Though rooted in the traditions of Quebec folk music dating back centuries, Les Tireux d’Roches have their stomping feet firmly in the present. On their sixth album, the band explore jigs and reels about frontiersmen and damsels from bygone eras, with a distinctly contemporary twist. Witness the Celtic pep of “St-Laurent”, a feather-light tune about a young lass looking for her lover; the fireside morality tale “Conte de la dernière chance”; or irresistible closer “Wôlà”, a wry romp about ignoring life’s distractions.
