritti Politti, and The Jackson 5 for the song.

All Cylinders is the golden and textured new album from one of Montreal’s most exciting up-and-coming talents. The record is the ultimate introduction to Yves Jarvis, the moniker of singer-songwriter-producer Jean-Sébastien Yves Audet. Despite the record not being first under the 28 year old's discography, All Cylinders is Jarvis's most precise and vulnerable body of work yet. The title, in reference to an automobile's engine, came in part from the process where Jarvis wrote, produced, and performed all 11 songs himself – without a single additional contributor, transforming his vision into a cosmic auditory anthology.

As always, Yves Jarvis is distinguished by his sound—a warm, vivid thing that feels at once like a handknit piece of fabric and a sheet of precious metal. He is dedicated to music that condenses folk, R&B, country, blues, Americana—with a touch that’s contemporary, even futuristic. Jarvis is an omnivore, and All Cylinders smashes together a stunning array of influences: Serge Gainsbourg, Judee Sill, Sheryl Crow, Captain Beefheart, Jackson Browne, Throbbing Gristle, Ray Charles, Brian Eno, Fleetwood Mac, and Panic at the Disco.

Yves Jarvis — the moniker of Canadian musician Jean-Sébastien Yves Audet — announces his new album, All Cylinders, out February 28 via Next Door Records, and shares a video for its title track, “All Cylinders.” Make ready and say “ah” to All Cylinders—the golden, textured new album by one of Montreal’s most original musicians. Yves Jarvis, returns with an expression of brazen songcraft and pure musicianship: 11 tracks he played himself, without a single additional contributor, transforming his acclaimed, three time Polaris Music Prize longlisted vision into the stuff of verses and choruses, hooks and hits, which vibrates like a cosmic anthropology.

The way “All Cylinders” eases-in is like the ideal beginning or ending for a day. A cymbal hit; an enveloping folk-chorale; then the title track’s easy-going shuffle, a driving-song by way of Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach. ‘10 and 2 down Highway 3 / I’m headed home / I’m headed east,’ Jarvis coos. "An expression of faith as I barrel towards fate. RIYL: Speeding through a rainstorm without windshield wipers, Dionne Warwick, Judee Sill, Norah Jones, Marvin Gaye," explains Yves, of the title track.

As always, Yves Jarvis is distinguished by his sound—a warm, vivid thing that feels at once like a handknit piece of fabric and a sheet of precious metal. He is dedicated to music that condenses folk, R&B, country, blues, Americana—with a touch that’s contemporary, even futuristic. “It’s all the same sh*t,” he says. “They all stem from core things.” Jarvis is an omnivore, and All Cylinders smashes together a stunning array of influences: Serge Gainsbourg, Judee Sill, Sheryl Crow, Captain Beefheart, Jackson Browne, Throbbing Gristle, Ray Charles, Brian Eno, Fleetwood Mac, and Panic at the Disco. Jarvis distills these influences into tunes that feel like taking sips from a cup, or drags from a cigarette—vivid and self-contained tunes that are just two or three minutes long.

MORE ABOUT ALL CYLINDERS
On the genesis of the album Jarvis explains: “I basically only listened to Frank Sinatra for a year. I wanted Sinatra’s clarity—the way the songs exist without him, as real things. And he’s the interpreter.” Whereas Jarvis had previously approached music as something sculptural—as compositions that emerge spontaneously from raw sonic material—"this time I just made a ton of songs,” he says: “I had tunes stuck in my head. I had choruses. I had actual parts. Instead of making a world, I thought: ‘I’m a band. The drums are there to keep the beat.’

The goal became to articulate these songs as purely and as simply as possible. At home, in the studio, at subletted apartments in Montreal and L.A.—he’d roll out of bed and get straight to work, plugging his gear into a half-broken laptop. Whereas once he had fetishized analog tape, the idea of “using magnetic dust as a medium,” now Jarvis appreciates the value of working without any such preciousness: much of All Cylinders was recorded on bare-bones Audacity, sans plugins, “no pretense, no self-indulgence, music for the sake of music,” channelling the spirit of Paul McCartney’s II. “I feel like this is the least contrived thing I’ve ever done,” Jarvis declares. Lyrics that matter. Vocals up front, where people will actually hear them. “If something’s true to you,” he explains, “it’s probably true to a million other people.”
