Daniel BÈlanger returns with Mercure en mai, an album celebrating human bonding and unexpected joys2021. Its a cold February morning, during yet another pandemic wave. Daniel BÈlanger is wandering the streets of Mile-Ex. After stopping by a spot where hes a regular and ordering a latte to-go, he recognizes somebody among a group of people gathered around a public bench. Greetings, introductions, small talk Daniel BÈlanger isnt aware of it yet, but hes making real friends, with whom he will get through the next few weeks of lockdown, over warm cups of joe.The song Soleil levant was born from this meeting, between a cafÈ and a good chat, while reinventing the world, one end at the time. In fact, you could say that each of the 10 tracks that make up Mercure en mai come from such happenstance. From thoughtful words to sudden surprises, to these little Californias that exist inside of us. The music is alternately sparse and lush, with looping motifs and secret passageways. Its an impromptu portrait, capturing the things that are unplanned, unreasonable.A small band, namely Guillaume Doiron (bass) and Robbie Kuster (drums), stopped by Daniels studio before Pierre Girard mixed this hypnotic Mercure en mai, which provides us with the breath of fresh air we all needed.
Au vent des idÈes Soleil levant Dormir dans l'auto Joie Oh no !!! J'entends tout ce qui joue ( dans ta tÍte ) Pendu aux Ètoiles Avec des fleurs Hiatus Il faut s'accorder
