Last spring, neoclassical pianist Jean-Michel Blais was politely asked to leave the apartment where he had lived since arriving in Montreal a decade ago. Before signing with Arts & Crafts, the only time he'd perform live would be in his apartment once a year for a few dozen friends.
To mark the end of this era, Jean-Michel performed one last concert in his apartment, the same room where his debut album Il was recorded. The result is eviction sessions, a five-song EP to accompany his recent full length, Dans ma main, featuring new, piano-only versions of some of the more electronic-heavy album tracks.Â
Tracklist:
1. blind (acoustique)
2. igloo (acoustique)
