#42: TEROUZ - Hypno Electro/Noir and Cinematic Storytelling

Welcome back to Trust the Band! I'm Colin Campbell, and in this episode, I'm thrilled to introduce you to TEROUZ—a Cairo-born, Montreal-based singer/songwriter whose deep and sultry vocals bring a "Bowie meets Ian Curtis" vibe to the scene. TEROUZ has crafted a unique sound he calls "Hypno electro/noir," mixing 70s and 80s electro-pop/rock elements with a touch of 90s nostalgia. We dive into TEROUZ's journey from his debut single "Outstanding," which was named one of the best songs of 2019 by Rawckus magazine, to his most recent releases like "Burn" and "Big Boy Games." He shares how he integrates his music with his illustrations to create a fully immersive audiovisual experience. Alongside his co-producer, Gabriel Ethier, TEROUZ crafts songs into intimate capsules that sway listeners into his cinematic stories of inner and outer struggles. Join us for a conversation that's as hypnotic as his music, and find out what makes TEROUZ's "Hypno-noir" sound stand out. Whether you're into intense, muscular sounds with a wickedly erotic touch or just love discovering artists who push the boundaries, this episode is a must-listen.
