LITVAR
Litvar is Rex Thurstan and Joe Lemieux. The name is inspired by the Kensuke Ushio song lit(var) which to the duo represents a combination of light and variation. Taking musical influence from Brian Eno, Snow Patrol, Vampire Weekend, as well as modern electronic acts such as John Hopkins and Porter Robinson, the duo's sharp youthful sound, highlighted by Thurstan’s heart wrenching vocals and Lemieux’s energetic drumming has ignited a rapidly growing, passionate fanbase.
"It reminds the listener of that time in their youth when they thought anything was possible. It’s so honest and out there that you gotta admire these kids for what they’re doing." –
Vents Magazine
“And I am not kidding when I say Litvar are the perfect garage band of our generation.” –
Weekly Music Express
"Everyone’s been here at some point, trying to make sense of things, trying to figure out who they are and how they fit into this world. And that’s what’s so appealing about “Hi, I’m Andy”. We’ve all been Andy at some point." –
