Montreal shoegaze trio le vaisseau d’or reaches for the clouds on Desire Forever

Montreal shoegaze trio le vaisseau d’or is back with Desire Forever, a new EP that also doubles as a collaborative short film with video artist Farid Kassouf.

The backbone of Desire Forever sprung from a partly-improvised live session the band performed atop Montreal radio station CJLO’s studio tower in December 2019. Those pieces were then polished in the band’s studio where they layered on lyrics, before sending the tracks off to Collin Hegna of the Brian Jonestown Massacre in Portland, Oregon, who put his own reimagined spin on the material. That version was then sent off to be mastered by the wildly prolific Harris Newman at Greymarket Mastering, which is where Farid Kassouf enters the picture.


The director synched the first two tracks off the EP (“Desire Forever” and “Sunshine”) to footage captured on a flight to Nunavik in the northernmost region of Quebec. The resulting collaboration is a soothing and enveloping video that layers the ethereal vaisseau d’or tracks over the enveloping imagery captured above the clouds.

Check out the video below.

le vaisseau d’or’s Desire Forever is available for pre-order on vinyl and out today via your streaming service of choice.
