"A Mysterious Presence in My Room, Not Belonging to Me", APACALDA
In the realm of music, APACALDA's debut album has made waves with its bold approach to challenging topics. The album, which showcases a blend of dream pop, new wave, cold wave, and abrasive rock, features songs that delve into difficult and uncomfortable subjects, as evidenced in tracks like "Dead Weight", which tackles the sensitive topic of rape using grunge guitar sounds, and "Darkness", a perfectly sweet melody that belies its darker lyrical undertones.
The album also boasts collaborations with notable artists and entities, as indicated by APACALDA's own posts on Instagram a month after the album's release in July 2025. Specific collaborator names beyond @cultmtl and @behave, as tagged in the promotional posts, are not explicitly listed in the available search results.
Meanwhile, in the political sphere, Fiona Hill, a former advisor to President Trump, has compared Trump's actions to the dismantling of a major power. In a series of discussions, Hill delved into the factors that lead to the fall of major powers, drawing parallels to Trump's controversial presidency.
Trump is not the only figure being compared to a historical leader. Hill has also compared Trump to Boris Yeltsin in his dismantling of the Soviet Union.
On a sad note, Publications BLD, the publisher of "Les Débrouillards", has announced the passing of its general director, Isabelle Vaillancourt. Vaillancourt's contributions to the publishing industry will be deeply missed.
In other news, Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm watch, warning of heavy rain and wind gusts. Residents are advised to stay indoors and monitor weather updates.
A video related to the discussion of the fall of major powers or the comparison of Trump to Yeltsin is available for viewing, though specific details about its content were not provided in the available search results.
Lastly, "Jealous", another track from APACALDA's album, showcases the artist's sharp pen and keen ear for melodies, offering a lighter contrast to the album's more serious themes.
