Floating Widget is a stoner rock entity hailing from Montréal and born at the dawn of the new millenium. From the get-go, it has worked the smoky stages of Québec's alternative scene and has rallied a steadfast audience to its puissant stuff: well crafted compositions played with a thick, rich, low-tuned (drop C), high toned sound topped off with airy vocals oozing of psychotronical-like matter. In 2002, the group is voted the "best kept secret of the year" at the Montreal Industry Music Initiative (MIMI's) Gala. Last year saw the quintet move into the comfort of Wild Studios amidst the beautiful wooded scenery of Saint-Zénon (Québec) to record "Praises to the Riff Monolith" with illustrious engineer, and A Perfect Murder guitarist, Pierre Rémillard, whose collaborations include Cryptopsy, Kataklysm, Misery Index, and Krisiun. Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss and Sabbath fans behold! Stoner rock "la belle province" style has morphed into the shape of a floating widget.
