“Montreal’s Museums don’t sound like a group trying to be preserved behind glass; rather, they’re a band in motion. Rooted in the city’s vibrant pockets of language, scene, and community, the art-rock four-piece bring a restless live-wire energy to songs that feel dense, melodic, and alive – music that seems to grow more vivid the longer it’s allowed to breathe.”
- Atwood Magazine
Gigi Brown’s Top 10 Concerts at Osheaga (#4):
“The four musicians looked so comfortable up on that stage and the dynamic between them was so fun to watch. [...] I really hope this is the first in a long line of Osheaga appearances for this “so iconic” band. [...] Lou looked effortlessly cool on guitar, with Nic and Anthony a dynamic duo of a rhythm section, and Ali holding the crowd in her hands with a stage presence that will surely lead them to bigger stages at many festivals in their future. Their little corner of the festival was a beautiful homage to the community they’ve built, with many in the crowd wearing Museums merch.”

Show Review, October 2, 2025:
“On stage, a girl with long curly black hair is swaying left to right with her grey guild motherfucking cool looking guitar. She sings out words, plays her guitar and enchants anyone who locks regards with her while the bassist dressed with an oversized green slick shirt is, well let's put it this way, making love to his bass as he chants out the groove. The drummer in the back is controlled, tamed yet gashed with a wildness that is subtle yet thrilling. The guitarist seemed straight out of sitcom was a melody virtuoso. He definitely knew a thing or two about harmonizing and adding variations to the chords the singer played.
Together, the four musicians fought a relentless battle against time as they spewed their good vibes and great songs upon us the audience who seemed at first quite tired as it was Thursday. But as the songs went on more and more bodies were drained and dragged through the tsunamies of rythms and by the end of the set, everyone had indulged and dipped more than a toe in Museums trail of sheer psych rock music. I didn't know them at all, but I knew that from now on, I would be running wild through Montreal and who knows maybe I'd even have to hitch hike across Canada to see them at every single one of their shows.”

“This Can’t Be It is an effective, fully realized project in both sound and concept. Kouri’s vocals are an anchor point in the album, and the punchy guitars and drumming orbit effortlessly around the sound. Shifting through the non-linear track of loss and beginning, the album becomes a musical process of change and grief.”
– Forget The Box
“Museums crafts a lush, highly atmospherc sonic landscape across their EP, This Can't Be It. Leaning heavily into a dreamy, alluring indie-pop style, the Montreal band relies on brilliant structural pacing and incredibly hooky melodies that stick with you long after the music fades. The production style is beautifully spacious, allowing crisp guitar lines and rhythmic textures to float effortlessly beneath the lead vocals. On tracks like the stellar opener Dead Birthday, the vocalist's airy, ethereal delivery elevates the arrangement to an entirely different level, anchoring the project's vibrant energy in a soft, hypnotic glow.”

Interview with EQC, recorded Nov 2024, released March 2025
“As far as debut records go, ‘Sink Your Teeth in My Brain’ is mightily impressive. Expansive and nuanced, this two-track EP sees Canadian outfit Museums indulging into indie minimalism with ‘Fieldfare’, then switching to hidden psychedelia and a certain lo-fi charisma. Crucially, the distortions are all tame, yet sometimes punchy. Follow-up ‘Sink Your Teeth’ is more earthy and raw, leaving electronica behind for a healthy slice of shoegaze energy.”

Osheaga Review, August 1, 2026:
“As the concert progresses, more and more festivalgoers are drawn toward the stage, swept away by this blend of indie rock, dream pop, and alternative rock. The band takes the opportunity to unveil a new composition—darker and more contemplative than their previous ones—whose explosive finale stands as one of the performance’s highlights. The drummer finally lets go of the restraint that had characterized his playing up to that point, unleashing the song’s full energy. In 30 minutes, Museums confidently succeeded in their Osheaga debut and left the impression of a band already ready to aim for even bigger stages.”
- PanM 360
« Cette montée en puissance transforme la chanson d’une ballade douce et mélodique en une pièce énergique et percutante, démontrant la capacité du groupe à manipuler les dynamiques et à jouer avec les attentes de l’auditeur. »
- Iggy Magazine
“Most bands would kill to be able to release this pair of aces as their first offering, but as great as they are, it feels as if Museums have effortlessly thrown these songs out as if making such succulent music came easily to them. Maybe it does; perhaps they just make it look that way.”
- David Franklin, Big Takeover
“Fieldfare is a beautiful blend of past and present, showcasing Museums’ ability to craft timeless, evocative music.”
- Last Day Deaf
“Museums demonstrates their ability to combine solid, relevant stories with ethereal, psychedelic sounds. The sound design is rich and engrossing, immersing the listener in a classic but modern environment. Every track is painstakingly constructed, with layers of instrumentation that change with each listen and disclose new information.” - Kamil Bobin, The Musical Road
MUSEUMS
Museums is a body of wonder ballads. When it looks at its hands, it sees clean nails and blistered fingers. Its body, a skeleton of grunge, alternative guitar music held together with pop sinews. Its pulse, carrying melody and sound through infectious rhythm and intimate vocals. In its heart, it feels urgency, catharsis and a drive to wade deeper into unknown territory. Genre is an afterthought. Instead, Museums threads genres as they come, weaving them into a gooey, psychedelic blanket.
Museums has performed at Osheaga, Taverne Tour, NXNE, Festival sur le Canal, Gain Fest and Nuit Blanche, and opened for TWEN, Gymshorts, Aaron Taos and more. They are part of the 2026 Cohort of the RBCxMusic First Up program, and were awarded a fully-funded sound recording residency at ArtHaus in Toronto in 2025. Their latest EP, This Can't Be It, released on June 12 via Petit Village Records.
