0 Out Now! Canadian Cinematic Post / Prog Rock In Solastalgia, EitherWay Debut EP “Morii”

Montreal, QC – October 8, 2021

For fans of Milanku, Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Opeth, Neurosis

Out Now! Canadian Cinematic Post / Prog Rock In Solastalgia, EitherWay Debut EP “Morii”


Montreal, Canada’s In Solastalgia, EitherWay releases the debut EP “Morii”, out now as of Friday, October 8th.

The EP is a visual and instrumental post / progressive rock experience created from the mind of Jean Philippe Hébert. The six-song recording’s goal is to merge together a post-apocalyptic screenshot of a non-utopic universe within its 29-minute atmospheric journey.

“I’m is trying to create a complex, visual listening experience, like a short movie or a trip, in which the music itself changes intensity, emotions and comes in waves, there is a playful side that works with a nostalgic side,” explains Hébert.

Heavily influenced by film scores, In Solastalgia, EitherWay will likely continue further down this path, becoming more and more complex, with bigger arrangements and more instrumentation, when Hébert attends film school.

Stating that he is a rather shy person, it took him some time to get In Solastalgia, EitherWay off the ground. About a year ago, he started showing his music and received enough positive feedback that it encouraged him to go ahead with this project. He also became fascinated by the idea of Solastalgia and the effect that environmental change has on our collective mental health.

In Solastalgia, EitherWay is recommended for fans of Opeth, GodSpeed! You Black Emperor, Russian Circles and Mogwai.

“Morii” is available via Insolastalgiaeitherway.bandcamp.com, Spotify

Oct 24 – Quebec City, QC – La Source de la Martinière

About:
Jean Philippe Hébert is an academically trained guitarist. Originally from Québec City, JP was educated at Notre-Dame-De-Foy campus, a private college in the outskirts of Quebec capital.  He grew up surrounded by nature with one brother and two parents in the medical field.

As a young boy, JP would admire a guitar that had been hung on the wall of his house for ages, until he found the courage to ask for the instrument and some lessons. As a teenager, JP played a lot, concentrating his efforts towards a heavy style of music, until he started college and began studying classical and jazz. He is also a multi-instrumentalist; playing not only guitar but piano, drums and bass as well as banjo, mandolin and other specialized guitars.

His musical abilities landed him many gigs with prominent local Quebec City acts like Elliot Maginot, Lisa Leblanc and Les Soeurs Boulay to name a few. For over a decade now he has been lead guitarist on many of these projects both in-studio and live settings.

He is currently working on a solo project “In Solastalgia EitherWay”, which is the fruit of many years of work; it was built around the philosopher Glenn Albrecht idea that describes a form of emotional or existential distress caused by environmental change. This project combines JP’s love for nature and music. His influences vary from Godspeed You! Black Emperor to Goat and to heavier things like Opeth. You can hear all these worlds colliding in his music, somehow perfectly placed in chaos.

The goal is to have a 6 song EP entitled “MORII” recorded by 2021 that will then be followed by a series of concerts. The concerts themselves will be worked on as moving portraits, as he will work closely on visuals with videographers. This project is both musical and visual.

0 In Solastalgia, Either Way Invite The Curious To Experience Existential Distress With Visual Encounter “Opia”; Music Video Premiere via TheProgSpace

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – May 13, 2021

For fans of Milanku, Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Neurosis

In Solastalgia, Either Way Invite The Curious To Experience Existential Distress With Visual Encounter “Opia”

Music Video Premiere via TheProgSpace

Hailing from Montreal, QC, In Solastalgia, Either Way is an experimental and progressive act that places an emphasis on an experience that triggers all the senses for a truly multidimensional feel.

The cinematography behind In Solastalgia, Either Way is not something that can be understated. Their music is a complete audio visual experience that dramatically intertwines progressive post-rock and vivid imagery that is best experienced live. In lieu of live events right now, In Solastalgia, Either Way conveys their messages through music videos such as the one for “Opia”.

Band founder Jean Philippe Hébert explains further:

“It’s the scenery we contemplate while driving a car in snowy weather. It all becomes a snowstorm in which the driver is both stuck but also enamoured with the beauty of nature as he sees less and less through his windshield. He stops, there is a feeling of having no control over your present but the calmness of the storm is magnificent, he waits for it to end. But it is also many other stories.”

Watch the music video for “Opia” via its premiere on TheProgSpace HERE. 

Opia is the ambiguous intensity of looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable—their pupils glittering, bottomless and opaque—as if you were peering through a hole in the door of a house, able to tell that there’s someone standing there, but unable to tell if you’re looking in or looking out. This concept is portrayed through the music, frequently changing intensity, and emotions and coming in waves, there is a playful side that works with a nostalgic side.

Solastalgia is a neologism that describes a form of emotional or existential distress caused by environmental change. It is best described as the lived experience of negatively perceived environmental change. Hébert became fascinated by this concept and thus the band was born.

In Solastalgia, Either Way presents a post-apocalyptic screenshot of a non-utopic universe and is recommended for fans of Milanku, Mogwai, and  GodSpeed! You Black Emperor.

“Opia” will be released on digital platforms on May 14, 2021.

Bandcamp

The album “MORII” is expected in Autumn 2021.
