The Montreal-based duo Hey Major makes a powerful return with Vésuve, their audacious fourth album.
Self-produced in their own studio, this new release marks a clear artistic shift—an eruption of sound and emotion worthy of the volcano it’s named after.
Vésuve is a conceptual indie rock odyssey, tracing the intertwined paths of three characters—François, Natalia Chérie, and Sarah—each searching for renewal and meaning on Italian soil.
Driven by instinct and brotherly synergy, Hey Major delivers an album that’s raw, radiant, and emotionally charged—like lava flowing from fresh beginnings. The melodies are rich, the textures vintage, and the sincerity unfiltered.
Formed by multi-instrumentalist brothers Mickaël and Raphaël Fortin, Hey Major has built a reputation for their bold and theatrical indie pop sound. Retro yet modern, glam yet intimate, their musical universe nods to David Bowie’s flamboyance, the free spirit of the ’70s, and the bittersweet charm of early-2000s mixtapes.
Their chemistry is instantly palpable—from the very first note—and their signature sound has already caught the attention of major platforms like NPR Music, BBC Radio 1, and CBC Music.
Back in 2015, they were crowned “Best New Canadian Artist” by CBC’s prestigious Searchlight competition.
Now, Hey Major proudly embraces a bilingual identity, crafting songs in both French and English with no limits, no compromises. Ready to kick down doors and defy labels, the duo is stepping into the spotlight—loud and clear—on stages around the world.
