Champion is basically the Moby of Montreal. His sonorous “No Heaven” scores videogames and CBC’s The Line, while his Juno-nominated The Remix Album allowed everyone from Patrick Watson to The Detroit Grand Pubahs to play with the deep cuts of 2004’s Chill ’Em All. Resistance is Champion’s first album to feature new songs in four years and it takes a decidedly different turn: revelling in harsh industrial beats at the Reznor’s edge, “So Big” plays with pulsating French sayings as the guitars crank louder; the soul-infused “Backing Off” uses blues solos to create hot licks; and “My Black Saab” builds to a metal-worthy wail. No longer the stuff of French chill-out lounges, Champion’s Resistance invites Prodigy comparisons. It’s really too bad there are no more Matrix sequels to score.
