Lendemains
Les Sœurs Boulay
Les Sœurs Boulay’s Lendemains is a four‑song EP released in September 2016 that functions as a quiet, twilight companion piece to their first two full‑length albums. Issued somewhat “en catimini,” it strips their sound back even further than Le poids des confettis and 4488 de l’amour: mostly just the two sisters’ intertwined voices, spare acoustic guitar, and very subtle additional instrumentation, recorded with a soft, close‑mic’d ambiance. The result is an intimate, almost hushed 13‑minute set that feels designed for late‑night listening, emphasizing mood and detail over big hooks.
The four tracks—“Déjeuner,” “Mamie, mamie,” “La moitié de toi qui dort,” and “Piedmont”—all circle themes suggested by the title: the mornings after intense moments or transitions. “Déjeuner” and “La moitié de toi qui dort” linger on quiet domestic scenes and the space between two people, while “Mamie, mamie” folds in family memory and tenderness, and “Piedmont” evokes place and distance with a more cinematic, slightly country‑tinged feel. Critics describe the EP as more reflective and less immediately catchy than the sisters’ earlier work, but praise its emotional precision: each song plays like a small, self‑contained short story, carried by harmonies that make even the simplest lines resonate.
