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”

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. 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.
“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.”
