Bon Enfant + Reme

Bon Enfant exploded onto the Quebec scene in the fall of 2019 with their first LP – celebrated as one of the best francophone records of the year by multiple media outlets. Bon Enfant (the self-titled record) was an amalgam of groovy “Québécois” pop, covered in tie-dye, with disco, desert rock and some nancysinatra-ish influences. Songs were co-written by Brissette and Chiasson, in French, but in a raw French – think Molière with a beard.

Their second enchantment, Diorama, hypnotized the public in 2021, invoking a new synergy and a broader sonic palette. The range of their mutated influences moved from the early 70s to the late 70s/early 80s: Diverse and filled with fantastical imagery, with naive disco and borrowing from hard and glam rock, Japanese pop and psych-folk, while always dodging mimicry to put together their own brand of fluid and open “Québécois rock” or as it is known here, “rock québ”. The writing, big and laboured over, goes one way; the arrangements, idem, go elsewhere: a clash that opens countless doors.

Support comes from Reme.
