Bolduc Tout Croche is a group, neither trad nor approximate, of a particular genre. Their fourth album is alt-country…philosophical. Of humanist allegiance. We wonder about what unites or separates people: age, origin, place of belonging. We take as witnesses Emmanuel Levinas, philosopher of responsibility towards the other, and Mikhail Bakunin, cantor of the freedom of others. But if: their names are here titles of songs. Country expresses a complex thought in all simplicity, which unfolds in the splendor of guitars and pedal steel, in waltz, in country-rock, and even in rockabilly. Around Andrea Mercier, Marc-Antoine Sévigny and Simon Bolduc, solidarity members share the production: Navet Confit, Émilie Proulx, Éric Goulet. Exemplary teamwork: it is an understatement to say the tenderness of the gesture, the beauty of these allied words, the well-being provided by these melodies and Bolduc’s soft voice. It is nothing less than the album of hope for this trying spring.
