Indie-pop act Bibi Club sign to Secret City Records, release new single "Femme-Lady"
Canadian indie-pop act Bibi Club have revealed their signing to Secret City Records.
To celebrate today’s announcement, the act have dropped their new single “Femme-Lady.” The track features guest vocals courtesy of singer Adèle Trottier-Rivard’s sister Joséphine and mother Marie-Christine. The song is named after a pineapple-shaped chandelier given to Joséphine by their mother. An accompanying music video directed by Léa Taillefer can be seen below.
The act said this about the new single:
“The bones of this song were created during an improv night organized in Montreal by Nico and Erika Angell, the night before venues closed down at the start of the pandemic. That evening felt out of time, one last event between friends, saying goodbye without knowing when we would meet again. Nico called the night, ‘Hope.’ In the studio, Adèle and Nico worked on the song while keeping in mind its groovy, propulsive vibe, almost krautrock, but increasing the tension by adding synth drones between the chords, like in the music of Alice Coltrane. The song is about the need to take care of each other, to share honest magic, to cherish the light and the nature surrounding us, even on dark days.”
“Femme-Lady” is available on digital services right now.
On May 3, Bibi Club will perform at Paris’ La Boule Noire. Tickets for the event are on sale right now.
