You get older, you have a family, and you start to slow downthats how things are supposed to go, right? Not for Montreal band Corridor, who have returned on their fourth album,Mimi,with a sound and style thats more widescreen and expansive than anything thats preceded it. The follow-up to 2019sJunior is a huge step forward for the band, as the members themselves have undergone the type of personal changes that accompany the passage of time; even as these eight songs reflect a newfound and contemplative maturity, however, Corridor are branching out more than ever with richly detailed music, resulting in a record that feels like a fresh break for a band thats already established themselves as forward-thinkers.

Mimiimmediately recalls the best of the best when it comes to indie rockDeerhunters silvery atmospherics immediately come to mind, as well as the spiky effervescence of classic post-punkbut despite these easy comparisons, Corridor remain impossible to pin down from song to song, which makesMimiall the more thrilling as a listen.
