The 2013 Polaris Music Prize will be awarded September 23rd (the same day I post this). Peter Peter‘s record Une Version Améliorée de la Tristesse made the long list, so I’ll air this interview this week. You could call Peter Peter Montreal’s answer to M83. There’s saxophone and dreamy vocals, but this comparison is a bit too simple.

When I called up Peter Peter, he was frustrated after spending the whole day trying to write new songs. He insisted that he was on a “booze break” after trips to Austin and New York. If you listen to his album, with song titles like “MDMA,” it’s hard to believe this guy would ever take a booze break. Don’t worry, I get him to explain himself.
