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 the here and beyond, pointing to love, nature, and community as the unifying purpose. The duo now reveal themselves through avant-pop and electronic body music with elements of dark wave and neofolk, simultaneously borrowing from baroque sounds with harpsichords, trumpets, and ritual chants to be learned by heart. The pair named themselves “Bibi Club” for the discotheque in their living room, where their “bibis”—loved ones—come to dance.
On their third album, Amaro, Bibi Club invites us to brave the dark beasts that shadow us beneath the surface and devote ourselves to the therapeutic power of a fierce will to live. It explores the sensitive spectrum between the here and there, pointing to love, nature, and community as the unifying purpose. The songs draw a map of a world of its own, following the trajectory traced by the Bibis in recent years. Now out of the living room, we dance in a mental space overloaded with grief and fear in their rawest forms. Following the death of two loved ones in the last year, the mantra “I want to love, I want to live” resonates intensely in each 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 in avant-pop and electronic body music with elements of dark wave and neofolk, simultaneously borrowing from baroque sounds with harpsichords, trumpets, and ritual songs to be learned by heart. Supported by a caring community, including saxophonist and activist Dimitri Milbrun (George Sand) and singer-songwriter Helena Deland (A Different Light), Amaro allows Bibi Club to define itself in both intimate and collective terms.

Johnny Sandwich is a new project from a veteran of Bristol’s music cellar. The East Coast native resists easy categorisation - think Automatic & Human League in a jam with PJ Harvey, produced by Damon Albarn in his first decade as Gorillaz. Paying homage to contemporary electronic greats like LCD Soundsystem whilst channeling the wizardly discernment of Bowie, he asks you to consider music as an act of joy. Stay for the drama.
