About

The artist

Population II is an active experimental rock trio based in Montréal, Quebec. The exact Spotify artist 6PPO5rGb8UVDvR1XjHEWZd aligns with the artist-controlled Bandcamp catalog, Bonsound's current artist profile, MusicBrainz artist 05f38bd4-2b00-41f1-a897-6b4d3c48fefb, and Wikidata item Q126959937. The group consists of singer and drummer Pierre-Luc Gratton, guitarist and keyboardist Tristan Lacombe, and bassist and keyboardist Sébastien Provençal. Long-running musical friendships developed into a sound that moves between heavy psychedelic rock, progressive composition, krautrock repetition, art rock, funk rhythm, and punk force. The collision-reviewed principal Spotify catalog in Canada contains fourteen album and single containers from September 29, 2020 through April 3, 2026. MusicList counts three albums, four multi-track EPs, and seven other singles. Representative releases include À La Ô Terre, Électrons libres du québec, Serpent Échelle, Maintenant Jamais, and Gimmicks. Bonsound currently represents the trio for label, booking, publishing, and promotional work, while its current profile identifies Mothland for management. Électrons libres du québec reached the 2024 Polaris Music Prize long list, and Maintenant Jamais reached the ten-album 2025 short list. The latter album was created with producer Dominic Vanchesteing and presents a more structured version of the trio's experimental approach without losing its improvisational chemistry. A January 2026 Audiotree session, the April 2026 Gimmicks EP, and current 2026 Quebec performances confirm continuing activity. Public listening and professional information route through the artist-controlled Bandcamp page and current Bonsound profile. MusicList does not reproduce direct contact details or social handles.
