NEW LP TO BE RELEASED IN 2025 VIA NEXT DOOR RECORDS
“[‘The Knife in Me’] is a musical melange in that it switches gears halfway through. In lesser hands such a move might not land, but Jarvis is capable in many modes.” — KCRW
"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”
“[Yves Jarvis] compact[s] his beautiful mess of thoughts and sounds into tidy little boxes until they’re liable to burst.” — Pitchfork

Yves Jarvis — the moniker of Canadian musician Jean-Sébastien Yves Audet — releases the second single, “Gold Filigree”, from a forthcoming release out in early 2025 via Next Door Records. “Gold Filigree” is a warm mid-tempo track that feels like taking sips from a cup, or drags from a cigarette — vivid and self-contained in under four minutes. Yves describes the track as “romance and sensuality unmasking vulnerabilities necessary to love and be loved” and recommends it if you like “fornication, love-making, procreation, steak frites, Prince, Al Green, and Charlotte Day Wilson.”

“Gold Filigree” was recorded with all parts performed by Jarvis without a single additional contributor (“Not even one!”), transforming his acclaimed, three-time-Polaris Music Prize-longlisted vision into music which vibrates like a cosmic anthropology. Whereas Yves previously approached music as something sculptural—as compositions that emerge spontaneously from raw sonic material— "this time… I had actual parts. Instead of making a world, I thought: ‘I’m a band.” The goal became to articulate songs as purely and as simply as possible. "It's not about trying to tell my story, fit in, or achieve any goal”: “it’s about trying to express something I’ve learned: some information I’ve received” down the wire from the divine. The world’s full of love; it’s also full of mystery.
