Booster Fawn Unveils New EP, Pour Maman
Damaged Halo Records proudly presents Booster Fawn’s latest 3-song EP, Pour maman. Pour maman is a heartfelt love letter to mothers, an extension of their previously released album “Dreams Made of Snowflakes”. Sung entirely in French, the songs are reimagined versions of songs found on Dreams Made of Snowflakes with extended outros that showcase the band’s ability to create deeply personal and universally relatable music.
Joshua Seguin shares,
“Pour maman is a love letter to my mother, but it’s also three songs for anyone who has ever loved and been loved. French is my mother tongue, so it doubles as a play on words. It’s an ode to my origins and a special treat for our francophone fans.”
This release captures the essence of Booster Fawn, blending his signature sound and thematic richness, immersing his listeners in a resonating musical journey.
First off, care to introduce yourself to our readers?
Hi. My name is Josh Seguin. The name Booster Fawn came to me at the crack of dawn while I was picking cherries in British Columbia in 2016. It’s effectively my creative alter ego and the name under which I release music. There’s a shamanic, magical force to music that I find deeply healing for me. My goal with the project is to help others heal as well if they so want to. My bandmates are Eric Desjardins, Elie Madison, and Jeremy Tremblay. We are currently signed to Damaged Halo Records.
Tell us a bit about your most recent release.
Pour maman is a companion EP to an album we released in 2023 called Dreams Made Of Snowflakes. We were having a lot of fun with extending the outros of three particular songs live and decided it would be cool to record them. We are all French speakers, too (In fact, French is our first language), so as an extra challenge to myself we decided I would sing the songs in French. Singing in English has always been more natural for me. I like how the songs turned out though, and we named it like that (Pour maman = For mother) because I speak only in French with my mother, and the language is my mother tongue, and I wanted to thank her in a way for always being there to support me. I’m sure our francophone friends are going to appreciate the gesture as well.
Do you have any upcoming shows you’d like to tell us about?
So far we’re playing outside of our city on three occasions. We’re playing in Mont-Laurier on April 27th (Le Chapeau), in Ottawa on May 17th (Live on Elgin!) and in Toronto on May 18th (Bovine Sex Club).
If given the chance, which Canadian artist would you love to work with in the future?
I would love to collaborate with my friends – of course. Holobody, Nora Kelly, Karma Gliders, DaHL, and more. I also think it would be interesting to collaborate with some of the influences I’ve had growing up, namely Spencer Krug and Dan Bejar.
What’s your goal for 2024?
In 2024 I want to learn a new album’s worth of material with the band, keep growing my fanbase in Montreal and the rest of Canada, break into the US market, and increase the amount of followers/listens we have online. Basically, I wanna keep sharing the way making music feels to me. A musician isn’t anything without his fans and everything I do is with them in mind.
