Population II

Population II is a fiery psych-rock trio from Montreal, Quebec, known for blending fuzzed-out riffs, jazzy improvisation, and Francophone mystique. Formed in 2018 by drummer/vocalist Pierre-Luc Bégin, guitarist Tristan Lacombe, and organist Sébastien Provençal, the band channels vintage Quebec prog-rock energy through a modern lens, delivering hypnotic jams that feel equally indebted to 1970s space rock and Montreal's DIY scene. Their 2020 debut album *À La Ô Terre* (which includes tracks like the cosmic sprawl of "Serpent Échelle") established their reputation for lysergic storytelling in French, while follow-up singles like the stomping "Électrons libres du québec" showcase their knack for merging heavy grooves with surrealist lyrical imagery. With a sound that's both earthily garage-rock and cosmically unhinged, they’ve become cult favorites for listeners craving trippy riffs with a distinct Québécois twist.
