All Cylinders is the fifth album by Canadian singer-songwriterYves Jarvis, released on February 28, 2025.[1] The album was named the winner of the2025 Polaris Music Prize.[2]
In his initial announcement of the album release, Jarvis asserted that it was influenced bySerge Gainsbourg,Judee Sill,Sheryl Crow,Captain Beefheart,Jackson Browne,Throbbing Gristle,Ray Charles,Brian Eno,Fleetwood Mac andPanic! at the Disco.[3]
Stuart Berman ofPitchfork rated the album 7.7/10, writing that "more than any specific musical influence, Jarvis' approach most readily recalls that of fellow Alberta nativeCindy Lee, in the way both filter retro pop sounds through an internal dream logic to create something uniquely their own. The real joy ofAll Cylinders isn’t just in hearing an artist of avant-garde origin embrace the simple pleasures and language of pop music. It's in hearing him resist the tyranny of influence: Even as he siphons inspiration from the totemic musicians of the past 60 years, Yves Jarvis still can't sound like anyone but himself."[4]
In addition to the album's Polaris win, the song "Gold Filigree" was shortlisted for the Polaris SOCAN Song Prize.[5]
