“Feu de garde” is a thrilling sophomore record with raving reviews. MOJO gave ★★★★, Brooklyn Vegan made it their album of the week upon release while Les Inrocks praised it: “[…] this crystalline record is already among our favourites of 2024.” Adèle and Nic started the year by opening for Blonde Redhead in the United States, captivating audiences at every concert, and by recording sessions as part of the “Bikini” show on Radio Eins (Germany) and “Côté Club” on France Inter. Bibi Club also appeared on RTS’s “Le grand soir” (Switzerland) and was mentioned in The Line of Best Fit (UK). Exclaim!, Billboard Canada (“Fresh Sound”) and Le Canal Auditif have praised the album as well.

Harsh things become magical as the duo transforms them into lyrics. The concrete dust that fills the city air turns into bright sparks that rekindle childhood glee. Pushing back the boundaries of genres and letting their creativity run free, Bibi Club fill Feu de garde with relentless rhythms. Rhythm, breath, nonviolent tension. The album was mixed by Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding, Dry Cleaning) and mastered by Matt Colton (Depeche Mode, James Blake, Peter Gabriel).
Bibi Club have not gone unnoticed these past few years. For their debut album, they won the “Great Hope for 2023” award at the GAMIQ and were nominated in the “Revelation of the Year” category at the Gala de l’ADISQ. The album made it on the prestigious Polaris Music Prize 2023 Longlist, it was included among the best Quebec albums of 2022 according to Le Devoir, and it was raved about by CBC Music, Exclaim!, Cult Magazine and more. On the international front, following praise from Les Inrocks, Tsugi, La Blogothèque, and Magic Magazine, some of their songs were added to the official playlist of France Inter, and the duo was deemed a “discovery” by the magazine Libération: “Minimalist but very well written, this is intimate music in which instruments, noise and (bilingual) vocals are interwoven smoothly, as it dabbles in the world of childhood dreams and games.” The song Parasite made its way to BBC 6Music, and both KCRW and The Line of Best Fit found the duo to be among the best Canadian indie artists. Bibi Club have opened for Blonde Redhead, Pomme and November Ultra.
