Porthole marriage dance I'm glad you did I'm glad you danced Sudden tightening screws Motor purr Opaque hues Tie my feet together First the car then Forehead bone Champagne music hurt Naturally Hit the dirt I love Montreal Put your glasses down Take my hand Eveline Seltzer fell in love Cigarette Boxing glove I love Montreal

Kill aesthetic charm 02:08
lyrics

Destroy tactless mirth Futuristic fresh blood Swarming christian bodies freight train wall Cocoon the complex problem Smooth scaled steering fiction Clear away your teeth with your letters Clear away branches with half an eye on Whitewash ceiling flow Touch my hand and come with me To my place in town Alone Female You talk about your hair like it's made out of clay My prophetic intuition Will always value your eyes Kill aesthetic charm

Split a hair above the summer sky 02:41
lyrics
buy track
Undeterred as an autumn noon Laugh and be confirmed And a crate of damage Of the ghosts and horses When I woke up and i justified A pair of fiery hides Advocated bloodied Man of law and borders And we sang out of tune We pleaded an opera As we sang a madrigal of sonnets and flesh When you look towards the evening sky Granted laurel bloom Punishing and witty Setting sun's black beauty Split a hair above the summer sky Score a human bone Ethics leave as glory Introduction flora And we sang out of tune We pleaded an opera

Dismal groans of lust echoes abound 01:54
lyrics
buy track
Innocence and language Substitute a notebook's veiled tone Incredulous connection Dismal groans of lust echoes abound Clementine A brown-eyed peasant Clementine Tobacco air Feet on the pine floor An early morning coffee With little dabs of milk A scalded flower hot house With little dabs of milk A scalded flower hot house A drowsy cobble clatter

Flourish with the French inside a holy ringer 02:32
lyrics
buy track
Sweating cops impatient and a pretty major A flourish with the French inside a holy ringer A military funeral lieutenant finger found Two shavetails and a silent sergeant tent hook shoulder A delirious and willing dinner partner Outfit with a vaguely tattooed coffee master A military funeral lieutenant finger found Two shavetails and a silent sergeant tent hook shoulder Little bars around their necks and rolltop desks Flattery and politics feel pretty distant A military funeral lieutenant finger found Two shavetails and a silent sergeant tent hook shoulder

Office door vitality window (I want to see you get away, lord) 01:42
lyrics
buy track
Dismal set the table Office door vitality window I want to see you get away, Lord I want to see you get away, Lord I want to see you get away, Lord A dozen covered summers Raise the blinds, electrocute the kin I want to see you get away, Lord I want to see you get away, Lord I want to see you get away, Lord In the street you see his fevered eyes Sit and discover sisters Prehistoric marshes steeple sized Prehistoric marshes steeple sized Black and white hearts Bite my tongue While you walked home I Sat down Slow Elemental love

about

EXPWY’s latest offering is a letter-size explosion of bent brazo-pop. With its genesis rooted in the hooked-out “I Love Montreal”, EP swerves with euphoric candor and popular relief; melancholic grooves carving synaptic routes for the lounge-laced summery snag while drum machine march ever forward. The fuzz guitars have been replaced with Brazilian nylon genius, but the impact is all the same: pure, insatiable pop addiction.

-Aaron Levin (Weird Canada)

A gold mine of sunny pop faux-fossils from local Matt LeGroulx. (7.5)

- Erik Leijon (Montreal Mirror)

To me, nothing embodies the warm weather months like a sunny, melodic pop tune full of hand-claps and a sing-along chorus. The best way to celebrate the season is with a frivolous happy song, especially once the chocolate bunnies, pastel palettes, and daffodils have melted, faded, or gone to pot.

“Porthole Marriage Dance (I Love Montreal)” is by the one-man-band, Expwy, aka Matt LeGroulx of (you guessed it) Montreal.

- Liz Berg (WFMU)

It’s somehow taken me a few months to post on Montreal based Expwy’s newest EP, EP. That being said…I’m on it now. The music fits way better with this torrid summer we seem to be in the midst of than the springtime of its release. Matt LeGroulx continues his ability to blossom lo-fi rock that swoons like a hi-fi dream…this time with some added humidity
