"...a strange, provocative, frequently beautiful new record. It's called All Cylinders. Its songs are creative, imaginative, moving through radically different phases from one moment to the next." — NPR Music
"All Cylinders is the sound of Yves Jarvis going for it: He’s letting his melodies breathe, he’s working with clearly delineated verses and choruses, and he’s no longer hiding behind the haze." — Pitchfork
“An exuberant, kaleidoscopic mishmash of funk, yacht rock and electrifying guitar theatrics.” The Toronto Star
“[All Cylinders] is a multi-genre odyssey… Chasing the tail of Gainsbourg or Bacharach, Jarvis cannot avoid being a bit more erotic and ornate than them, with hints at the portable blues and post-D’Angelo R&B of L’Rain and Nick Hakim… now there is a conscious, sincere engagement with the classics Jarvis clearly adores—Paul McCartney, Love, Stevie Wonder, and Prince.” — Aquarium Drunkard

Yves Jarvis—the moniker of musician Jean-Sébastien Yves Audet—announces All Cylinders (Deluxe), out November 14th via Next Door Records, and shares the new single, “Man In His Pomp”. The expanded edition features five new tracks, including today’s single. Originally released in February 2025 to praise from a wide variety of outlets including NPR Music, Pitchfork, Esquire, The FADER, Guitar World, and Aquarium Drunkard, All Cylinders was awarded the 2025 Polaris Music Prize last month. It marks a major career milestone and is the perfect capstone to an incredible year that saw Jarvis tour with fellow artists Glass Animals, Olivia Dean, and Fabiana Palladino.

On All Cylinders, Yves Jarvis expresses a brazen songcraft and pure musicianship: 16 tracks he played himself, without a single additional contributor, transforming his vision into the stuff of verses and choruses, hooks and hits, which vibrates like a cosmic anthropology. At home, in the studio, at subletted apartments in Montreal and L.A.—he’d roll out of bed and get straight to work, plugging his gear into a half-broken laptop. Whereas once he had fetishized analog tape, now Jarvis appreciated the value of working without any such preciousness: much of All Cylinders was recorded on bare-bones Audacity, sans plugins, channeling the spirit of Paul McCartney’s II.

Jarvis is an omnivore, and All Cylinders smashes together a stunning array of influences: Serge Gainsbourg, Judee Sill, Sheryl Crow, Captain Beefheart, Jackson Browne, Throbbing Gristle, Ray Charles, Brian Eno, Fleetwood Mac, Panic at the Disco… All this is distilled into tunes that feel like taking sips from a cup, or drags from a cigarette—vivid and self-contained tunes that are just two or three minutes long. “I feel like this is the least contrived thing I’ve ever done,” Jarvis declares. Lyrics that matter. Vocals up front, where people will actually hear them. “If something’s true to you,” he explains, “it’s probably true to a million other people.”

PRAISE FOR YVES JARVIS
Jarvis takes his time with "Gold Filigree," plucking the bass as keys fall like raindrops, leaving plenty of space for his lyrics to land on your heart. Jarvis recommends this song for people who like "fornication, love-making, procreation, steak frites, Prince, Al Green, and Charlotte Day Wilson" — and he's not wrong.” CBC Music on Gold Filigree
“With the ramshackle majesty of a Prince demo, ‘Gold Filigree’ still feels as polished as the titular jewelry, and twinkles with admiration for a lover who’s so well put together, it could only be divine symmetry.” —The FADER, “Songs You Need In Your Life”
"Angelic folk led by an acoustic guitar strum and harmonies that would make Crosby, Stills and Nash want to join in." — Billboard Canada on “The Knife in Me”
