artist Unexpect

A new era began for these sound-painters with the release of a new surreal opus titled _wE, Invaders in November 2003. This EP, released in North America via Montreal-based label Galy Records, caused quite a positive stir with critics worldwide and helped introduce quite effectively the evolutionary scheme that Unexpect was focusing upon musically. The band eventually signed with The End Records in 2004, a well-planned move on their parts, with the band explaining, “They (The End Records) are known for their open-mindedness and for being respectful in the ways they deal with the artistic visions of the musicians they work with.” The ideas traveling in their art are related to the imagination and the inherent creative power of all human beings, subjective tales, trancelike sensorial exploration, undercover denunciation of social aspects and subconscious realities. So… still trying to figure Unexpect? Think Cirque du Soleil goes black metal amidst an acid-trip version of The Dark Crystal. A mindfuck no doubt, but you get the picture. So as we venture into 2006 with their debut In A Flesh Aquarium, take a deep breath, turn off all cell phones and get ready ‘cause the show is about to begin.
