Brûlez les meubles: The Guitar and Bass Duo Who Threw Away the Script

Read "Brûlez les meubles: The Guitar and Bass Duo Who Threw Away the Script" reviewed by Lawrence Peryer


The name Brûlez les meubles carries a wry irony. While it literally means “burn the furniture" in English, the Québec duo playfully inverts the common French phrase “sauver les meubles" (preserve the essential). This tension between preservation and reinvention defines their artistic approach, especially on their latest album Folio #5 (Tour de Bras/Circum-Disc, 2024).
