   About Adam & the Amethysts

Adam Waito is based in Montreal where he also plays with Miracle Fortress and Telefauna.

Amethyst Amulet, the debut full-length, was released June 10th on Pome.

The pop hit of the summer!
-TORONTO STAR

While evincing the intimacy of an apartment recording, it is also brimming with overlapping instruments, tempo changes and ambitious arrangements. The result resembles the precarious balance between innocence and sophistication that Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks have been known to strike.
-TORONTO STAR

I’ve fallen in love.
-NATIONAL POST

Montreal's newest shimmering gem.
-SAID THE GRAMOPHONE

They meander quietly through ethereal psychedelic moments and a Neil Youngish understanding of the lyrical details that fill a songs with endearing personality. At 13 songs, Amulet could go on a while longer and still remain a beautiful piece of contemporary Canadiana.

That was a really cool set at Wally's on Sat. Really dig your sound. Hope to play together again...

That was a great set at Sneaky Dee's. A guilded web of ecstatic hymns and harmonies that that are flanked by the spirit of Brian Wilson and the trippy romanticism of the Summer Of 1967. Casting a spell with surround-sound bliss and classic gold, exploring the outer limits never sounded so beautiful.

Zéphyr Artillerie lance Chicago à Montréal !!! Dimanche 11 janvier à la Casa del popolo 4873 boul. St-Laurent Avec The Breathing Plain 21h00 5$ --------------------------------------------- « Admettons que Shane MacGowan (The Pogues), Gram Parsons (The Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers), le Zachary Richard de Bayou des mystères et Plume Latraverse ou Richard Desjardins se rencontreraient à la taverne Cherrier... en écoutant du Oscar Thiffault (Mon oncle Pierre)... […] C'est festif, punk, comique, authentique, sympathique... Zéphyr Artillerie résume musicalement ce qu'est la québécitude en Amérique du Nord » Source : Félix B. Desfossés, Bande à part http://www. bandeapart. fm/critiques. asp?id=669 -------------------------- « Puisque Zephyr Artillerie a su amalgamer l'énergie punk-festif de ces Pogues et Mahones, tout en y ajoutant un petit côté très local, rappelant légèrement ce que Les Colocs ont pu faire, et personnellement, j'aimerais noter un petit côté Beau Dommagesque. Mais au diable les références musicales, la seule chose qui importe ici, c'est leurs excellentes constructions, des moments calmes, très soyeux, enveloppants, amenant des moments explosifs, vifs et festifs (encore !), prouvant qu'ils n'ont pas juste le party en tête, mais aussi une très bonne compréhension et maitrise de ce qui se passe actuellement en musique. » Source : Marc-Antoine Dion, Platine http://platineledisquaire. blogspot. com/2008/11/zphyr-artillerie-chicago. html
