For the release of their eleventh album (their eighth of original songs), Les Cowboys Fringants are once again creating a stir.

The Cowboys present Que du vent , an album (concise and intense) of 11 new songs. A disc that moves. Musically, the Cowboys renew themselves and offer an album inspired by the energy of the hundreds of shows they have given over the past three years. In control of the production, they offer a more rock, more electric and ever more festive sound, developing along the way a new dimension where the vocal harmonies illuminate exciting musical moments.

The voice of singer Karl Tremblay , more mastered and nuanced than ever, perfectly serves the exceptional texts of Jean-François Pauzé . Several pieces are driven at breakneck speed by a solid rhythm section, carried by Jérôme Dupras on bass, and by neat and inventive melodic arrangements, produced by the talented multi-instrumentalist Marie-Annick Lépine and by each of the Cowboys. .

Que du vent , it's an album that waltzes happily between portraits of society, tounes of (broken) love, stories of characters, funny winks... with a dose of self-mockery along the way! What wind offers us a portrait of today's Quebec, of an America and of a world obsessed with celebrity (" Putting your ass / His soul bare / In order / To be recognized / In the street "), a society of consumption and contradictions ( Middle class, Shooters ) that we observe through the eyes of an ordinary man who watches his life go by (" And the ordinary man sets his watch on time / Because suddenly time runs out / If once it was not a factor / This last becomes precious and counted ”). Que du vent is a lucid look at the world (" There are words in the air / Ben of the silence that is lost / Too much noise for so little, often / Only wind..." ) where shows some glimmer of hope. A world where love makes its way (“Ent' the pitfalls and the joys / We don't let go and we hold on / If love zigzags a little sometimes / It's never far from us » ), shatters (“ How long is the road of destiny / When we must step on each other's heart ”), solidifies (“ But before love / Dies and frays / We tie it with d 'the spit '). A world where it is sometimes necessary to laugh at oneself (“ We are hasbeens! ”).
