Ep. #1043: Hélène Barbier

Post author By vish
Post date November 26, 2025

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.
