Jitensha is an indie music duo based in Montréal. The project consists of Canadian musician David Martinez and US-born performer Erin Rose Hubbard. These two charismatic musicians create upbeat, insightful songs with a highly emotional concept, combing catchy melodies and indie aesthetics with understated song writing skills. The pair focuses on personal themes such as self-discovery, determination and empathy. Jitensha is the Japanese word for bicycle, which serves as a metaphor for the power of human energy. The direction you choose, and the energy you put in, determines where you end up!
The pair are currently playing in Montréal, touring the greater Québec / Ontario area and finishing up their second full length album “Periscope” which will be released in August 2019.
The song “Cause I Wanna” was inspired by French Toast, and childhood nostalgia. It may not be obvious from the first listen, but it’s cryptic lyrics elude to much more than a decadent breakfast meal. They speak of love in it’s naissance and our longing for affinity and satisfaction.
