The track closes out the Montreal artist’s acclaimed LP the life and death of a dog
With the rousing success of his new album the life and death of a dog, Montreal alt-pop artist maxime. has gone from strength to strength, taking his off-kilter, lo-fi sound to dizzying new heights and earning raptures of success and acclaim in the process.
The track that closes out the new album is ‘quitting time’, an atmospheric track that showcases the moodier aspects of the artist’s dynamic sound while still boasting the quirky and unpredictable charm that the artist has made his own over the last few years. Understated spoken vocals and a more melancholy tone suit the artist’s colourful soundscape surprisingly well throughout the track, and from its start to its abrupt end, it provides the artist’s album with an ending that feels fitting for his aesthetic and style, unpredictable and doing the unexpected until the very end.
