Museums’ latest EP, This Can’t Be It arrives Friday June 12, 2026 on all the streaming platforms as well as on a limited edition cassette + download. If you missed the release of Museums lates singles, Trade and Faded, be sure to check out the private stream below and see why Museums are fast becoming one of Montreal’s more interesting art/ rock institutions.

This Can't Be It flexes a variety of melodic turns throughout the six song run time, from Dead Birthday's crunchy urgency to the festival ready chorus of the titular "This Can't Be It" to the lilting reflection of Bends. Museums are set to perform at Montreal’s Osheaga Festival on August 1, 2026.

MTL's Museums is the psychedelic, shoegaze, indie-rock project of AliKouri, NicBarkun, AnthonyKameka, and LouRaskin. Their music is characterized by impulsive, evocative vocals coupled with dense, layered guitars, distortion, and driving drums. Despite being a young band, Museums has performed in venues across Québec, Ontario, Germany the Netherlands, in notable spaces such as Festival surl e Canal, Rirkrit Tiravanija’s untitled 1996 installation at Fondation PHI and Nuit Blanche for MontréalBoréal. They were also awarded a fully-funded sound recording residency at ArtHaus in Toronto, which took place in January 2025. In 2024, Museums released their debut EP, SinkYourTeethinMyBrain.

The band is set to release their next single, ”InWaves”, on April 25th on PetitVillageRecords.

 Following 2024's Sink Your Teeth In My Brain EP, "In Waves" marks a new evolution to Museums' eclectic musical dynamics, adding new layers, both emotional and sonic, to the band’s impressive pallet.

The confluence of sound emerging from Museums has every part locked into place effortlessly like a rolling tide, washing over and over, only to reveal Ali Kouri’s evocative & heartfelt lyrics that tell universal truths about feeling stuck, while watching everyone else go by…the ebb and flow of being in constant motion and yet simultaneously stuck in one place.
