Like a song through an open window, it feels like we've been waiting a long time for Le soleil et la mer. The debut release by Bibi Club, aka real-life lovers AdËle Trottier-Rivard and Nicolas Basque, is sun-kissed and wave-washed, shimmering and chic, a bilingual party overdue after two years that have felt (to everyone!) like winter.

"Il est tÙt, il est tard / Le vent est doux," AdËle sings over a shining, opalescent beat (It is early, it is late / The wind is soft): a sound like a heart coming back to life, two feet skipping into shoes and out the door, toward the future. She's been singing for years, including with Nico's band Plants & Animals, but Le soleil et la mer is her radiant coming-out: the announcement of a project that steps from the home and onto a stage, where AdËle can fully be herself.

The pair named themselves "Bibi Club" for the discothËque in their living-room, where the couple's bibistheir loved-onescome and dance. With kids at home, Nico and AdËle had to sneak away to make music: five minutes here, two hours there. Accordingly, their songs imagine that a family's everyday enchantments might be loaned to the dancefloor, to the nighttime, to a place that's still thumping as the day breaks.

Throughout Le soleil et la mer, AdËle and Nico set out to create music that is intimate, honest, sparkling with an energy that animates even its quiet momentsand inspired by artists as diverse as Stereolab, Suicide, Alice Coltrane, and Tirzah. It's a sound as ready for revels as it is for rainy days. Bibi Club will remind you: if it's not sunny here, it's sunny somewhere.
