Buy the Album<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This album is an analogy for two subjects that \n are very dear to Buddy Rev: climate change and technology addiction.<\/p>\n Born and raised in Quebec, Canada, the artist, during his still young life, could not help but notice how much the climate has changed in his native province between his childhood and today. Snow, while still common in winter, isn't what it used to be. Along the same line of thought, having grown up in the age of cable television, the artist fondly remembers what he calls \"snow in television\", a term to describe an interruption in the connection by cable, rendering television ineffective without any picture - something we no longer face in today's world where there is absolutely no disconnection... A major shift in mindsets from \"the old days\" where snow lived as much outside our homes as inside our living rooms.<\/p>\n Disconnect<\/strong> Posh<\/strong> Ennui (Soir d\u2019hiver) <\/strong> Inches<\/strong> Blue Snow Light<\/strong> Apricity<\/strong> Whiteout<\/strong> Tomorrow Only Knows<\/strong> Buddy Rev nous fait la joie d’un tout nouvel album, Nostalgic Snow, disponible d\u00e8s aujourd’hui sur notre boutique en ligne et toutes les plateformes de streaming. \u00c0 \u00e9couter sans faute!

\nThe first song on the album represents the disconnect that the snow caused when the artist was younger. On days of heavy snowfall, it was impossible to get out and see anyone. Schools and offices would close, and transport would no longer work. Nowadays, when we are constantly in contact with others through our screens, a disconnection from \"real life\" can be felt - as it would be on snowy days.<\/p>\n
\nAccording to Merriam-Webster, \"posh\" is an archaic word used to describe a muddy mess. That the word be \u201ca thing of the past\u201d makes it all the more relevant.<\/p>\n
\nA reference to Nelligan's poem, Soir d'hiver, which can also be transposed to today's technological world if we adopt a slightly different perspective.<\/p>\n
\nThe first thing that comes to mind when talking about inches is now screen size, whereas just a few years ago it was snow.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBlue light\u201d is used to refer to the color of light emitted by monitor screens \u2013 televisions, computers, telephones. But it is also used in this case as a description of the bluish tint that colors the world after a snowfall.<\/p>\n
\nA rare word used to describe the warmth of the sun during winter days, the artist felt it also applied to the warmth of human connection that we still need \u2013 but sometimes makes itself as rare as the word itself.<\/p>\n
\nUsed to describe an environment where visibility is zero percent, the artist reflects on what we really see being glued to our phones day in and day out.<\/p>\n
\nThe last song on the album, and perhaps the most significant for the artist, denotes a strong hope in what tomorrow will bring, despite today's blandness.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
