Ep. #1043: Hélène Barbier

Hélène Barbier is here to discuss her excellent new record Panorama, difficulties an untrained musician might have playing music publicly in France compared to Montreal, being drawn to the low notes, imposter syndrome and loving low-key rock stars, being something of a homebody, dealing with a health diagnosis with some measure of humour, avoiding pigeonholing yourself in the press, writing songs in French or English depending on the rhythmic feel of the words, the Celluloid Lunch record label, being a dog person, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.

Laura Jeffery, Josh Salter, Andre Charles Thériault, and Cole Woods from Laughing discuss their debut album, Because It’s True, our previous interactions and how this band formed around a democratic principle of four singers and songwriters who can swap instruments where necessary, their love of power pop and bands like Big Star, the Replacements, and Pavement, writing clever, biting songs about love and being outside, making their album with Faith Healer’s Renny Wilson, promoting Montreal businesses like Pizza Bouquet and Star Bar, what’s next for Laughing and the members’ respective pursuits, other future plans, and much more!
