Mitch Davis, Montréal’s multi-talented musician, makes his solo debut with The Haunt, a soulful LP blending jazz, funk, sunshine pop, and rock with a splash of sonic surprises. Written, performed, and recorded by Davis himself during the 2020 lockdown, the album mixes themes of isolation with 70s-inspired pop charm.

From warm retro sounds to modern twists, The Haunt features standout tracks like “Let it Die,” with its chiptune surprise, and the baroque “Hope That,” blending acoustic and synthesized elements. The centerpiece, “My City Life,” evolves from a piano ballad to a catchy soft rock anthem, reflecting Davis’s personal journey from a small town to Montréal.

And if you’re wondering, the title track “The Haunt” feels like someone who's 100 years old rediscovering their favourite childhood piano piece—in the most delightful way possible.
