Bye Parula

Formed during the pandemic, Montreal trio Bye Parula emerged with a sound blending folk warmth and subtle funk, rooted in the city’s indie-rock tradition. Their 2023 debut album showcased an ornate art-pop aesthetic shaped by collaboration with key Montreal figures and gained national attention when “Still Got the Spirit” became the theme for CBC’s Q With Tom Power. Building on acclaimed festival appearances and a 2024 European tour, Bye Parula continue to evolve. Their 2026 sophomore album Something Out of Nothing expands their palette, merging orchestral funk, introspective songwriting, and cinematic ’70s influences.
