"...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

Today, Yves Jarvis—the moniker of 2025 Polaris Music Prize winner Jean-Sébastien Yves Audet—releases All Cylinders (Deluxe), via Next Door Records, and shares the video for “Silver KG”, one of five new tracks on the expanded edition. Jarvis, whose vast influences already provide listeners a sonic easter egg hunt, takes it an extra step further with breaking the fourth wall by having secretly included the five deluxe songs on the vinyl record of the album months ahead of the deluxe release.
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 also won the Polaris Music Prize. 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.
