Bibi Club

Bibi Club (Montréal, QC)

Bibi Club is the musical project of Adèle Trottier-Rivard on vocals and keyboard, and Nicolas Basque on guitar. They explore the liminal spectrum between here and the beyond, championing love, nature and community as a unifying goal. The duo now reveals itself through avant-pop and electronic music, with elements of dark wave and neo-folk, while borrowing baroque sounds, with harpsichords, trumpets and ritual chants to be learnt by heart. The duo named itself "Bibi Club" after the discotheque set up in their living room, where their "bibis" – their loved ones – come to dance.

On their third album, 'Amaro', Bibi Club invites us to confront the dark demons that haunt us and to devote ourselves to the therapeutic power of a fierce will to live. It explores the sensitive spectrum between here and over there, placing the emphasis on love, nature and community as a unifying goal. The songs chart the map of a world in its own right, following the trajectory traced by the Bibis in recent years. Stepping out of the living room, we dance in a mental space overloaded with grief and fear in their rawest forms. Following the deaths of two loved ones last year, the mantra "I want to love, I want to live" resonates intensely in every melody; if the heart is a place that never dies, we must reach it as quickly as possible.

Inspired by memorable artistic encounters, tours with Blonde Redhead and Circuit des yeux, and a collaboration with Calvin Johnson, Bibi Club now reveals itself through avant-pop and electronic music with elements of dark wave and neo-folk, simultaneously borrowing from baroque sounds, with harpsichords, trumpets and ritual chants to be learnt by heart.
