Malajube, 'Trompe l'Oeil' (Dare to Care)

Canadians sparkle with exuberant free-for-all.

Arcade Fire comparisons have come fast and furious, but they barely tickle a corner of Malajube's mapless music, which doesn't so much mash together styles as simply ignore them. The two Montreal bands share palpable energy and a joie de vivre, but Malajube's songs -- all delivered in French -- apply the gas more forcefully and steer more recklessly, rushing from peppy piano pop to sweet, synth-assisted rock with refreshing, seemingly carefree radiance.
