They released&nbsp;\u2018Feu de garde (les braises),\u2019 a deluxe reissue of their 2024 album&nbsp;\u2018Feu de garde,\u2019 via Secret City Records. Think of it as the one-year birthday party for an already beloved record\u2014and the guest list just got a wild upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Front and center is the fresh new version of fan fave <strong><em>you can wear a jacket or a shirt<\/em><\/strong>, now featuring none other than&nbsp;<strong>Calvin Johnson<\/strong>&nbsp;(yes,&nbsp;<em>that<\/em>&nbsp;Calvin Johnson, legendary voice of Beat Happening and founder of K Records). His unmistakable vocals add this tender, gritty dimension to the track, and if that wasn\u2019t enough to melt you, there\u2019s also some dreamy saxophone action courtesy of Paris-based artist&nbsp;<strong>Dimitri Milbrun<\/strong>. It\u2019s equal parts stroll-through-a-foggy-city and late-night heart-to-heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RqI1o4azTyA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>This version feels like a duet\u2014two people walking, talking, maybe sharing a moment. Bibi Club says the song was always meant to be that way, and Calvin brought \u201cdepth and tension\u201d to the conversation. With the sax weaving in raw, comforting energy, the result is haunting and warm, like flickering firelight on your favourite memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also included in the deluxe edition: three new tracks, including their lush March-released cover of&nbsp;<strong>Stereolab\u2019s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/bibi-club-ignites-the-scene-a-sonic-journey-of-fire-light\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Bibi Club ignites the scene: A sonic journey of fire + light\">Orgiastic<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.

Mixed by&nbsp;<strong>Ali Chant<\/strong>&nbsp;(PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding), mastered by&nbsp;<strong>Matt Colton<\/strong>&nbsp;(Depeche Mode, James Blake), and featuring vocals from&nbsp;<strong>Helena Deland<\/strong>&nbsp;and more, it\u2019s a hypnotic swirl of synthy French pop, textured guitars, and emotional depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you missed their first record,\u00a0\u2018Le soleil et la mer,\u2019 it landed on the 2023 Polaris Music Prize Long List and proved these two have a thing for turning intimate living room dance parties into world-class sonic journeys. (Fun fact: \u201cBibi\u201d is what they call their loved ones\u2014the people they dance with.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bibi Club\u2019s music has always burned with slow, glowing intensity. On&nbsp;\u2018Feu de garde,\u2019 that fire represents connection, resilience, community, and care.
