Basta! · mercy records

“Virtually unknown to the Canadian public that pretends they know en francais by over-exaggerating words such as “croissant”, Montreal’s Passwords are a hidden gem. Their candid, indie rhythms shake with the same vigor as a Sub Pop signee, tying folk strings with hipster howls that sound overdone and overused, but the local roots flavour dipped in alt rock makes you want to throw up all over yourself in delight. Merci beaucoup for the raw psychedelia.” -Blare Magasine, May 2011
