Labyrinthes is the third studio album by Malajube, a Quebec indie rock band.[3] The album was released on February 10, 2009, and is their first studio album since their commercial breakthrough in 2006 with Trompe-l'œil.

Julien Mineau, the band's lead singer and primary songwriter, has described the album's themes as being partly inspired by the continuing role of Roman Catholicism in Québécois society.[4]

The album was shortlisted for the 2009 Polaris Music Prize.[5]

Music videos

On February 6, 2009, Malajube released a video for "Porté disparu", directed by Vincent Morisset, who had also worked with the Montreal band Arcade Fire and City and Colour. The video shows the members of Malajube murdering a fur-coated man (Charles Duval) in various ways, until he reappears to eliminate each band member in the fashion they had used.[6] Bang Bang TV also released a two-part making-of film for the music video prior to its release.[7][8]

Bande à part recorded a live version of "Hérésie" on January 14, which they broadcast on February 2.[9]

They also released music videos for "Luna" and "Dragon de glace".
