Torngat is a Canadian indie band and instrumental music trio based in Montreal, Quebec. The members are horn player Pietro Amato, keyboardist Mathieu Charbonneau and percussionist Julien Poissant.[1]

History

Torngat was established in 2001.[2] The band named themselves for the rugged Torngat Mountains to reflect the band's open and improvisational style of their music.[3] The group released its first self-titled album the next year. They developed a stage show in which they frequently exchange instruments during performances.

Torngat in 2005 released an EP, La Rouge. During the spring of 2006, Torngat toured Eastern Canada. Torngat signed a two-album deal with Montreal experimental label Alien8 Recordings.[4] The band recorded a full-length album You Could Be, which was released in September, 2007[4][5] and received positive reviews.[6] That year the band performed at the Hillside Festival in Guelph.[7]
