With the release of 2014’s critically applauded mini-album/EP Traitement Deuxluxe, Montréal-based psych rock duo Les Deuxluxes — vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Anna Frances and multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Etienne Barry — quickly exploded in their native Québec. Building upon a rapidly growing profile across the province, the duo followed up with their critically applauded full-length debut, 2016’s Springtime Devil. Continuing upon that momentum, the French Canadian duo released a French translation of Springtime Devil album title track “Springtime Devil,” “Diable du pringtemps.” The band supported their efforts by making their way across the provincial festival circuit with stops at Montréal Jazz Fest, Festival d’été de Québec, Pop Montréal and M for Montréal. They’ve also opened for Lisa LeBlanc, Marjo, and Jon Spencer among others. They closed out 2016 with a mini-tour of South America that included stops in Santiago, Chile, Valdivia, Chile, Buenos Aires and São Paulo. The duo isolated themselves in a 19th century church in the remote Québec countryside to write and record 2020’s sophomore album, Lighter Fluid. The album featured material anchored around classic and beloved, power chord riffage and classic psych rock vibes that channeled the likes of AC/DC, White Mystery, The White Stripes and on and on. Throughout their run together, they’ve also collaborated with a handful of boundary-pushing acts across the province, including ALIAS, Larynx and others. But this year, sees the Montréal-based duo in a period of reinvention: They founded their own label Noble Shit Records, which will release their future releases, including their forthcoming four-song EP, Pleasure Doing Business — and guarantee them much more creative freedom. Slated for an April 19, 2024 release, the entirely self-produced effort will feature the duo’s latest single “Always on the Run,” a collaboration with fellow Montréal-based rock outfit Les Shirley — Raphaëlle Chouinard, Lisandre Bourdages and Sarah Dion. “Always on the Run” further cements Les Deuxluxes’ swaggering hook-driven, barroom blues take on psych rock — but the addition of Les Shirley add a bit of playful pop-leaning muscle to the proceedings.
