Album Notes & Community Reviews

An incredibly massive commercial and cultural phenomenon within Quebec, firmly cementing the group as icons of modern French-Canadian folk rock. The album masterfully balances boisterous, highly melodic acoustic instrumentation with deeply conscious, politically and existentially aware lyricism, delivered with their signature rebellious humor.
