Interview with Jacob Roberge


On March 20, I had the chance to meet up with Jacob Roberge, who released one of my (and Jeff’s) favourite progressive rock albums of 2025: The Passing. He was preparing for their set at Québec’s Anti and we got to talk about Jacob’s background, the process leading to The Passing, his influences, and a little bit of a deep dive on some aspects of his compositions.
You can watch the whole interview (in French with English subtitles) on Youtube.

But in case you prefer the written word, here’s an English translation of most of the interview.
