The follow-up to 2019’s ‘Junior’ is a huge step forward for the band, as the members themselves have undergone the type of personal changes that accompany the passage of time; even as these eight songs reflect a newfound and contemplative maturity, however, Corridor are branching out more than ever with richly detailed music, resulting in a record that feels like a fresh break for a band that’s already established themselves as forward-thinkers. ‘Mimi’ immediately recalls the best of the best when it comes to indie rock – Deerhunter’s silvery atmospherics immediately come to mind, as well as the spiky effervescence of classic post-punk – but despite these easy comparisons, Corridor remain impossible to pin down from song to song, which makes ‘Mimi’ all the more thrilling as a listen. “The goal was to work differently, which is the goal we have every time we work on a new album – to build something in a new way,” Robert explains. “This time, we took our time.” And so in the summer of 2020, Corridor’s members – Robert, vocalist / bassist Dominic Berthiaume, drummer Julien Bakvis, and multi-instrumentalist Samuel Gougoux – holed away in a cottage to engage in the sort of creative experimentation that would lead to ‘Mimi’’s ultimate creation. Corridor tinkered with the songs’ raw parts digitally and remotely over the next few years, with co-producer Joojoo Ashworth (Dummy, Automatic) lending their own specific talents in the theoretical booth. The process was a byproduct of not having access to their rehearsal space due to the pandemic, but also a result of the fourpiece leaning harder into incorporating electronic textures than on previous records. “For a long time, we identified as a guitar-oriented band, and the goal of making this whole record was trying to get away from that,” Berthiaume states. Berthiaume also describes ‘Mimi’ as a record about “getting older” and “figuring out new parts of life” – but despite any claims of transitional growing pains from the band, ‘Mimi’ is a record bursting with new energy and life, a vibrance that’s owed in no small part to Gougoux joining the band full-time after pitching in on live performances in the past. “I come more from a background of electronic music, so it was nice to involve that with the band more,” he explains, and ‘Mimi’ contains a distinct rhythmic pulse reminiscent of classic era-post-punk’s own melding of dance and rock textures. Over bright, chiming guitars and ascending synths, Robert addresses his looming mortality on ‘Mourir Demain’: “I wrote it when my girlfriend and I were shopping for life insurance,” he laughs. “With our little daughter growing up, we also considered making our will. I said to myself, ‘Oh shit, from now on I’m slowly starting to plan my death’.” Don’t mistake this as music about dead ends, though, as ‘Mimi’ embraces and champions unfettered creativity while paving a way for Corridor’s own bright future. “We just focused on making a record that sounded the way we wanted,” Gougoux exclaims while discussing the band’s aims. “There were no limitations when it came to what was possible.” Loser Edition LP pressed on blue coloured vinyl.
