biographical info
Like the Beach Boys in a colder climate, Cinéma Vérité was started in 2008 by Anglo-Torontonian Zachary Gray and Franco-Montrealer Guillaume Harvey. Having met in the back row of Concordia University film classes, Gray and Harvey began a long-distance song-writing relationship after Gray moved to Toronto to major in film at Ryerson University.
Signed to Le Grand Magistery in 2010 (best known as Stars’ former label), Cinéma Vérité will be releasing their debut album, “Sunrise, Sunset”, this summer. With their background in film studies, Cinéma Vérité creates music that is as much atmospheric soundscape as it is catchy-as-hell pop.
