Emie R Roussel Trio Announces New Album ‘TERR’ Out May 1st, 2026

The Emie R Roussel Trio returns with TERR, their sixth album and most immersive project to date, set for release on May 1, 2026, via UNI musiqc.

After 15 years of creative synergy, pianist and composer Emie R Roussel, bassist Nicolas Bédard, and drummer Dominic Cloutier present a deeply reflective and expansive body of work. TERR explores themes of shared history, connection, and grounding, weaving together moments of driving energy and intimate introspection.

Blending acoustic instruments with electric textures, the trio creates a rich sonic landscape that moves fluidly between fertile atmospheres and pulsing rhythms. The album is further elevated by an immersive Dolby Atmos mix, placing the listener at the very heart of the music.

Produced and mixed by award-winning engineer Jacques Roy, known for his work with Dominique Fils-Aimé, TERR reflects a bold and uncompromising artistic vision shaped by the trio’s individual and collective evolution.

The album’s compositions, all written by Roussel, range from the driving, rock-inspired title track to evocative pieces such as “Trois lunes,” a tribute to influential figures in the jazz community, and “L’écho des brumes,” which unfolds with a mist-like delicacy.

With TERR, the Emie R Roussel Trio invites listeners into a space of balance and reflection, where shadow and light coexist, and the music offers both grounding and escape.
