Blanc Dehors

Blanc Dehors was born in 2020, in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. Driven by Caroline Tremblay’s lyrics, which are accompanied by a four-piece musical creation by Julien B. Gauthier, Stevens Bouchard and Alexis Bélanger. Gauthier, Stevens Bouchard and Alexis Bélanger, the band was formed around a common passion: the depth, fury and brilliance of new wave, post-punk and synth pop.

On stage, they deploy a wide range of ambiances that, at times, are well-paced and enthusiastic and, at others, infuse the atmospheric, the soaring, the dreamlike and the mysterious. The whole – deep, volatile or highly danceable – is interwoven with simple, catchy melodic-rhythmic motifs, which are developed and distributed in intelligent, sensitive counterpoint. The result is an utterly original contemporary band, where the connected, weighty and steady rhythm section provides solid ground on which to take flight. Blanc Dehors is a luminous, energizing, passion-filled show.

In the fall of 2023, Gab Bouchard, seduced by their sound, offered to collaborate with Blanc Dehors on their second album. Accompanied by his collaborator Mathieu Quenneville, he guided the production of this key opus, supporting Blanc Dehors in their aspiration to make their mark on the French music scene with their assertive sonic identity. Released on April 4, 2025, Diaphane was very well received by the public and the media, who praised its originality and the strength of its sound.
