Les Jupes

Les Jupes is the moody, melodic indie rock project of Winnipeg-based musician Michael Petkau Falk. Blending post-punk tension with art-rock ambition, the band crafts brooding yet anthemic soundscapes anchored by Falk's introspective lyricism. Their 2020 album *Negative Space* and subsequent singles like "If This Is the Light" and "Modern Myths" showcase their knack for pairing existential themes with swirling guitars and driving rhythms. Known for intense live performances that balance raw energy with atmospheric precision, Les Jupes has carved a distinctive niche in Canada's indie scene, earning praise for their emotionally charged explorations of isolation, connection, and the search for meaning in modern chaos. Recent releases like "Some Kind of Family" continue their tradition of marrying philosophical weight with infectious hooks.
