Background

The EP is a compilation of songs originally found on Belgrave's unreleased demo. The songs were written between 2009-2010 and submitted to producer Joseph Donovan. Donovan spent nearly six months dedicating much of his time perfecting Belgrave's sound. Subsequently, the EP's launch date had been delayed twice. [2] February 11 at Montreal's La Sala Rossa and May 4 at O Patro Vys were original launch dates until the band and Donovan finally settled on May 27. [3] The Montreal Gazette's review of Belgrave was positive. [4] While CHOM 97.7 has featured the track Tokyo multiple times, many music blogs raved about the track Six Minutes. [5] [6]
