Malajube unveils "Porté Disparu" video for Labyrinthes

There used to be a time when having a band from Montreal was an instant guarantee for at least three months of positive blog press (that honor now belongs to Baltimore, with the stipulation that they have at least one toy keyboard in their repertoire.) Fortunately for the Francophile contingent, nothing will stop Malajube from delivering Quebec's finest progressive-indie-emo-jams (their words.) The band is preparing for the release of Labyrinthes, the follow-up to its breakout 2006 album Trompe L'Oeil.

Although Labyrinthes has undergone a, uh, labyrinthine development process over the last three years, Malajube has emerged from the maze bearing the minotaur's head. In between a blitz of stellar new material that has found its way to the Internet, the francophone five-piece unveiled the first music video for the upcoming album. In it, the garishly-dressed gents of Malajube are picked off Clue-style, one by one:



The entire album is currently available for your listening pleasure on the band's MySpace page until it hits stores. Labyrinthes is due out Feb. 19 in Canada on Dare to Care Records. Currently, there is no U.S. date.
