Montreal's Majical Cloudz recently dropped the excellent Impersonator LP, and now the minimal duo of Devon Welsh and Matthew Otto are preparing to promote it with a generous selection of live shows in the coming months.
In the coming weeks, the pair will play a handful of U.S. shows, plus Canadian festival gigs in Toronto (for NXNE) and Montreal (for Osheaga). The outing kicks off in earnest in mid-August, at which point the band will play Canuck gigs in Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. There are also a number of U.S. appearances followed by a European trek.
See the schedule below. Scroll past that to watch to the video for the Impersonator track "Childhood's End," which features the duo's usual blend of sparse electronics and dramatic croons.
