Avec pas d'casque

After a few months spent banging out lo-fi originals at Cité 2000, the duo gave its first live show in 2003. After releasing a first DIY album, the band released its first official album, Trois chaudières de sang, which caught the attention of critics and was nominated for two Félix awards at the 2006. A second album titled Dans la nature jusqu’au cou is released in 2008, and in 2012, Avec pas d’casque parts with its lo-fi sound to create Astronomie, an intimate, atmospheric folk album inspired by the colours of the night. Astronomie received many accolades, including the Félix awards for Album of the Year—Critic’s Choice and Songwriter of the Year, in addition to earning a spot on the 2012 Polaris Prize Long List. After a long period of absence, Avec pas d’casque made a much anticipated comeback in the fall of 2016 with the critically acclaimed album Effets spéciaux.
