Wick Records is thrilled to present Michael Rault, the self-titled new album from one of the most gifted songwriters in the game. This stunning re-imagination of '70s pop perfection began to take shape during a period of transitions. Michael, on the brink of turning 30 and fresh off promoting his 2018 album A New Day Tonight, had just ended a romantic relationship and severed ties with his management and touring band. Returning to Montreal, where his van was buried in six feet of snow, he retreated to his bedroom studio and started writing. Over five months, he crafted most of the album, from the drug-fueled, dance-floor slow-burner "Neither Love Nor Money" to the introspective "Inside Your Heart" and the playful "Champagne." This collection, born out of a time of endings, showcases Michael's resilience and his deep dive into progressive pop, psych folk, yacht rock, and more.

If this album doesn’t win you over, we’re not sure what will.
