CRABE
has released single/video
‘Je Ne Peux Pas Te Dire Je T’aime’

CRABE (Montreal, QC) has released the second video single ‘Je ne peux pas te dire je t’aime’ from their forthcoming album ‘Visite Du Temple Inné’.
The band tells us about the new ballad:
“I can’t tell you I love you because I’m a traumatized adult who, over the years, has learned to open up and say the words; words and phrases of love. I do it for myself and for you, my friends, my loves, my parents, my kitties, but with the latter I had fewer problems. With all my heart, I do what I can and I remain open to the new, I’m welcoming. This is a diary or a press release, I don’t care, these words will fall into the right hands. I live in action, I love you.”
Comprised of Mertin Hoëk (Télégraphe Jungle, IDALG, Jesuslesfilles, Leamers, etc.) and Gabriel Lapierre (Après l’Asphalte, Varger, etc.), the odd duo is known for the chaos that ensues during their live performances as well as their abandon on stage, making them a must-see artist in the Quebecexperimental music scene for over a decade.

CRABE’s (Montreal, QC) special brand of ‘présent-punk‘ blends complex structures and surreal melodies. Comprised of Mertin Hoëk (Télégraphe Jungle, IDALG, Jesuslesfilles, Leamers, etc.) and Gabriel Lapierre (Après l’Asphalte, Varger, etc.), the odd duo is known for the chaos that ensues during their live performances as well as their abandon on stage, making them a must-see artist in the Quebec experimental music scene of the last 15 years.
The first single ‘Limp De Quoi’ from their forthcoming album ‘Visite Du Temple Inné’ on Les Disques Dure Vie has been released.
The duo comments:
“‘Limp De Quoi’ is about life being dynamic, departures and departures, life and death, for better or for worse. These are the highs and lows of our larger-than-life, smaller-than-the-world journey. Please let yourself be carried away by this heavy, delicate music from us to you.”
After 15 years of scouting the mist of a still unexplored way to make music, CRABE, formed by Mertin Hoëk and Gab Lapierre (Après l’Asphalte, BRU) clad itself in a multi-colored mantle made of art-punk, controlled chaos, and sonic surrealism.
From their experimentations came a word that sums up their universe with accuracy and simplicity:
Crabism.
Crabism is a visit within the inner temple of CRABE, a ride through a storm of ideas that build the strangest, most terrifying and attractive musical beast of Quebec’s musical spectrum.
After the release of Sentients in 2021, the whimsical duo is set to re-map a territory that only CRABE knows how to occupy as it does.
With the advent of the year 2023, CRABE draws from the depths of their being to release an new album September 29th, ‘Visite Du Temple Inné’.
A series of reflections pushes the group to question the concept of rock ensembles.
Embarrassed by pastiches, guitars, percussion and drums, the group tries to bring something fresh and dynamic to this porridge of ghosts from the past.
On ‘Visite Du Temple Inné’, it is with great honors of sharing and vulnerability that the music is created.
