ABOUT THIS ARTIST

With a sound that's equal parts languid dream pop, swirling psychedelia, and classic pop songcraft, Jonathan Personne is the solo work of Jonathan Robert, singer/guitarist of the Montreal post-punk revival band Corridor.

When Robert was gifted an eight-track recorder, he began recording songs that were less angsty and bouncy. Influenced by power pop and psychedelia, and using the lo-fi nature of the recording setup to its full experimental potential, he spent a number of years laying down ideas, layering sounds, and weaving in contributions from members of Corridor, Ponctuation, and VICTIME. When the songs were finished, Robert dubbed the project Jonathan Personne and played a handful of shows using the same musicians who helped make the record. The project's first single, "Comme Personne," was issued in late 2018, then "Dernier Voyage" followed early in 2019. Both songs were included on the debut Jonathan Personne album, Histoire Naturelle, which was released on the French label Requiem Pour Un Twister in February 2019.
