Montreal, April 30, 2024 – As the release of his album Vérandas approaches, Jeanphilip is preparing to release a second single, « Bûcher dans le tas, » another preview of the opus to come. The single will be available May 22 on all platforms.
Jeanphilip is a true musical alchemist, navigating between North American electro-rock and melodic European influences. Since his project’s debut in 2005, he has been offering unique music that skillfully blends powerful and sharp contemporary rock guitar with an electronic aesthetic. His compositions carve a sonic landscape that is both familiar and innovative. His spontaneous and introspective French lyrics explore modern reality with remarkable sensitivity and commitment.
An emblematic figure of the Quebecois and French indie-rock scenes, Jeanphilip has four albums to his credit, as well as a multitude of EPs and singles. He has also ignited nearly 250 stages, including nine tours in France. He is currently preparing to unveil his next album, Vérandas. Reflecting on a life spent in Quebec, Maine, the Eastern Townships and Paris, the album – to be released next fall – promises a rich and diverse musical tapestry.
The new single, « Bûcher dans le tas, » plunges us into Jeanphilip’s energetic electro-rock universe. The track embodies a melodic revolt against societal apathy, blending sharp guitars and vibrant synthesizers. With an infectious rhythm, it becomes an anthem of liberation, inviting us to leave all constraints behind. Tension rises as frustration and determination merge, exploring the complexities of a society adrift in populist turmoil.
Once again, Jeanphilip surrounds himself with poignant collaborators such as Paul Cargnello on production and Benoit Villeneuve, alias Shampouing, on composition (Tire le Coyote). The futuristic indie-pop artist Jon Cohen (The Dears), bassist Cédric Martel (Hubert Lenoir, Ariane Roy), and funk drummer P-E Beaudoin (Hubert Lenoir, Lou-Adriane Cassidy) also contributed to the recording.
The music video for « Bûcher dans le tas, » directed by the talented videographer and director Edgar Fritz (Limoilou), pays homage to the aesthetic of photographer Irving Penn, notably his portrait series « Corners » where different characters are captured in confined spaces.
