The Bedside Drama: A Petite Tragedy

of Montreal

A fragile, lo-fi concept album tracing the arc of a romance. Whimsical acoustic arrangements meet a quiet, devastating narrative of heartbreak.

It's like a sad, lo-fi puppet show about a breakup that you're watching alone in your room.

A whimsical, storybook exterior that slowly peels away to reveal a very real and quiet heartbreak.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the blissful domesticity of track 7 into the creeping instrumental dread of track 10
The fragile, multi-tracked vocal harmonies on 'Panda Bear' that feel both intimate and otherworldly
The stark, lonely finality of the acoustic guitar strumming on 'It's Easy to Sleep When You're Dead'
