Corridor

About

The artist

Corridor is a francophone indie-rock band formed in Montréal in 2013. The group built its early catalog through the EP Un magicien en toi and the albums Le voyage éternel and Supermercado, developing tightly interlocked guitars, agile rhythms, psychedelic detail, and French-language songwriting. In 2019, Corridor signed with Bonsound in Canada and Sub Pop internationally, becoming the first entirely francophone group to work with Sub Pop. The album Junior followed that year and earned a place on the 2020 Polaris Music Prize Long List. After the pandemic interrupted its touring cycle, the band changed its writing process for Mimi. Jonathan Robert, Dominic Berthiaume, Julien Bakvis, and Samuel Gougoux developed ideas both together and remotely, working with co-producer Joojoo Ashworth and using more synthesizers and electronic textures than on earlier records. Julian Perreault remained part of the performing lineup, while Gougoux became a full member after earlier live work with the group. Released in April 2024, Mimi paired chiming guitar figures and post-punk rhythms with songs about time, family, work, money, and artistic life; it also reached the Polaris Music Prize Long List. Current official label pages and a January 2026 Montréal performance at the Société des arts technologiques confirm that Corridor remains active in Quebec.
