Doubleheader unveils its debut album “Slim Wall”

On November 20th, Doubleheader (Arthur Comeau, Jean Massicotte) presents Sim Wall, a 10-track debut album with an evocative title, which puts aside any genre or language constraint to explore new sonic territories. The resulting musical offer is both unique and accessible. On Sim Wall, the duo’s beatmaking and creative soundtwisting are brought to the next level by the stellar vocal performances of several cream-of-the-crop Canadian artists, including Dominique Fils-Aimé, AfrotroniX, Djely Tapa, Samito, as well as up-and-coming artists EIHDZ, Quenton Hatfield and Maya Kuroki (TEKE TEKE).
