About Henri Brillon
Don't let Henri's conventional style fool you; there's a maze of subtle sounds in that noggin of his. After discovering his dad's records and CDs, Henri became a lover of classic hard rock. He then found his true passion for any music that breaks the rules: progressive, psychedelic, improvisational, metal, experimental and more. At concerts, the musical experience is equally as important to Henri as the intellectual one; good shows should trigger personal reflexion and deep questions! When he's not busy feeding the mainstream monster as web editor at The Beat 92.5, Henri assumes bass guitar duties for Montreal pop-funk band Neon Rise. He's also been known to strum out the occasional acoustic folk ballad under his own name – sometimes in English, sometimes in French. Henri dabbles in photography and videography, and has been an avid skier his entire life.

January 15, 2021 Henri Brillon 0

The Brooks – Any Day Now

Calendar Pages – Self-Titled

December 29, 2020 Henri Brillon 0

2/10 One of the great qualities a developing artist can display is a mix of self-criticism and restraint. Self-criticism is realizing “this is not very good,” and then practicing more. Restraint is thinking “other people […]

Sean Dineley – Still Bummed

November 5, 2020 Henri Brillon 0

8/10 Toronto singer-songwriter Sean Dineley’s sophomore release, Still Bummed, felt just right with golden light and fall colours peeking through my window. Call it “October bias” if you like, but I was taken aback when […]

These Curious Thoughts – Making Friends with the Universe

October 26, 2020 Henri Brillon 1

8.5/10 Something I always love is when a piece of music surpasses my first impression and earns itself a spot in my ever-changing rotation. These Curious Thoughts, a cross-Atlantic songwriting duo made up of Detroiter […]

KS – Quarantronic

October 19, 2020 Henri Brillon 1

8/10 Folks, here’s yet another example of why you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover: a tasty hidden gem of an album baptised with a dubious nod to COVID-19 and emblazoned with the grainy […]

October 16, 2020 Henri Brillon 0

90s Score: 7/10 2020 score: 8/10 Most music enthusiasts think of Aerosmith as a classic ‘70s band, but their longevity is as impressive as their early success. Case in point: 1993’s Get a Grip, which […]
